I stand by my statement.

The point remains that the need to “discern the body” and eat it “worthily” are references to the physical body of Christ on the cross and not the body of believers.

That is because St. Paul makes reference to the words of Christ at the Last Supper where He was talking about His physical body being given up. These references are adjacent to the references to “discerning” and eat “worthily”.

I have no doubt you will continue to disregard the meaning of the passage, as your pattern has been.

Unfortunately for your wrested point of view, it doesn’t say what you claim.

This is always the problem for everyone who brings an idea into a passage and tries to prove the passage supports that idea (eisogesis), instead of starting with Gods Word and asking what it means and teaches (exegesis).

Best.

Of course!

Never, never, NEVER admit you are wrong.

Just where, EXACTLY, ARE your vague 'references'?
