I suppose you would never consider the FACT that the God who commanded “drink my blood” is the same God who gave those dietary laws to Israel?

That He was doing a new thing?

Jesus couldn't change any law until it had been fulfilled.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

To fulfil the law of the sacrifice the blood had to be sprinkled on the altar and the rest spilled on the ground and not eaten.

Even garments that had been splattered with blood were to be washed before they left the sanctuary.

Leviticus 6:27 ...and if any of the blood is spattered on a garment, you must wash it in the sanctuary area.

No blood was EVER to be eaten.

Jesus came to fulfill the law as stated by Himself.

He could not have done that if HE BROKE it as He was still under the Law at the time of the Last Supper.

So which blood is it in the supposedly bloodless sacrifice that Catholics are participating in that they are drinking?

His blood from when He walked the earth, that was poured out for all mankind’s sins and is gone now?

Of the blood of His new and resurrected body?
