Because “Artos” can mean EITHER leavened OR unleavened bread.,No where does it say that Jesus told them to use leavened OR unleavened. And you never addressed when the apostles who were eating the bread they were eating though Judas was going out to buy what was needed for the Passover Day 3 days later.
Do you believe the apostles wrote the NT gospels? Then why did they say ARTOS and not AZUMOS?
The fact that YOU deny that Jesus and the Apostles used unleavened bread for the Passover speaks VOLUMES about your ignorance. Leavened bread is FORBIDDEN at the Passover and the following 7 days of the Feast of UNleavevd Bread.I don't know what Strong's concordance you're using, but it doesn't agree with any Strong's I've checked. Nor does it agree with the #2 selling Young's Concordance. Which also agrees with Strong's.
Young's Exhaustive Concordance (and the associated Strong’s Greek Lexicon, #740) defines the Greek word
artos (ἄρτος) as "bread (as raised) or a loaf". Derived from the Greek verb airo (meaning to take or raise), it represents bread made from flour mixed with water and baked, often appearing in contexts such as loaves, bread, or showbread. From
E-Sword X online bible. G740 (Strong)
ἄρτος
artos
ar'-tos
From G142; bread (as raised) or a loaf: - (shew-) bread, loaf.
Total KJV occurrences: 99
They were ALL faithful Jews who observed the Law.
YOUR problem is that you continue to argue points about which you are ignorant. You have NO idea what you are talking about.Again you misread; I never said Rome was apostate because of how they did communion with raised bread from 800-1,200 years. It was then that they finally abolished it from the whole Latin church.
For starters – the use of unleavened bread for the Eucharist in the Catholic Church is a matter of discipline – NOT dogma. It was the Council of Florence (1431 to 1445) that affirmed that the Body of Christ can be effected from either leavened OR unleavened wheat bread. In other words – leavened bread is NOT forbidden. Unleavened bread is simply the norm.
In any case – this would NOT constitute “apostasy”.
Again - if you don’t want to go “off-topic” – then DON’T open up a can of worms that is off-topic . . .It does in that it is OFF TOPIC, and yes when I went back, that's when I discovered it was off topic because of me. And that's why I said we should end it then. And I still say it should end now with this post for the same reason. Keep your opinion and I'll keep mine.
