I completely agree. It it a somewhat odd sounding term, with respect to the Body of Christ. The LC has translated their Recovery Version of the Bible to fit their idea of being "blended". In the Recovery Version, 1 Cor 12:24 says "God has blended the body together", which in my mind changes the meaning of this verse. The NKJV says "God composed the body..." and the NIV says "God has put the body together..." The latter two translations make sense, whereas with the term blended you are left wondering what is meant by that. I'm not sure that anyone in the LC could really give a concrete answers as to what being "blended" means.
