It shocks some Catholics when I mention that my wife and I sometimes take communion after a meal at home.

Is this a foundational teaching--doctrine--of His command(s), one of His principal Ordinances?

With all due respect, in what sense is this an authorized meeting of the totality in a locality of all the regenerated individual disciple-believers summoned together--assembled, congregated--for the teaching and watchfully preserving without change whatsoever He has commanded?

Is this an observance conducted in His Name (that is, commanded and authorized by Him)? Should others imitate it also?

Regarding the latter, the phrase “principal ordinances” is subjective. i.e. it depends on what you mean by that. Regarding the former, yes (Matthew 26: 26-27)

I’m not understanding what you are talking about. I’m talking about taking communion. And here is the big part of it to me:

The old testament is about God’s relationship with a nation called Israel. The new testament is about Jesus relationship with me, personally.
