I am talking to 'the body' who are strategically placed all over the world in DIFFERENT churches under the trinity, do you think we can start to behave like a unified body?

I pray that we can. Sometimes it seems impossible though when a single church congergation has strife among them. I have thought of tha a few times. we just have to do our part and pray. Jesus loves you.

The Bible uses several analogies to teach us about God's Church—how it is organized, how it works and how we should relate to the Church and each other. One of these compares the Church with something close at hand—our amazing human body.
"But, speaking the truth in love, [we] may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love" (Ephesians 4:15-16).
"But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it" (1 Corinthians 12:24-26).
God calls and places each member individually in the Body where he or she can best grow and serve for the benefit of the entire Body.

No way, Jose. History has a habit of repeating itself (crusades, Irish religious terrorists, etc.) with conflicts between DIFFERENT churches under the trinity.

I believe that as we approach the coming of the Bridegroom, true believers will hunger and thirst for Unity in the body as we hunger and thirst more for God. I believe that God will create this hunger in us to prepare us as His bride.
Those who do not prepare in this way will be like the virgins of Matthew 25 who did not bring enough oil for their lamps, to the wedding feast and missed out.

I can't imagine the words "Christ" and "unify" in the same thought.

You've had almost 2000 years. You've divided like amoebas. It's official: Christianity is a failure.
