When is the term 'Body of Christ' first seen in the Bible?
The term 'Body of Christ' is first seen in the revelations given to the Apostle Paul. It is Pauline terminology, not found in the Old Testament or the early chapters of Acts, where God continued dealing with Israel until the Body of Christ, the Church, was introduced.
Les teaches that the Body of Christ, the Church, is introduced only after God continues dealing with the Jew in the early chapters of Acts. He emphasizes that 'Body of Christ' is a Pauline terminology, not seen until the revelations given to the Apostle Paul. This connects to Paul's conversion experience on the road to Damascus, where the Lord spoke to Ananias and designated Paul for his mission.
