>>He, as God, could do as He wills.<<

Your argument is mute. Jesus as a man was born under and subject to the law. Furthermore, Jesus would have been sinning if He caused the apostles to break the law by eating blood as they were also subject to the law and they most certainly were not God. If that would have been real blood as Catholics claim, Jesus would have been sinning.

>>Also, the Old Testament dietary regulations passed away, for “These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.<<

At the last supper Jesus had not yet died and arisen. Both Jesus the man and the apostles were still under the Old Testament laws.

>>These pastoral provisions were only temporary.<<

Again, mute even if so. Jesus and the apostles were all still under the Old Testament laws at the last supper.

Bottom line. If Jesus and the apostles had actually eaten real blood they would have been sinning.

“Your argument is mute.”

All written arguments are mute, but yours is moot. Government school fail - again.
