Eucharist is not found in the bible.

Well said. It was first a Greek word. Eucharist simply means "giving thanks". When one reads Scripture outside of its original Hebrew/Jewish context, it quickly becomes the source for all manner of paganism. The eucharist is one of them. The first record of this word is found in a First Century document that neither Catholics or Protestants want "common people" to know about. It is called the Didache. When one reads how the Didache uses the word eucharist and one also knows how "He blessed and breaked bread" is used it becomes pretty clear. Since ancient times, there are idioms for blessing G-d before eating. Saying, "hamotzi" or "blessing" are all within the context of the normal Hebrew model for prayer (blessing the Giver of life and food, rather than the perverted "bless the food" of the western/pagan mentality). You are right about eucharist in the sense of a sacrament is not found in Scripture. Blessing and thanking the One Who gave food to eat is very much in Scripture. Which means that there has been a huge deception going on, eh?

As for "communion" or "the L-rd's Supper" etc. I always wonder why people do not really do it as Y'shua commanded: at the Passover? Maybe because our Catholic friends outlawed Passover in 325 CE at the Council of Nicea (where the Nicean Creed came from)? You know, "Christians" celebrate "Easter" and only "JOOOZ" celebrate the "old fashioned Passover". /sarcasm

As for me, I will be celebrating Passover next week, and remembering Him on the very date of His sacrifice. And giving Him thanks for the ultimate redemption. Baruch HaShem!

You couldn't be any more ignorant or uninformed.

Very interesting. Could you please expand upon why the Catholics or Protestants want to keep the Didache hidden? I would also like some clarity on the meaning of the eucharist.
