Not when its Jesus’ blood and He commands us to have it.

Someone opens their Bible, reads what the LORD said and assumes it is to them directly.

You guys ain't Apostles; why do want to do what Jesus told THEM to do?

Well in this case it wouldn’t matter. He isn’t asking anything more of the apostles here.

You wrote in one post:

“No; He gave it to the APOSTLES. It’s plain to read: “Unless YOU...”

In another you wrote:

Jesus actually said “Do this in memory of me” - which means He expected them to continue it after His time with them was over.

And Paul’s 1st Letter to the Corinthians (chapter 11) shows that the practice of the Eucharist was passed down to new Christians. Paul was NOT at the Last Supper. Yet he passed on what he learned from the Lord about it.

1 Cor 11:20, 26 makes it plan it was to continue.
