So do you have rivers of water flowing from your belly? Do you never get hungry or never get thirsty? Do you gauge out your eye if you have ever looked at anything with envy? Cut off your hand if you ever did anything wrong with it? Have you sold all you have and given it to the poor? Or are you simply a hypocrite?

You are well named. Read Matthew 5 again and see that Christ made manifest the purpose of the Law... and ushered in a change to each meaning. Your challenges show your ignorance of Christ, not mine.

Jesus was born under and had to abide by those laws or He would have been sinning. Matthew 5 only makes the Catholic case worse. In Matthew 5 Jesus was talking to the Jews who thought the law would save them. He was showing how utterly impossible it was to abide by the letter of the law. He came to “fulfil” he law. Not break the law. It would have been a sin to eat blood per His/God’s own words.
