“That’s because I never said that. The Holy Spirit and the apostles did however in Acts 15 say to not eat blood.”

That was to gentiles in Jewish company. So, your point is meaningless.

“Your own church says He was. Found here.”

No, actually it only says He was a subject of the law as a man. Note, I said GOD. Jesus was not bound to the law in His divinity. He preceded the Law and will outlast it as well. He is not bound by it.

“Including blood you say? Please show that blood was EVER considered food to Jesus or the Israelites. Jesus was still under the law. That included eating blood.”

If it was prohibited as food, then it was considered a food.

“Would you claim that the Holy Spirit was contradicting something Jesus said?”

No, just contradicting you.

“Now, why do you insist on teaching that Jesus sinned against the law He was born under and committed to keep?”

I did no such thing. Jesus is GOD. He is not bound by the Mosaic Laws on kosher diet and neither are we. The New Covenant is IN HIS BLOOD.

Oh good grief. Yeah, that's why they included it in scripture for all generations everywhere.

>>No, actually it only says He was a subject of the law as a man. Note, I said GOD.<<

Ok!!!! Here we have it folks. A Catholic claiming the separation of Jesus into man and God as two separate entities. One was subject to the law the other wasn't.<<

>>If it was prohibited as food, then it was considered a food.<<

Show where it was ever called food.

>>I did no such thing. Jesus is GOD. He is not bound by the Mosaic Laws on kosher<<

Whoa, wait...You just said Jesus the man was subject to the laws. Are you now saying that only Jesus the God ate the blood at the last supper but not Jesus the man?

In the church there is neither Jew nor Greek. All are one in Christ.

Besides, the Jews already knew enough not to eat blood.

No, actually it only says He was a subject of the law as a man. Note, I said GOD. Jesus was not bound to the law in His divinity. He preceded the Law and will outlast it as well. He is not bound by it.

What a tragic lack of comprehension of the relation of God to His law you have just demonstrated.

God tells us to be holy as He is holy. The Law is the reflection of that holiness.

Since God commanded people to not eat blood, that is a reflection of His holiness. Jesus as God could not eat blood. He would be contradicting Himself.
