"Wow, now I am confused. I know that the Church is the body of Christ. Are you saying the Church Is The Lord Jesus Christ?"

The Church is His Temple. (His Body) Eph 2: 21-22; 1 Pet2:5-9, etc. etc.

Why you would bring him into this is bizarre in the extreme. You really ARE confused.

To me, IMHO, the closer we get to God the greater the distance between us. One of those paradoxes. We will be one with God in the eternal state but his awesomeness then will be infinitely more awesome then than I imagine it now. Even when my relationship started on earth I was like Colton who met Jesus in "Heaven is For Real". He was my friend. Now My Lord Jesus Christ is starting to show me how awesome he truly is. I am part of the body of Christ but he is the head. There will be a separation. Another analogy is husband and wife. The true church is the Bride of Christ.

Ephesians 4:15 (New International Version) Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Why you would bring him into this is bizarre in the extreme. You really ARE confused.

I can imagine Gagdad Bob's book saying in the end We are God. No Thanks
