Jim, sorry, are you talking about the Body of Christ (ie an "ear" cannot be a "hand" etc. but all parts work together to make up the One Body and one part cannot work without the others - sorry paraphrasing there) or the human body?

I think the 'I' is your personality, which exists prior to your 'being'; that's if I've got it right?

Jimc, I'm not sure what kind of response you want. I wish you would make it clear whether you are asking for information or want to start a discussion on a particular viewpoint.

Is this a reference to the relationship between body and soul, or the Church as the body of Christ?

12For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ.

13For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink.

14For the body also is not one member, but many.

15If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?

16And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body ?

17If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

18But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him.

19And if they all were one member, where would be the body?

20But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.

21And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help; nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

22Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary.

23And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness.

24But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour,

25That there might be no schism in the body; but the members might be mutually careful one for another.

26And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member.
Howdy Folks. Has anybody seen my husband lately?
