I won’t go again into all the verses that support the Catholic belief regarding the Eucharist. You are well aware of them and reject them.
That’s fine.
The prohibition against drinking blood is what made what Jesus said such a “hard saying” and made many walk away from him.

I find it amazing that you have gone from claiming that Jesus was a rebel and a loner to using His observant Jew status to reject what He said regarding the Eucharist.
St. Paul believed it as is evident from what he wrote about it, even going so far as to reiterate the words Jesus used at the Last Supper.
Did God really say we must eat his flesh and drink his blood and that his flesh is true food and his blood true drink?
Well, yes, He did.
Did God tell you to turn wine/water into blood??? Did God tell you how to turn wine/water into blood???
The magicians in Egypt under the authority of the Pharaoh turned water into blood...
Do your priests use the same power they used???
Would seem if God wanted you or anyone to turn water into blood, he'd have told you to do so, and would have told you how to do it...
What is the formula that Catholics use to turn water into blood??? Where did they and apparently only they get that information???
When God turned water into blood in the land of Egypt, it turned into real blood...The people could see that it was blood and they could not drink it...
Why would your wine not turn into physical, visible blood???
Most Catholics don't believe this stuff...Why would anyone believe it???
