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.

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)
I 100% agree with this statement I'm glad we were able to talk and understand each other. At least I hope we understand each other. I'm somewhat mentally disabled so trying to get my point across clearly it's a little hard for me.
It could be that their teachings were rooted in greed for them. like if the root system is rotten and the tree will be rotten no matter the type of good teaching it is
Well if the root is rotten, so too will be the fruit.
Call yourself mentally disabled if you want, but I would have never guessed that.
