"Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, 'The two will become one flesh.' But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him."
Not only does our body belong to Christ, but it is joined to Him. Our bodies are "members of Christ." In a spiritual sense, we are part of Christ as our finger, arms, or shoulders are part of us physically.
Our relationship with Christ goes beyond mere friendship or familial ties. We are part of Him. Should we then, being part of him, be joined with a prostitute? The concept is revolting and blasphemous.
