Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us
The Jews were commanded to eat the Passover Lamb. How then could eating the Passover Lamb be against the law?
When we eat Christ we fulfill the Mosaic Law.
Indeed, we fulfill it more than even Solomon or David - or Moses! - ever had a chance to during their lifetimes. We do not break it, and Christ is not asking us to.
Galatians 3:10 (ASV)
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.
Within the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, this would translate to Christ being a sheep. Literally an ovine. Gonna go there?
Christ fulfilled the law, not us. To say otherwise is to claim that we can save ourselves.
Leviticus 3:17 'It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.' That wording is PERPETUAL STATUTE. As far as we know, Jesus IS in the generations of those descended from Abraham, so this statute is upon Him also.Leviticus 7:26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
Leviticus 17:10 'I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people.
In the first great church council the issue of drinking blood was specifically addressed, and we know this refers to the Laws of Moses because James states: Acts 15:21 "For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
Acts 15:20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 "For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
