It is something created by men in place of something found in Scripture.<BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it's not a commandment from God. It's a tradition, much like Jews have a tradition of wearing yarmulkes (a tradition not found in Scripture), Muslims fast during Ramadan (another tradition not found in Scripture), and so on.Judah Gabriel Himangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277699587853707632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-38942435447704727892007-04-06T09:39:00.000-05:002007-04-06T09:39:00.000-05:00How is communion a man-made ritual?How is communion a man-made ritual?JasonHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944368448232887923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-77059276045833442272007-04-04T17:54:00.000-05:002007-04-04T17:54:00.000-05:00Hi Patrick, thanks for stopping by and posting."To...Hi Patrick, thanks for stopping by and posting.<BR/><BR/><I>"To begin what do you mean by "Jesus-approved®"?"</I><BR/><BR/>Just having a little fun. :-) All the while saying, Passover is something Jesus approved in his own celebration of the festival, and in his telling his disciples to celebrate it.<BR/><BR/><I>"Again it seems that it is very important to you that everyone celebrate as the Jews did in Jesus' time"</I><BR/><BR/>What's important to me is doing as Jesus did. We don't <I>have</I> to celebrate 1st century style. :-)<BR/><BR/><I>"What about Galaitans 5:1-6?"</I><BR/><BR/>In good Jewish fashion, :-) let me answer with a question: what about Matthew 5:17-20? Then, read <A HREF="http://www.m7000.com/Avi/Galatians.htm" REL="nofollow">Galatians - by Avi Ben Mordechai</A> (or <A HREF="http://www.israelnet.tv/radio/html/avi/avi.html" REL="nofollow">listen to the audio book online free</A>) for an answer.<BR/><BR/><I>"The Law does not justify, it does not sanctify, it does not save."</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, yes, and yes. I'd follow up by saying faith alone does not justify (James says faith w/o works is dead, Paul says without Abraham's physical sacrificing of Isaac, his faith was also useless). I'd also add that faith cannot tell us what's right and wrong -- that's what the Law is for, as <A HREF="http://epistlesofpaul.blogspot.com/2006/03/legitimate-torah.html" REL="nofollow">Paul puts it</A>.<BR/><BR/><I>"I do not find warnings in the Bible that a lack of ritual will leave you in a poor state with God"</I><BR/><BR/>We agree again. I'd say God's commandments are more than ritual. Further, there are warnings in the Bible that a lack of following God's commandments will leave you in a poor state.<BR/><BR/><I>"but there are many warnings (old testament and new), that empty ritual will hurt your relationship with God."</I><BR/><BR/>I heartily agree! That's why I'm trying to get away from dead, man-made rituals like communion, and into God-enacted commandments like Passover.<BR/><BR/><I>"I have several times in my life, but I am reluctant to making it a yearly event."</I><BR/><BR/>That's cool, let God lead you into his commandments. I've no problem with that.<BR/><BR/>Take care, Patrick.Judah Gabriel Himangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277699587853707632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836835.post-31548453218524724512007-04-04T16:58:00.000-05:002007-04-04T16:58:00.000-05:00To begin what do you mean by "Jesus-approved®"?At ...To begin what do you mean by "Jesus-approved®"?<BR/><BR/>At too Jesus meaning the passover, of course he did. Again it seems that it is very important to you that everyone celebrate as the Jews did in Jesus' time. What about Galaitans 5:1-6? The Law does not justify, it does not sanctify, it does not save. There are many other quotes I could list, but I like the fact that we are told that choosing to become circumcised will make Jesus mean nothing to us. I do not find warnings in the Bible that a lack of ritual will leave you in a poor state with God, but there are many warnings (old testament and new), that empty ritual will hurt your relationship with God. <BR/>If God has put it on your heart to celebrate the passover then do so. I have several times in my life, but I am reluctant to making it a yearly event. Perhaps this is my own limitation, but I see from God's writtings that this is a limitation shared with a number of others.<BR/><BR/>Pat OPatrick O'Harahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171202402933103779noreply@blogger.com
