I specifically pointed out that there is absolutely no mention, nor command, nor teaching, nor example of Eucharistic adoration in the Scriptures.

How do you interpret the First Commandment?

Did not Jesus say “can you not spend one hour with me?”

As the same scriptures say, Jesus IS the “bread of life.”

" there is absolutely no... example of Eucharistic adoration in the Scriptures."

So what? It's an argument from silence --- an empty argument. Thousands of things we do all our lives that are good, holy and God-pleasing are not mentioned specifically in Scripture. For instance, there's no mention of anybody putting flowers on a grave, praying before a football game, asking God to bless the United States, or getting married in church. So?

People who make this argument-from-silence never subject their own practices to the same scrutiny. Do you sing anysongs other than Psalms and verbatim Biblical canticles? Do you use any instruments other than lyre and harp, reed-pipe, cymbals and tambourine?

Do you celebrate Christmas or Easter? I'll be you do. And I'll bet you don't celebrate the three pilgrimage festivals (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot) and the two High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur)--- no working on those days, either! --- or the 8 days of Hanukkah.

Did you give your wife a wedding ring? Un-Biblical!

The "argument from silence" means nothing. Who wrote the Books of Genesis and Exodus? No book of the Bible, in its text, indicted Moses as it author. None of the four Gospels were signed. Much of what you think you know about the Bible, you know from extra-Biblical sources. Including, significantly, which books are in the Bible!
