The body of Christ is separate from Israel and Gentile nations. There are Jews, Gentiles, and the Church.
The main thing I was going for with the Adam and Eve thing was this
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
No type is perfect, but the teaching is definitely there and Paul does compare Jesus to Adam, and I think it's clear from Gen 2 that being of one flesh and bones makes one
married, so go blow it out your nose because I never said that the Church was taken out of His body.
