who revealed the truth about the Body of Christ in the Bible?
The truth about the Body of Christ was revealed by the Ascended Lord to the Apostle Paul, making it a Pauline revelation. Scripture does not show the Body of Christ taught until Paul shares these revelations. This revelation concerns all true believers, from every background, becoming members of that invisible Body.
Les explains that the Body of Christ is that invisible makeup of all believers from wherever they are on the planet and of whatever background; every true child of God becomes a member of that Body. He emphasizes this is a Pauline revelation: you do not see the Body of Christ taught until Paul comes and shares the revelations he got from the Ascended Lord. In Corinthians, Paul was addressing problems because the church was still carnal and had not grown spiritually—divisions over following Peter, Apollos, or Christ, lawsuits in pagan courts, gross immorality, and the tongues phenomena that caused disorder.
