By the way, metmom, that Greek word for body, "soma", as used in the institution of the Holy Eucharist (as shown here)
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”    Matthew 26:26
is the same Greek word "soma" used in this passage from the very next chapter of Matthew about the burial of the body of Jesus
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus.    He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.    Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.    And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.    Matthew 27:57-60
(I noticed that you skipped over that latter Bible passage for some reason in your list of "soma" texts in your post #712.)

I didn’t investigate every use of the word. That’s all.

Um, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

http://biblesuite.com/strongs/greek/4983.htm
sóma: a body
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: soma
Phonetic Spelling: (so'-mah)
Short Definition: body, flesh
Definition: body, flesh; the body of the Church.
From sozo; the body (as a sound whole), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively -- bodily, body, slave

Here it’s used again.

1 Corinthians 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
