Why do you hang onto the remnants of the Old that are superseded by Jesus Christ?

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...

...just as he wants us to eat His flesh...

Yet hundreds of millions of protestants refuse His command on that score by rejecting Holy Eucharist.

***Why do you hang onto the remnants of the Old that are superseded by Jesus Christ?

Really. So the verses in Matt 16 consist of Jesus lying? And the verses in Acts 2 are falsehood?

***Jesus clearly puts great stock in His written word***

What did Jesus write? Chapter and verse, please.

***Look how many times in the NT Jesus said, ‘It is written’, or Have you not read, etc***

Sure in prophecy related to Him.

***Never once did Jesus say, turn to your tradition...***

He created new traditions related to the Church. His overriding authority left behind is the Church. Paul says that the Church is the foundation and pillar of truth.

***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...***

Jesus left behind no 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...***

Judging by your posts, you are missing a whole bunch of Scripture including much of the Gospels as well as Titus.
