In think you are being fast and loose with Christ’s assertions.
He was emphatically harsh with !!!!TRADITIONS!!!! of man and with bureaurcratic hierarchical
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, GROUPS.
I suppose you could call the Lord’s Supper a tradition.
My reading of the NT is that Christ went out of His way to avoid all hint and trappings of
STRUCTURED, !!!!TRADITION!!!! BOUND, HIERARCHICAL, BUREAUCRATIC RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.
Paul wasn’t that thrilled with such either.
Yes. So am I. You see me castigate the thelogical charlatanism of Luther and Calvin every day, for that reason. It is a Biblical imperative.
