Yeah I completely agree, but to say Mithraism was a gathering of neighbours over food at best is actually quite laughable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mocking you here, but I'm seriously wondering to myself if you're genuinely being serious with your view about Mithraism and their holy communion.
Because they served different purposes. It was not a holy communion, but more as a form of initiation....think stereotypical Iron Age Germanic paganism.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
