Jesus crucifixion was a messy event. Blood everywhere. So why don't we have a sample of Jesus' blood?

Answer 1

LMAO at Crazycivic66. Blood does not evaporate. The water in blood evaporates. Cells, platelets, and sodium, however......do not. And bloodstains are highly enduring. How enduring depends on the amount of exposure to different elements it recieves, but hey, that shouldn't be a problem with the blood of Jesus, right?

Even in more modern times, people took home locks of hair and bits of cloth from the public execution of nobles and criminals. http://www.osa-west.org/williamtirryexecution.html

As famous as Jesus is supposed to have been, there should have been those who were eager to take home a fragment of proof, soldiers or no soldiers. And corrupt soldiers happy to sell it to them. One problem is there were thousands of pious frauds in medieval times when piligrimages were popular. Enough splinters of the "True Cross" to build a cathedral, nails, thorns, blood, baby teeth, foreskins... and the churches that still retain some of them don't like anyone looking too close. Hmmm...wonder why?

Answer 2

The Vatican claimed to have had samples in the Shroud of Turin for many years until I challenged Pope John Paul 2 in 1986 to have the Shroud carbon-tested. He did and in September 1988 he had to declare it a medieval fraud since it was a fraud, as is Christianity, but old Johnny failed to dismantle Christianity even with this klnowledge and he died unable to speak.

DNA testing on any blood samples from any one of the crosses will only prove that the two thieves alone were crucified and they were both named Jesus for the auspicious occassion.

Amen!

Answer 3

Who says that such a thing doesn't exist. Perhaps it does. It really makes no difference either way, does it? Maybe most of His blood was swallowed up by the ground. Maybe someone actually has a piece of His cross with a sample of His blood. Maybe the Shroud of Turin is legitimate and contains some of His blood. Who can say for sure? The important thing to remember is that Jesus Christ went through that humiliation and torture for all who will believe.

Answer 4

Jesus died in 32 AD. There was no use of medical science or blood sampling as we have it today. Medicine was only at the beginning of its time. Even now 2000 years later, medicine still has a lot to learn about the human body and how to treat the many diseases that plague us. All that was kept was His cloak that He wore while He walked and carried His cross to Calvary and the cloth that wrapped His body in His burial and those fibers would have rotted by now as all clothing was natural unprotected fiber in those days.

Answer 5

Because, at that time, only a small handful of people, just a few hundred, thought he was anyone worth-while. Don't you read?

He was executed, not to appease Rome, but to quiet the Jewish priests, the Sanhedrien, etc. Those he referred to as "white-washed graves," meaning that nothing would ever come out of them that was good or alive. They would do anything to keep down trouble, appeasing small mobs, to killing sections of the city. However, the killing of ONE MAN should have been nothing compared to keeping the city safe. So, the only ones who truly cared were his followers and Christ was not the type of person who would inculcate in his followers, "save my blood, it means something." Quite the opposite. Christ would have taught them that the only thing they needed was their faith, not anything physical. Physical things distract from the issue of your salvation and your relationship with God, his Father. But then again, he would not want anyone wearing a cross, either. The Cross had nothing to do with his sacrifice, it was his humility that allowed his sacrifice and the love he had for us and his father.

Answer 6

You can't be serious. They didn't have freezers and test tubes back then as far as we know. And if we did, a non-believer wouldn't believe it was the actual blood of Jesus anyway. I mean, how could you prove it?
Any Christian would be a fool to believe in anything like that if there was such a thing. Because if they put their faith in something like that, and it is proven wrong, their faith is shaken. That's why we must put our faith in something that man cannot corrupt.

Answer 7

what Jesus did was wonderful he does not have to prove if him dying on the cross was horrible event. The tv shows and movies probobly do not even do it justice so why not just have faith it happen pick up the bible and read it. We don't need a sample and it not possible to save samples of anyones body even in murders cases that was 2000 years ago. have faith and start going to church.

Answer 8

we do... it is on the shroud of turin... the burial cloth..that has been preserved....

also, a sample has been collected by an archeologist at the golgotha crucifixion site....see the following link to see what he found out about the blood.... the blood was tested by a jewish lab in israel, so the results are definitely not biased.

Answer 9

You do have a sample of his blood if you are a blood washed born again believer. Each time you commune in church, you are given a sample of his blood in the natural (juice), so that it symbolizes the spiritual. There is actually no sample of his blood, but we know that he shed it for us and that blood has washed away all of our sins!

Answer 10

We DO. Surprise! Not only does it not have any genetic markers from the Father's line, but while most blood is dead once it dries up; this blood is still alive.
