Is the church the body of christ, or was the image of the body used as a metaphor to illustrate the imperative for harmonious co operation between diverse people within it? Or is this a false dichotomy?

The thing is when i hear the term "body of christ in this sense I pick up that many, many of such actually make the church the focus of their worship and faith, given that we all tend to undercut the sole mediatorship of christ and trust in our pastors or christian "friends" rather than in God himself. I know I have done this

The body of Christ is not a physical entity, although it can be when believers "gather", however that is done. The body of Christ is spiritually united in Christ which means all true believers are brothers and sisters in the Lord with people of all nations, tribes, and tongues 2-NEW-grouphug02
