Scripture is more than clear on the prohibition of eating blood. IF the church were correct about that, then it would be insanity to leave but if they're not correct, then what they're teaching is heresy itself.

Passover was done in REMEMBRANCE of the first and actual Passover, it wasn't a re-enactment of it. In the Passover ceremony, the cup they drank was wine, not blood. The blood was NOT to be eaten.

As observant Jews, the disciples would not have drank the cup of the new covenant at what we call the Last Supper if they really thought it was actual blood. It would have made them ceremonially unclean for the observance of the Passover. And it would have been impossible for Jesus to break His own commandments against eating blood and demand that His disciples do it knowing it would cause them to sin.

You know, in all the years of reading and sometimes participating in these discussions, I have not seen this proof before of how the wine can NOT be changed into the blood. Very good. I am sure it falls on deaf ears though.
