Matthew 26:29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”Believe it or not in reference to those verses, I had one Catholic who thought Jesus would be drinking His own Blood with us in Heaven!Mark 14:25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
Luke 22:18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
Funny, RC's are free to privately interpret the scriptures, just as long as their interpretation is not against the several verses the magesterium has infallibly defined, but Jesus, drinking His own blood was probably not what the Gospel writers intended.
Oh, I believe it. Absolutely.
They don't realize that if Jesus had drunk blood, it would have made Him unclean, rendering Him incapable of being the perfect sinless sacrifice fulfilling the righteous requirements of the Law.
Likewise, if He had demanded that the twelve break the Law during the Last Supper.
Not to mention that Peter told God three times during the vision on the roof episode in Acts that he had never eaten anything unclean. Either Peter never did, or he lied to God.
Obviously Peter understood the requirements of the Law and would not have drank if he thought Jesus meant it was actual blood considering his continual tendency to wimp out when around Jews as far as following the Law.
Claiming that the cup was really Jesus' blood fails on so many levels, and yet no matter what the evidence provided from Scripture, Catholics will deny it and back their church with their dying breath.
