sp3ctr4lYeah, I don’t get this.
In John, there’s a wedding and the planners forgot to bring the booze, so Jesus tells some dudes to fill a bunch of casks with water, and then poof kablamo, they are made into wine via the power of Jesus being irritated.
There’s certainly a lot of imagery and focus on the blood of Jesus in the Bible… but the whole transsubstantiation/consubstantiation thing is about … the reverse of this, wine either transforming into, or metaphorically representing the blood of Christ.
I am… not aware of any part of the Bible nor sect/branch/denomination/church that teaches that Jesus at any point turns his blood into wine.
I don’t think that even happens in any of the ‘expanded universe’ / Gnostic texts.
In summary:
Wine -> Blood? Yes*.
Water -> Wine? Yes.
Blood -> Wine? No.
YesIAmHoomanNoCatSome Christians (at least roman-catholic) celebrate communion, consuming ‘bread’ and wine that has been blessed.
According to them the bread and wine literally become body and blood of Christ.
That’s the joke of the comic :)
Yes but that’s backwards of what the comic is representing.
As I said… I don’t think any kind of Christian believes that Jesus’ blood ever turns into wine.
That doesn’t happen anywhere in the text.
So… the joke is… based off of a thing that doesn’t happen?
It would be like making a joke based off the idea that Moses can summon floods.
He can’t. He’s never shown to be able to do that, he’s shown to be a water bender who can move water out of the way, but not generate it.
doesn’t happen anywhere in the text.
Religion is more than just the book. Catholics literally believe that the wine at mass is literally Jesus’ blood. This is a joke about them. Not about the book that their specific flavor of whatever is based on.
Look, I’m not Catholic or any kind of Christian, but…
Catholics do not believe that Jesus’ blood turns into wine.
So… acting like they do… is just trolling, basically.
Its not a joke, because it doesn’t stem from a thing that someone actually believes.
It is simply asserting that someone believes a thing they do not… which is trolling.
There are a vast plethora of ludicrous things that varying kinds of Christians believe are literally true, that you could make an actual joke out of.
That is the opposite of this though, like all the other comments are trying to explain.
Eucharist = wine and bread turning into Christ’s blood and flesh
Comic = Christ’s blood turning into wine
How are so many people getting that backwards? Are you all trolling?
You’ll get no disagreement from me
The literally believe the blessing of the Eucharist turns the wine into the blood of Christ.
Not that the blood of Christ turns into wine.
Hope this helps.
And then that wine is like 25 proof. ergo, his blood is 25 proof.
It’s the logical conclusion. If Jesus’ blood has alcohol in it, then it’s alcoholic.
No where does anyone ever say Jesus’a blood has alcohol in it, except this comic which doesn’t follow any religion. This is a misconstrued line of thinking that only you and OP seem to be stuck on.
Many catholic churches will use whatever liquid is available, it does not, and never had to be wine.
I’m not sure what you’re saying. No matter what liquid the church uses, transubstantiation turns it into jesus’s blood. Right?
When I have had jesus’s blood, it had alcohol in it.
So anytime the church does transubstantiation, regardless of liquid it started with, it ends up alcoholic.
VandalismoThat doesn’t happen anywhere in the text.
When Jesus categorically says “This is my blood” though
