Having been baptized,all of us are incorporated into His body as members.You are indeed right, we are united in Christ as one.

Notice these verses that teach the body and the church are the same thing:
"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." (Colossians 1:18)
"Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:" (Colossians 1:24)
"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:22-23)
Also of interest, the Bible teaches there is only "one body". (Ephesians 4:4) Since there is only one body, and the body is the church, there is only one church that is approved by God.

I think this is why He chose Bread and Wine to become His actual Body Blood Soul and Divinity and for His followers to consume it.
From the many grains of wheat, from the many grapes comes the wine which are changed into the actual Body of Christ. We, His followers become One Body One Bread.
We become part of Christ and His entire Church Body, we commune with our Savior.

The church and each individual make up the body of Christ since when we accept Christ into our lives Christ live in and through us.

Yes I do.
Thats why the first thing that happens in heaven is the marriage feast.
I dont know about the two becoming one flesh....no bible evidence to support that of which I am familiar.

"And (Christ) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
Colossians 1:18
AND...
The Catechism:
Q: What is the Church?
A: The Church is the body of which Jesus Christ is the Head, and all Baptized persons are the members

Not in this country. Our Lord was a liberal, how could he want the stuck up republican churches of today.
