They naturally cooperate with each other, because that's the way they are arranged. But the picture of the Body in the Bible is not about this. It's about variety of function, value of each member and obedience to the Head. That's it. You are taking the metaphor to places the Bible does not intend, IMHO.

I agree with that, Igzy. No member of my body is autonomous. Why, in that sense, is it any different in the Body of Christ?
