God didn't say "unless you sanctify them".
>>Under the old covenant. Jesus instituted the new covenant with the Last Supper, not only allowing but requiring that we eat his flesh and drink his blood 'indeed'.<<
The old law could not be changed until after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The old law was in force until the veil was rent.
>>They 'sleep' because they do not discern the body of the lord when they eat,<<
So no Catholics die (sleep)?
Catholics twist and turn and change the words of scripture in an attempt to align with the pagan cult teachings of the Catholic Church. They fear relying on the teachings of the apostles alone as seen by their vitriolic hatred of Sola Scripura. It doesn't make sense. They then call themselves Christian! They don't follow Christ. They follow a church.
But God did command the building of temples and use of lamps, etc. So you are claiming that using methods of worship that God commanded are sinful because pagans also used them to worship their false gods. What about prayer? Pagans prayed to their false gods, does that mean we are not allowed to pray to our True God?
Where in the bible does it say when the covenant ended? The most logical time for it to have ended is when Jesus said it ended, when he declared His body and blood as a sign of the new testament. Even if you don’t believe the bread became flesh and the wine blood, that is still the beginning of the new covenant. Jesus declared it, and the apostles ate and drank as a symbol of their acceptance and participation in it.
Do those saved by accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior die?
