“Jesus’ glorified body has no blood.”

In the Gospel of St. John are descriptions of Christ’s wounds - perhaps they are healed, but He has a real body and therefore real blood.

John 19:20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

That Jesus Christ the Risen Lord has a real body and (and therefore real blood) is also testified to by St. Luke in chapter 24: “37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43And he took it, and did eat before them.”

Not only does Christ eat, He, bluntly tells them that He has a real, but glorified human body, saying: “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”

Note, my dear neo-arian friends who may be reading this (not you, presently no screen name), this does not negate that Jesus Christ is truly God.

What you have done by your THEREFORE'S is inserting your OWN human reasoning. And, also, inserting it, again, with your testified to by Luke. Where did he testify that Jesus had blood in His glorified body? No where.

“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”

Jesus said he had flesh and bones - you inserted your own reasoning, again, assuming He had blood. Did Jesus mention anything about blood? NO! You posted His Words - skin and bones and added your 'therefore'. Read ONLY what He says - He means what HE says.

Did you think I don't know Scripture; therefore, I don't know Jesus ate? Again, you assume and insert your own words - therefore He had blood. Do you see what your own reasoning does? Do you not know when Jesus says, "Trust in The Lord and lean not unto your own understanding......" HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS? HEAR and OBEY His Word.

this does not negate that Jesus Christ is truly God.

NOTHING CAN NEGATE JESUS is GOD - and what snobbery to even suggest ANYTHING could! Man is way too high and mighty for their own good. So much for humility - other command not taken seriously.

Don't add or take anything away from HIS Word. Add means your "therefore's" and deliberately saying something was 'testified to' when it WAS NOT. He had a glorified body after His Resurrection, not a human body. A human body/mortal body needs blood.
