Emile, I stand by my belief so obvious in the scriptures that the Body of Christ began when Jesus came down from Heaven and revealed the "Mystery of Grace to Paul on the road to Damascus." Paul was the one minister picked by God to reveal this to the Gentiles. The Kingdom dispensation that was Judiasm was slowly passing off the scene as Jesus revealed more and more of the Dispensation of Grace to Paul. I was really astounded when I first read when Paul repeated the warning that if anyone taught a different Gospel from his, they were to be accursed. You realize of course that although Jesus revealed this Gospel to Paul, when He was on earth, Jesus taught strictly Judiasm to the Jews only to fulfill prophesy and the Kingdom promises to the Jews. The Jews did not accept Him as there Savior and with the stoning death of Stephen, God abandoned the fulfillment of the Kingdom and the 12 thrones for the apostles that they were expecting to rule the 12 tribes. I believe that Jesus knew that He would be rejected by the Jews and that the Dispensation of Grace was a secret that only He knew until he revealed it to Paul. Jesus fulfilled the promises to the Jews but our Awesome God knew how it would turn out. Today in this age of Grace, God is our head and we are the body of God's spiritual Church. Regards, Santiago
