“P.S. Jesus’ blood was shed on the Cross, but to deny that He again had blood running through His veins after the Resurrection is an anti-Christ position.“
This is simply an assertion you are making, without evidence. Do you have any?
Beyond this, do you believe Christ today, in His glorified body, has blood? If so, why is this important and what do you base it on?
I forgot to ping you: see post 754 https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3665509/posts?page=754#754
One more time, Jesus after the Resurrection was not a ghost or a Spirit or in a glorified body.
You are arguing with Christ Himself, not me, if you believe this heresy.
Not sure how many times one can quote John or Jesus without getting through to people that call themselves Christians?
It’s not very difficult. Jesus was crucified and died in as a MAN. In the flesh.
He was similarly resurrected as a MAN, In the flesh. With blood coursing through His veins.
His digestive system was working because He had blood in His body helping with digestion of the food Jesus was eating. Luke the Physician took special note of this fact.
If Christ did not die as a man in a human body, and was not raised from the dead in that same human body, then there is no point to Christianity, and we are all dead in our sins.
As to a glorified body, or spirit, Jesus Himself says that it is NOT MADE OF FLESH AND BONE. And since blood is created in the bone marrow, Jesus does not have blood running through His flesh or bones because His glorified body is a SPIRIT.
You know, the Lord wrote the Word to be simple. And understandable. And the Word interprets itself. If you have a question about one portion of scripture, you look up the word or phrase in another part to understand what God means. (Just as I did in my previous post by comparing the usage of the phrase “flesh and blood” with “flesh and bone” because their meanings and usages are different and revealing to this discussion.)
So we enter into the Kingdom with childlike faith, not a tortured, twisted arcane understanding of vaunted elitist, extra special extra Biblical belief.
Jesus was crucified in the flesh, He is come in the flesh and was therefore raised in the Flesh...
JUST AS HE SAID.
Why is there so much discussion about this very important but simple matter by men and women I know on FR who are good Christians?
It’s so weird. Please beware deception and false teachings. And GBU
