Posted for everyone’s edification not just those pinged:
“Soma” also appears in the following passages: Matt 27:58-59, Mark 14:8, Mark 15:43, Luke 23:52 & 55, Luke 24:3, Luke 24:23, John 19:38, Acts 9:40, Romans 12:5, 1 Cor 11:29, 1 Cor 12:12-13. (Note, this is not an exhaustive list either)
As metmom wrote earlier, there are different definitions for “soma”, one literal (flesh), one figurative (a body, either human or a collection of works) one metaphorical (the Church).
It is thus left to the reader to discern when and/ or where each sense must be applied.
Note, some of the passages above clearly and indisputably use “soma” to refer to the actual, “literal”, Body of Christ, i.e., His Flesh. Such passages are found immediately after the Last Supper account in the Gospels.
Actually, when He’s talking about eating His flesh, as in John 6, He uses the different tern, of *sarx*, not soma.
*Sarx* is what means the literal flesh as in that which is muscle etc. If you read the further analysis of the word at the links, that is explained.
*soma* obviously has a different connotation, otherwise it wouldn’t be a separate word.
Jesus used *soma* at the Last Supper, not *sarx*.
