Jesus IS Israel along with us who believe in him. The broken off unbelievers can be reattached to Israel if they accept Christ. See Romans 11 especially..........You love to ignore verses that disagree with you.
Christ is the head of the body, yes. He is the head of the church, yes.
It does not say the church is the body. If it did it would have said which is the church or similar. But it does not.
It is part of a long list of what Christ is.
Ephesians 3:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Not the same heir.
Body, not church.
Israel is a nation. Church is a people.
“And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.” (Romans 11:23) (NASB95)
