Paul said, regarding the bread and wine, at Jesus’ Last Supper: “For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.”

How do you interpret the preceding passage?

When I was protestant, this was always a problem passage for me. I am interested in how others view it.

I was taught to take this scripture serious. If I wasn’t “right” with God, I better not take communion or I better “get right” with God real quick and mean it. I hear its bad for your health, both spiritual and physical. “That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.”

When I was converting this verse and 1 Corinthians 10:16 were the most convincing verses to me with regards to the Real Presence. Even more so than John 6, which I found to be vague.

I agree. As a former protestant, that was the case for me as well. What those passages did for me, was help me discern the meaning of John 6. John 6 by itself kind of kept me wanting more, as was the case with the apostles, judging on their lukewarm response to Jesus in John 6.
