Bloodless?

Nobody knows exactly how the glorified, resurrected body operates (like, after His resurrection, Jesus ate fish. But did He digest it?) but since he appears in John's Revelation, as a Lamb upon the throne, "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world," I'm assuming He can take any shape He wants and be in any time He wants. And since He walked through locked doors, I'm assuming he has what the philosophers call "subtlety." which means the ability to pass through things.

Completely transcending the laws of physics and biology and chemistry, outside of the bounds of space and time, yet ever-present in an eternity where all time is Now.

"And God will be all in all."

Even as man, He made blood all His life, just as we do, even from the time He was an embryo. So I'm thinking if He were bled dry, koshered, if He wanted to have blood, he could have made more blood. That would be easy-peasy. He could look like a Lamb if He wanted to. He could look like the Sun if he wanted to. Myself, personally, I don't assume He wanted to look like a corpse.

Do Catholic apologists really want to tout pagan idol worship methodology as the heart of Catholic dogma? The pagan practices of the Corinthian religions, prior to Paul converting some of them, was done in the near exact same fashion as the catholic Mass. The priest of the pagan religion would offer up food as a sacrifice to the idol-god, then offer it to the adherents to eat telling them they were ingesting the life of the idol-god with this now 'consecrated food sacrificed to idols.

The first great church council seen in Acts 15 addressed this pagan foolery directly, contrasting it with the Laws of Moses as seen in Leviticus. Lev 3:17 says to not consume the blood of the creature because the life of the creature is in the blood. The letter James authorized also said not to eat the food sacrificed to idols because that too was a pagan cannibalistic form of worship.

The letter from James to the newborns from above specified the very things to be avoided, yet Catholics have incorporated these very pagan practices as their Mass! This blasphemy is so blatant and yet the blind see it not because they have not the spiritual eyes to see nor the spiritual ears to hear The Truth of what The Word of God declares.

God's Spirit will not always strive with man/woman. He has a limit to His patience with those who insist on pagan idolatry.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God nor does the perishable inherit the perishable.

The Body that the risen and glorifed Jesus has is NOT a human body as we understand it.

The body of flesh and blood cannot walk through walls nor can it disappear or rise into heaven and survive.

The argument that, Well, God can do anything He wants so we can presume He did, is one of the most desperate grasping at straws that I’ve seen.

Jesus blood was poured out for our sin. The CCC states that the sacrifice of the mass is a bloodless sacrifice, which makes it in effect, totally useless.

And yet Catholics will go through amazing mental gymnastics to rationalize how there could be blood for them to drink, when His blood is gone, and why they can eat it when it’s been forbidden as a perpetual decree to be eaten anyway.

Such desperation in trying to rationalize a cherished belief rather than examinging it in light of Scripture to see if it’s correct or not, is a sign of spiritual deception.

Bloodless?

"As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and
as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption" (1Co 15:48-50 AV, my emphasis).

Tell me, what is your problem?
