“Again, it’s a tough fit for the relatively recent innovation of Evangelicalism, 1700 years is a big gap.”
The nation of Israel was missing for nearly 2000 years, but it still came back. Evangelistic Christianity has always been around whether you like it or not.
“But if you can make history fit this requirement, no doubt you can erase the Holy Eucharist as well. It takes a lot of effort, but if the motivation is there...”
It’s funny how all you rc’s centerpiece the “Holy Eucharist”, but yet you don’t even know what it’s about! Christianity’s centerpiece is the Cross, the Blood that Jesus shed upon it once and for all. The Last Supper Communion points to Christ’s Sacrifice upon that Cross which brought us the Glorious New Covenant. Forgiveness of sin doesn’t come by the Eucharist, but by the shedding of blood.
RC’s always want to use tradition as the excuse for not following the Bible, but yet Christianity is built around Jewish tradition NOT rcc tradition. You always say that RC came from Peter, but Peter was a Jew and the tradition was Jewish like it or not. The Jewish wedding tradition points to why and how Communion was commissioned by Christ. Sorry RC’s, but you didn’t invent the tradition of Communion nor do you understand it.
Thanks for your reply:

Denying the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist began in Protestantism with Zwingli 1500 years after Christ. Not a good teaching. St.Paul cautions against this error in First Corinthians.
You’re welcome to your innovative tradition. I’ll keep my Old Time Religion - in Holy Scripture and in the history of the Church.
