Hello Holmes, As Beja pointed out, the passages you give through Acts 18 only point out that Paul went to where the Jews congregated in order to preach Christ and not for Christian worship. Your passages purporting that Christians celebrated the Passover do not have merit. The former is merely a familiar time indicator, while the latter only clarifies that Christ fulfills the type of the Passover lamb. Lastly, "breaking bread" is not a specific indicator for either meals or communion. Paul makes a direct connection between in 1 Cor 11. They regularly happened at the same time. This is partially why commentators see "breaking bread" as a euphemism for the Lord's Supper. Basically, your arguments have no basis beyond conjecture. Steve |

Hi Steve, Thanks for your insights. I think the passages speak for themselves and everyone is free to search the scriptures and for the truth of the matter. We need to guard against either adding or subtracting from what is written. Scripture will interpret scripture. When Paul waited until after the days of Unleavened Bread to leave Philippi (Acts 20:6), we don’t need to speculate that it was “merely a familiar time indicator.” Christ does not merely fulfill the type of the Passover lamb, Paul clearly states that Christ IS our Passover, “therefore let us celebrate the feast. . . “ (1Cor 5:7-8) Holmes |
