Hi and the Body of Christ is first mention by Paul and only Paul !!
When this question is asked , the answers are all over the map , so what does the bible say by ;
#1 , CONTEXT
#2 , DISPENSATIONALLY
#3 , GRAMMATICALLY
#4, hISTOTICALLY
#5 , 2 Tim 2:15
#6 , Phil 1:10
Turn to 1 Tim 1:15 and 16 , as the Context is Grace and the Dispensation of Grace .
" That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am PROTOS/FIRST ."
Verse 16 says , " in order that in me FIRST/PROTOS Christ Jesus might show forth all longsuffering for a PATTERN of the ones coming to believe on Him unto everlasting life .
So , we see that SAUL was saved by Grace and the FIRST/PROTOS one in the Body of Christ , dan p

Christ was not named until He was born :(
Paul tells us that the Church (the body of Christ) existed before the Earth.
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

No it is you that have the misunderstanding.
I'll type this slow so you can understand.
You said

I said Christ was not named until He was born :(
Paul tells us that the Church (the body of Christ) existed before the Earth.
Do you disagree with that? If so please explain.
