Obey Them that Rule???

Does God's body have multiple, or in some sort of corporate format, hierarchal delegated headships?

There is what is often called "the five-fold ministry" (that exercise different kinds of "leadership," it doesn't mean all of them have the same kind of leadership role in the Church) and there are elders.

If my own body functions perfectly with one head governing many members, why would God's own body need multiple heads to affect its operation?

By asking this question, you deny the clear command of scripture "obey THEM that have the rule over you." Christ is not a them.

I believe that tabernacle of God is no longer a building, but rather, is now a body.

But the New Testament describes the Church (and, to an extent, Christians individually) as not only a body (the Church as Christ's body and Christians as body parts) but also as God's building.
