We only have the body of the Church because Christ gave up His physical body. So the two things are related, and it is natural for anyone talking of the Church as a metaphorical body of Christ also refer to His physical body. The reference in 1 Cor. 11 is such reference, it is manifestly a reference to His physical body because the Church, his metaphorical body, did not die on the Cross.

You are attempting to obfuscate the Scripture.

“You are attempting to obfuscate the Scripture.”

No. I am placing the verses in their context - SEVEN CHAPTERS OF CONTEXT - and showing that verse 11:24 was not defining verse 11:29.

It is bad hermeneutics to ignore the preceding 3 chapters and the following 3 chapters in defining what a term refers to in the center chapter.

Why does the context of 7 consecutive chapters disturb you?
