Those who choose to observe the Lord's Supper in the manner prescribed by the Apostle Paul, may offend you personally, but they, none-the-less, base their practice upon Scripture.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:
[16] The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
[17] Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.


Let's carry your "interpretation" of Paul's teaching to it's logical conclusion:

There is one bread.

we who are many, who partake of this one bread, are one body.

We are the actual flesh and blood of Jesus? (Purposely rediculous.)

Consider:

1 Corinthians 11:
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.


Bread and cup. Still bread and cup.
