No, I accept Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. I accept His whole Word, both in letter and (more importantly) in its Spirit. I also accept His grace, His gift of salvation, which can be received by nothing more or less than faith, even as Abraham accepted God's promises by faith in Gen. 15 (see Paul's entire discourse on Abraham in Romans).

What I reject are two thousand years of the traditions of men piled on by a hierarchy in Rome which annul the Word of God. Christ came to save us from the yoke of the world and the pharisees, not to create a new legalistic religion that can't show the grace to allow a young girl who can't digest wheat to have another grain instead.

So you accept Christ, but only on your terms, not His?

LOL. I agree, but give the pharisees some credit. They have always held exceptions from scriptural requirements where health was concerned. Yes, there is a gluten-free matzah available for Passover for celiacs.

I do take my communion during the Passover meal, yet the only requirement I see concerning the bread is the one not to take leaven when partaking of the Passover Lamb.
