Jesus just instituted a bunch of new symbols to replace the old ones, huh? What a waste of his time! Guess the author of Hebrews didn't get the memo.

That's the (gnosticism alert!) "special knowledge" that's hidden from the "unsaved" who don't have the magic Protestant glasses to see that Jesus says one thing and means another.

Unfortunately for you, nobody else had those Protestant glasses for the first 800 years of Christian history, including men who learned their Christianity at the feet of the apostles. Was Ignatius of Antioch, who learned the Gospel from Peter and Paul, and who wrote, as he traveled to his martyrdom, that we ought not to even speak of heretics who deny that the Eucharist is the flesh of Christ which was crucified for us ... was he among the "unsaved"?

Special Protestant glasses!!!!

Why not? I’m waiting to get my secret Protestant Holy Spirit decoder ring and if I’m really really good, a newly appointed angel will visit me in the wee hours and let me know where the next batch of Scripture lies underground.
