“Communion” is an invention of men, and nowheres to be found in the Word of Yehova.

So let them do with it what they will.

Yeshua’s “Last Supper” was not “Communion,” it was a traditional Hebrew daily meal. Wine and a barley loaf.

Yeshua’s commandment to his disciples was that each time that they consume such a meal, they do so in remembrance of him. He didn’t say to do it at any special time or place, and he commanded no ‘priest’ to speak any incantation.

The books of the New Testament did not record, verbatim, everything that Christ ever said. Some things were so obvious no one would have thought them worth mentioning. The Mass, handed down as a tradition given to us by the 12 disciples and the other contemporary disciples, family and followers of Jesus, was such an example.

In fact, the celebration of the Eucharist was documented by St. Paul before any of the books of the Gospel were compiled.
