“It’s in Scripture. Why isn’t that enough for you?”

There are lots of things reported in Scripture that are not meant to apply directly to believers. Nowhere is this identified as something that was to happen more than once, or that it would apply to believers other than those Christ sent out that one time.

Contrast this with the Lord’s Last Supper, which He commands us to do in memory of Him until He returns. We also have the clear example of the NT Church following this command and Paul’s instructions of how to do it and how to prevent abuse as it’s carried out.

This is why every Christian is exhorted to study and rightly divide the word of truth, to love God with their whole mind...

WHY ISN’T THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, SINCE IT IS COMMANDED??

Judas went out and hanged himself. It’s in scripture too! It is fortunately, not a command for believers, not a part of worship, not an example to follow, etc.

Galatians 5:12?

This phase is the twitching tail of a salamander who is now making his escape without it.
