I don't recall any injunction that specifies that wine must be red. Likewise, I do not recall an injunction that specifies that the bread must be unleavened. To add to what God has set forth in regard to the Lord's Table on the basis of speculation is to profane it... yes? Methinks that one can see a similar example in regard to the 4th Commandment regarding the Sabbath. God specifically commanded that man work six days but on the seventh day, he was to cease from his labors and worship Him. That the OT saints observed the Sabbath on Saturday according to their calendar cannot be taken as perpetually binding since the fulfillment (partial) of the Jewish Sabbath was to be found in the resurrection of Christ; the first day of the week vs. the last day of the week. The change to the first day was not fabricated but rather understood by the NT Church from Scripture. Likewise, the Lord's Supper transcended the OT practice due to the fulfillment of Christ's redemptive work.

All that to simply say, that what God has written should and must be sufficient in and of itself and not reduced or extended beyond what is written by the imaginations of men. (Rev. 22:18,19) as applied to the entire Bible. Those words, at least to me personally, make me shudder and practice extreme caution when interpreting Scripture. But it seems that the word "caution" has gone the way of "reverence" and "awe" in regard to both the use of Scripture and particularly worship in our day.
