Question for all who believe that the holy communion is about bodily healing

Hello,
I have a very important question which has been bogging me for a long time and I simply cannot resolve it.
I want to ask for help. I hope someone can help me. I first learned about the holy communion and healing through Joseph Prince. He teaches this.
I have Joseph Prince' DVD series on the holy communion.


But something which I noticed and which I find really odd is that Joseph Prince whenever he talks about the holy communion only discusses the verses in 1.Corinthians Chapter 11 until verse 29 and then he stops.

But what about verse 32? Verse 32 clearly speaks about GOD judging and disciplining us.And what about verse 33 where Paul emphasizes that the christian shall eat together?

I simply cannot fit there 2 verses into the interpretation that the holy communion is about healing. Joseph Prince always says that it's not about God's judgement and that when we fail to discern the body then we simply remain sick. But how does this fit together with verse 32? And is the only mistake the corinthians made was not to discern the Lord's body then why does Paul put so much emphasis on them waiting for each other with the communion? Then why can't everyone simply eat the bread whenever he wants to?

If I cannot resolve these questions then everything was forsaken then the entire
dvd series which I bought profits me nothing cause I don't know if it's really true.
I have thought about these 2 verses and I cannot make sense of them.

I want to believe that the holy communion is about healing and that Paul really meant that when he wrote 1.Cor chaper 11 but in my opinion it doesn't fit together. I would never have come to the conclusion that this is about healing on my own. I feel like this interpretation is artificial and not really waterproof which is why Prince always stops about verse 29 and never touches on 32 and 33 because only if he could explain these verses, too, the whole thing would make sense. :confused:
I also have a book about bodily healing and Isaiah 53 and the author also writes about the holy communion and he, just like Prince, only discusses the verses of 1. Cor 11 until verse 29 and then he stops! It's really almost funny. Why do those who teach this stop at verse 29? It's really as if they know that verse 32 and 33 do not fit into their interpretation and then they simply ignore them. But I cannot do this. This would be dishonest. I can't believe in this unless I can really make it fit together and feel like this is REALLY what the bible means and I don't really feel like it. :(

32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.

33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.

I do like Joseph Prince and his teaching on Grace, I have listened to many of his sermons and I have heard him talking about the Holy communion and healing but I don't think he teaches that's entirely what the communion is all about but he uses as a way we could use to get a healing, personally i don't think it is one of his best teachings.

I agree with A New Dawn.

My Unorthodox answer is that if you ask men truth, you're going to get their idea of it. Study and pray, and God will reveal his truth...........that's his promise. Then you have a stronger reason for your belief, rather than following some someone else.

Hello,
no. I mean you can email his ministry but usually they do not answer questions and tell you to discuss it with your pastor but this doesn't help me.

I also cannot figure it out on my own. I mean when I read it on my own I'd never even have come up with this interpretation at all. I would have understood it in the sense that those who died were punished by God for being drunk at the holy communion.

I don't know what to think. I really would like it to be true what Prince teaches but there are so many problems with it. :(
