“Catholics just don’t get it. It’s not Jesus flesh that saves. It’s His shed blood. “The flesh prophiteth nothing”.”

You can’t have one (blood) without the other (flesh). Jesus gave both on the Cross. He still gives both in the Eucharist.

And don’t ever trust your spelling. It’s “profiteth” not “prophiteth”. You’ve made this mistake before: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3219971/replies?c=41

If He gave both on the cross, then there is no FLESH AND BLOOD left to give any more.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

The body Jesus has now is not a flesh and blood human body, the kind that is designed to live on earth, because that body cannot handle any environment outside of a narrow range of conditions even here on earth.

His blood was shed (past tense), poured out (past tense) for many, and is gone.

Whatever blood Catholics think they're drinking, it isn't Jesus'.

Deuteronomy 15:23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.

Jesus shed blood was poured out on the ground.

Leviticus 17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

Serious stuff that.

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Still in affect and that was after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Any reasonable reading tells us that if the apostles thought the were actually eating Jesus blood it would have been stated at that point.
