But as you can see they “broke bread” daily. Not just on the first day of the week. They were simply eating.
I think it's a matter of interpretation whether breaking bread refers just to eating or to what we call communion.


My opinion, there's a bit more evidence that it refers to communion.


One example

Matthew 26: 26. As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."


He took bread, and broke it. He broke bread.


Yes, the book of Acts talks about the apostles breaking bread daily. That's why those groups which trace an unbroken practice back to the time of the apostles (I'm thinking here of Catholic and Orthodox churches) celebrate communion daily.


My impression from the New testament is that the early Church gentiles tended to meet on the first day of the week for communion, worship, fellowship.

That is to say, those who walk by the spirit are not *under* the law.
That wouldnt make sense

ROMANS 7 [14] For we know that the LAW IS SPIRITUAL: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Galatians 5: 18. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.


And yes, the law is spiritual!


So those who walk by the spirit are pursuing the goal of the law!
