I think what you are doing is similar to how the Orthodox Christians and the Catholics are doing Communion. Did you ever took the time to look at how those churches have been teaching their followers about how to prepare for Eucharist because I found that you are missing the fasting part and learning to purify the body? If you forgot to do that, it might end up being a disservice for Christians.
The Orthodox and Catholic traditions have largely forgotten Passover and created their own days to celebrate (not based on Biblical precedent). I appreciate your Eastern commentary, yet my intention is always to go back to the roots of the faith (i.e. first-century and before) and not introduce the traditions of man that were added later.
To be clear, I've spent time with both Catholic and Orthodox authorities and have delved deep into their teachings and beliefs. The more I learn about the traditions of men, the more I want to throw them out and return to the ancient paths described in the Word. Blessings.
Then on what basis are you going for when it comes to the roots of the faith when all you have are the Protestant interpretation or even scholarly reformation of Pesach? What I am seeing here is just a reenactment from what I see from you as a human but there is no part on your end in being holy. If you reread the Eucharist and the liturgies and what you wrote here, you will see almost very little difference and what is more interesting is how the bread is not even holy bread to begin with but instead made from someone that is rushing to make it for profit. Real malka bread is made from the original bread of the Apostles mixed with the original holy blood of Christ and then incinerated into ash before remaking it for all the followers to eat. This is how I felt different as a Gentile after getting malka in the first place and no other churches except the Syriac and the Church of the East do this.
Another thing about you going deep into the Catholic and Orthodox authorities and you spending time learning from them while calling them the traditions of men. If you are truly the spiritual Christian you stated and have the eyes of God to see, you would have known that what you wrote is a grave mistake because you didn't even know that Eucharist is the Passover and they celebrate it every Sunday and yet you don't seem to notice. Their rites and liturgies are centering around learning to make holy what was mundane about the world. So this lead me to conclude that you either are blind and learned nothing about the authorities or that you have pride which prevents you from seeing, or both. How is that a Christian like you who have all the privilege to sit in mass with another Christian and even given the chance to take Eucharist and fast with them yet cannot see such gifts but a Buddhist Gentile like myself who just only walks in and spend time listening to Mass and yet I can sense God in their presence? Shame and embarassing. No wonder why Christ asked me to leave the Church and he sent me towards the Siddhas in India.
There was a time when I followed a voice disguised as "Jesus" that led me deep into the Buddhist faith, yet this voice is different from the One who is the Way.
And again, you don't seem to know the difference at all to begin with. You are listening with your intellect and I see a ton of emotional highs involved here till now. Nothing has changed

Andy, I simply follow Yeshua and His teachings.
There was a time when I followed a voice disguised as "Jesus" that led me deep into the Buddhist faith, yet this voice is different from the One who is the Way.

Thanks for your commentary, Andy.
