DESCRIPTION

George Cutting emphasizes the significance of the one loaf in the Lord's
Supper as a symbol of the unity of the Church, representing believers as
one body despite differences. By partaking in the one loaf, Christians
acknowledge their union with all true believers worldwide, while
maintaining fellowship with those who walk in obedience and holiness.
The Holy Spirit values inward holiness over outward unity, as
highlighted in 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, 13.

If you turn to 1 Cor. 10:16, you will find that just as twelve loaves on
the table of shewbread expressed what Israel was; viz., twelve tribes
(Lev. 24:5, 6), so the one loaf of the Lord's supper is the symbol to
express the truth of what the Church on earth is; viz., one body. 'We
being many are one bread (or loaf) and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread (or loaf)" (1 Cor. 10:17). So that in
partaking of the one loaf, the divinely-taught Christian owns his union
with all true believers on the face of the whole earth, whatever their
ignorance, weakness, or Christ-dishonoring divisions may be.

But while he does this, he can only have fellowship with those who are
seeking to walk in obedience to the Word, and in separation from
manifested evil, The Holy Spirit of God would certainly never seek to
maintain outward unity at the expense of inward holiness.[1] (Read 1
Cor, 5:6, 7, 8, 13).

I would just add here, that while the tenth chapter of this epistle
speaks of the Lord's table, the eleventh speaks more particularly of
