1 Corinthians 10:32

“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:”

1) Jews
2 ) Gentiles
3) Church of God .
Ignore Pauls referances in Eph 1 to OT Jews if you want.

Jesus was speaking to his body in the verse you're arguing about.
There is no' Body ' until Acts ..The new testament doesn't begin until Jesus death . And the first Gentile to start the Jew / gentile programme is Cornelius. Which is 10 years after Acts 2 .
Prior to Paul being given the mystery its not known prior .
Eph 3
1¶For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for YOU GENTILES ,

2If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD which is GIVEN ME to you-ward:

3How that by revelation he made known UNTO ME THE MYSTERY ; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6THAT THE GENTILES SHOULD BE FELLOWHEIRS AND OF THE SAME BODY ,AND PARTAKERS OF HIS PROMISE IN CHRIST BY THE GOSPEL :

1 cor 12
13For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Apparently you think "church" means something beside "called out". Israel is called out.

This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness Act.7:38

Stop listening to theologians who coined the term "replacement theology". The only attempt at replacement going on here is replacing believers who have always been counted as God's people, with unbelievers who arent.
let me guess you think Ezekiel 36.26 is the Church ? And Acts 2.38 , Acts 3.19 isn't Just to Israel?

I see that word as an assembly. Thats separate from the term ' the body of Christ .

Acts 7.38
The Old Testament “church” mentioned here (vs. 38) is a called-out assembly of Old Testament saints, but it included lost and saved together (Heb. 3:16–19), exactly as a local congregation today includes them. The Body of Christ, on the other hand, has an exclusive regenerated membership, and you could not “join it” without the New Birth anymore than you could get into the third heaven without a blood atonement.

Eve is symbolic of his body. Israel being "wife" is symbolic of his body. You're ignoring that Paul thought of himself as a Jew beloning to God's only Nation, his body.

Just this,
you better take a real look at what will happen to unbelieving OT Jews on judgement day.

Let's look again .
Eph 3
4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in theMystery of Christ)

5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6THAT THE GENTILES SHOULD BE FELLOWHEIRS AND OF THE SAME BODY ,AND PARTAKERS OF HIS PROMISE IN CHRIST BY THE GOSPEL :
Its a mystery prior to Paul being given it .
Just this,

I do think your confused though . No one had christ ' in them ' in the OT . No one was in the body of christ ..No one was regenerated either. No one had the spiritual circumcision.
I remember being taught in Church as a new believer that Ezekiel 36.26 is us and Acts 2 38 ..Nonsense. Its just Calvinistic garbage permeating its way into many traditions and denominations.

Keep dancing all you like. I'm done.
1 cor 3
1¶And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
