Bible Note: 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 |
