The “total” failure of his people to recognize Him? Were the Apostles, the many holy women, the many other disciples not Jews? Jesus celebrated the Pasch with his disciples—a liturgical act. And he told them to continue doing what he was doing with them that night.
You are flirting with Marcionism.
Of course! The Protestant heresies is a precursor to Modernism -- a synthesis of all heresies.
Yeah, I didn’t expect you to understand that one. Jesus death and resurrection did away with all the structure of priests etc of the Old Testament. He excoriated the “tradition” because it became something it was never to be. They had replaced God’s commands with “tradition” just as the RCC has. The importance of relying on “it is written” is clear from not only his words but the apostles as well as I illustrated with Paul’s words to the Bereans.
