It makes sense to me because Jesus said his body is bread and his blood is wine. So we should make homemade bread on honor of his body that was risen on Easter day in celebration of him. Also drink wine with the bread.

Yes, I'm aware of the feast of unleavened bread, I'm just saying leaven isn't sin while acknowledging that is what is commonly taught
No it is an archetype of sin, in certain types of seasons. There's nothing wrong with yeast or leaven and in certain cases it's okay but like a play it takes on a "character" in certain feasts or celebrations. if that makes any sense {for and against}
It plays the same "character" in all the scenarios, because the symbolism doesn't change... The "changing" is just experts trying to justify their failed interpretation.
In Mark’s gospel, Jesus uses yeast in a negative way, and warns the people about “the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod” (Mark 8:15) Jesus’ disciples mistakenly thought he was speaking of literal yeast, as if the Pharisees and Herod had opened a bakery! (Mark 8:16) Instead, he was using the metaphor of yeast for greed, harmful teachings, anything that could spread through society with ill effects.
Yeah, same story that I referenced with the 2nd Matthew verse I posted (16:12) in my first comment.
He doesn't use yeast in a negative way, but it was in a negative context (apologies if that seems pedantic)
Jesus did not say 'beware of all yeast,' he said 'beware of the yeast of the pharisees.'
I'm unsure if Mark literally says it's teachings or greed, but Matthew specifically says it's teachings and I would agree that their greed would be part of that.
So all I'm saying is that yeast/leaven is a more broad symbol that can encompass sin (teachings/spirit)
