I agree. To build a theology around idle speculation is rather dangerous.
1 Timothy 1:3-4 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.
**Does The Glorified Body of Christ Have Blood?**
YES!
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
. In 1 Corinthians 15:50, St. Paul says that “I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” Taken literally, this passage poses serious problems to any orthodox Christians.
Poor translation. The word translated “perishable” here is better translated “corruption,” ......
I do not believe there is anything wrong with the translation,
Paul was speaking in normal circumstances, Jesus did it as a witness.
What do you think “apostolic” means?
No, the author is merely trying to trace the historical origins of this strange doctrine.
He means no blood in His body after the Resurrection, but not after the Ascension.
The way I understand it, is a specific laying on of hands come down through the ages since the time the Apostles walked with Jesus.
In general I believe this to be true, but since no one alive today can have the same Apostolic position as those who saw Christ in the flesh, (we are those who “have not seen, and yet believed”)
... so I don’t believe Apostolic succession to mean that the same position that the the original Apostles held (and hold in heaven today) can be passed on to any modern believer, even by the laying on of hands.
Els, I am not into Mormonism. I think it is a false religion.
Oops, I meant to say that the author here is evidencing that Jesus did have blood in His flesh and bones body after the Resurrection and up through the Ascension.
... but having survived the puerile hatred for opposing this idiocy on FR for the last few days, this doctrine of a bloodless, resurrected “Frankenjesus” needed to be defanged by someone more articulate than myself.
Try “decayed” or “biodegradable.”
If Jesus’ resurrected body has blood, what is the purpose of it? Seriously.
He ate something in front of the apostles. Food for the blood, right.
Was the food natural food, protein or carbohydrates or polysaccharides?
Thousands of words to come up with some kind of additional ‘belief’ to get all atwitter about.
If the food was for the blood, please tell me how the nutrients were formed that could get into the blood.
(Note that I already have a pretty good idea of how this happens in the usual human or animal body.)
THE BLOOD SACRIFICE WAS OVER WITH JESUS, AS THE PASSOVER LAMB... NO BLOOD NEEDED IN HEREAFTER:
John 4:20-24 20Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21”Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

I'm sure he'll tell us.
Right teppe?
Not quite in Mormonism; right teppe?
There is the Blood Atonement thing that states a sinners OWN blood must be shed; that Christ's doesn't quite have enough power (or something).
Do I have that about right; teppe?
