"For as often as you eat this bread<\b> and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
Paul clarifies for you that it is BREAD. That is the word he uses, and it's the word I use.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
New International Version (NIV)
16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.
Christians have been unified by the Eucharist for 2,000 years. Christians have always understood Paul was referring to Jesus as the “one loaf we share”
the natural man can’t understand this. Christians, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, understand it perfectly.
