One Corinthians Chapter 12.

[MosesKnows]

My question was
Where in the New Testament scriptures is that assertion (The Church is the Body of Christ) located?

One Corinthians Chapter 12 does not address that question.

Colossians Chapter 1 teaches that Christ lives inside the believer so the believer is the Body of Christ, not a church.

In my opinion the church is Christianity's biggest problem because many church's religion makes up rules that are not based on scripture.

But the Catholics have glombed onto this as meaning THEIR religious organization and no one else's.

One can tell that Paul is writing to INDIVIDUALS in that chapter;

27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

and not some organization.

2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
