***You carefully avoid the scripture with the cited metaphor.***
I avoid nothing.
The passage in Ezekiel is for his to ingest the prophesies that he will bring to Israel.
The Eucharist is for all men who will accept Jesus Christ.
You see? Exclusive versus inclusive. Priesthood/Prophet versus all men.
***Clearly the scroll is the Word of G-d to be ingested and then preached. ***
This is what happens when someone spurns the Church of Jesus in favour of a silly hybrid that makes no sense whatsoever since it was rather pointedly proscribed in the NT. Why do you hang onto the remnants of the Old that are superseded by Jesus Christ?
A Christian cannot pick and choose. Either he follows the commands of Christ including instructions as to the Church or he does not. Christians cannot be of the cafeteria variety.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the OT...Jesus does not supercede the OT...And just as Jesus has not yet returned, there are many things in the OT that have NOT been fulfilled yet...Those things apparently have been hidden from your church...
Jesus clearly puts great stock in His written word...Look how many times in the NT Jesus said, 'It is written', or Have you not read, etc...Never once did Jesus say, turn to your tradition...
Jesus wants us to absorb his written words...He wants us to put His written words in our hearts...He wants us to memorize His words...He wants us to preach His WORDS...
Eat,sleep and breath His words...He wants us to eat his words, just as he wants us to eat His flesh...And if you don't know that, you are missing a lot of scripture...
True believers pick and choose frequently. After we learn new Bible doctrine we are frequently tested to see if we remain in fellowship with Him by choosing and acting upon doctrine in our hearts, not merely our reason. There are deceivers who attempt to call their religious country clubs, 'The Church', demanding obedience to that counterfeit group acting independently of faith in Christ. The true believer picks and chooses what he discerns to be from God through faith in Christ.
The complete canon of Scripture is sufficient for every good work, not requiring extrabiblical tradition to perform good works.
Those who fail to pick and choose are still accountable for their cowardice and nonchalance, ignoring faith through Christ in favor of cultic assemblies and obedience to systems of idolatry.
