1 Corinthians 11:18, what kind of divisions actually?
score:2
Accepted answer
In Corinth, it's thought that the rich and the poor in the church were quite divided. When they came together, it was in the same place, but, the rich who didn't work long hours would come early, and bring much food, and feast. The poor, only after working, would come, but they would have only meagre food. Paul is saying that this lack of sharing, this unconcern for the other members of "Christ's body"βi.e. the other members of the church, means the church is not celebrating "the Lord's Supper" but something else. Unity among believers and care for one another, across all divides, including socioeconomicβand by extension, ethnic and gender etc., is expected if the church is the "Lord's body" and how we relate to one another in the church is very important to the Lord. When Paul mentions a person who does "neglects the Lord's body" he's not talking about the communion elements but the relationships between church members.
