God told us to not eat the blood. Your religion not only contradicts God’s admonition

Well...MY God tells me...

15 there is NOTHING outside a person that by going in can defile,
but the things that come out are what defile."

And that is inerrant- God breathed inspired and divine scripture that disagrees with you.
There is more where that came from...

And so giving John 6 a rest for the day...
I want you to realize how your faith beliefs fall apart here.

Aren't you the one who says..."We are no Longer UNDER THE LAW"?
Haven't you even sided with those nutter Preachers who say "We are not even under the MORAL Law either anymore?
Even though Christ clearly says we must obey his commandments to abide in him?
You're gonna need to fix your "not being under the law" thing if you want to accuse Catholics of not following the law.

Your argument is bogus.
(Remember when the word "bogus" was used more often...)

The more important question you should be asking yourself is...
If I really Love Jesus-
why would I NOT want to be ONE FLESH with Jesus?
No doubt we are not worthy of the Supper of The Lamb...
But don't you want to be ONE with Christ in the Physical sense?

Or ask yourself... on hearing Christ words at Capernaum,
where HE triples down on eating his flesh, and drinking his blood to have eternal life, and if you were in The crowd that day...

Do you stay- or do you walk away?

No, I have not 'sided with' those deluded souls. But that doesn't stop you from attacking that strawman. You do not have the truth in you.

You are defending a deep and obnoxious blasphemy, catholic. And you are under the spell of magic thinking spewing from a devilish source. Even if you could snack on the flesh and blood of Jesus, you would not be snacking on the behavior mechanism and SPIRIT of God. You reject what is spoken to you in The Word of God, that God is SPIRIT, not some confection your cult priests can feed to you at a pagan altar after some mumbo jumbo magic incantation supposedly brings Jesus from the Throne room to your altars, as if your priest commands GOD! Your cult is the most pagan evidence of the spirit of antichrtist and you are lost to it!

When the Christians disappear suddenly, get on your knees and beg God to forgive your blasphemies and believe in faith alone on Christ alone depending. If you do not at that instant, well, you will remain as doomed as you are now.

Your misapplication of verse fifteen reveals your lack of spiritual discernment. It is the blasphemous ritual that defiles your spirit, not your stomachs because the confection goes through the alimentary tract and is expelled in the drought. But you have the slimmest of chances, since JESUS told you that blasphemies against Him can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

At the risk of annoying my friends, this is something that we are close to each other’s stance on. All foods ARE clean, and the admonition against blood has to do with ritual idol worship that was common at the time and was warned against in the same way that eating foods sacrificed to idols was warned against.

We have our differences of course, such as the exact nature of the Body and Blood of Christ and whether the nature of the bread and wine remains present alongside or is done away with entirely.

The admonition to not eat blood was reiterated by the Council at Jerusalem in Acts 15.

It was given before the Law, enforced by the Law, and reiterated again after Jesus died.

It has never been rescinded, Catholic misapplication of Scripture notwithstanding.
