Luke 22:14-20 14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles. 15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." 17 He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves, 18 for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes." 19 He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me." 20 Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
Since your religion does not teach you the entire Bible, it is unlikely that you would comprehend the meaning in bold type above. When any animal was slaughtered, the blood is to be poured out upon the ground, never, never ever for drinking.
The Old Testament, which is the Bible Jesus taught from, has clear instructions on handling the blood of the sacrifice. It is not to be drunk because the life is in the Blood. The blood of the Passover lamb was applied to the door posts and lintel for the Passover remembrance. Then, in the Atonement Sacrifice, the sacrifice lamb's blood is to be applied to the Mercy Seat, to cover the sins against the law.
This process was repeated each year by the High Priest of the Tribes of Isral. BUT, Jesus as our great High Priest has entered the Holy Holies with His Blood, the most sacred of all blood, and He has spread His blood upon the Mercy Seat to cover the law of sin and death, FOR YOU AND ME.
The blood is not for drinking, ever! God does not contradict Himself even when speaking thousands of years before an event. The Life is in The Blood. You shall not drink blood, for the life is in the blood.
The Life of Jesus was poured out for you and me on the Cross and Jesus, our Great High Priest, enter the once into the Holy of Holies, and spread His perfected Blood upon the Mercy Seat, to cover the laws of sin and death so that His Spirit, God's Holy Spirit, may enter into your spirit as the earnest of an inheritance, God's LIFE IN YOU and ME, by the blood of Jesus upon the Mercy Seat, not in your belly.
What your religion is insisting you do is substitute the sacrilege of drinking blood, for the Sacred of Christ's blood upon the Mercy Seat. The God of Salvation does not contradict Himself. Do not think you can drink the literal blood of Jesus, in contradiction to what God has commanded to not do. That is sacrilege. And in this case sacrilege against the Most vital Grace Has given to humankind, the process of having God's Life in you. You cannot get God's Life in you through the throat and belly, for as Jesus said, what goes into the mouth comes out in the drought.
My Religion Tennessee? And what, pray tell is my religion? And what did I say to get such a lecture on the bread and the cup? Perhaps you have been to Colorado recently?
