Becoming one body with another person through sex (something I don't think most people take seriously). Partaking of the body of Christ through Eucharist (something more people take seriously). Being members of the body of Christ (something a lot of people take seriously). What I think is especially interesting is when people try to apply Pauline metaphors for the church to the state. In whose body do they think we're participating when we're participating in the "body politic"? Who is the Head of the body politic? What is the Spirit that gives life to the body politic? Anyway, I don't think that's answering your question, though. Let me know if what I'm missing. :-) There’s lots of “body” stuff in 1 Corinthians, interestingly enough.

Is that not a body that is a whole and all parts are necessary? Though I guess if the eye wants the whole body to be an eye that doesn't work.
