Wrong. Judaism before Christ believed in the prophecy of the messiah Christ. It's the same religion.

Judaism in the old testament and Christianity are the same. Everything in the old testament is a prophecy of the coming messiah, especially the story you are referencing.
Now, between Moses and the crowd, who represents Christ and who represents you? On every page of the old testament there is the symbology and prophecy of Christ.

I see your arguments convincing for why Christians might not celebrate a jewish passover ritual, but this was not what I was suggesting. The lord's supper was the passover explained, and it was taken on passover. We call it communion. Why would you avoid taking communion on the calendar day that it was first taken? Is it just to be extra careful that you don't don't blend with Judaism?
I know that you are vocally against dispensationalism, but it seems kind of dispensationalist of you to make the clear distinction between what was supposed to be practiced before Christ and after Christ. Isn't that the difference between what dispensationalists call the "Prophetic age" and the "Church age"?
Referencing WCF as an authoritative text is a reach. It was written by men. But thanks for all the other verses.

There are VPS services that don't require identity and accept bitcoin. Their are agent APIs that don't require identity and accept bitcoin.

Maybe lawyers would say AWS is the owning party, but AWS isn't going to buy it stuff or subsidize its bill, and AWS isn't going to accept bitcoin anyway. An autonomous agent wouldn't survive on a platform that doesn't accept bitcoin as payment.
