Yes, actual blood. The doctrines of transsubstantiation (catholic, orthodox) and consubstantiation (lutheran) require the ingesting of actual blood.
What?I think it was through quantum physics somehow that, the scientists now believe that Blood is in reality congealed light. I don't have the source for you anymore but I know I read it and what it said.
And that would agree with Isaiah 60 for us to arise and shine. I can see how falling would dim ones light and perhaps make it congeal. From sin. That's also why Jesus, after His resurection and He was with the disciples and He was telling them, I am flesh and bone, touch me and see.
He didn't say flesh and blood like we say. He said flesh and bone. No mention of blood. Because He was resurected and without any sin nature anymore to congeal his man blood. He probably had no blood at that point because none of His light was dimmed or congealed!
So in one sense, one could perhaps say That going into communion with the Lord and drinking His blood that we are actually drinking in His Light. The light of God.
Quantum physics, eh? Like anyone in the first century (or even the 19th for that matter) ever had a concept that even came close to quantum physics.I think it was through quantum physics somehow that, the scientists now believe that Blood is in reality congealed light.

it really takes Jew and gentile joined into one new man to understand:Quantum physics, eh? Like anyone in the first century (or even the 19th for that matter) ever had a concept that even came close to quantum physics.
God gave directives that were not too hard to understand and obey. Not ingesting actual blood is no different.
To drink blood or eat meat with the blood still in it was a sin. Still is.
Acts 15:20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood.
I have never seen anyone -- Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, or anyone else -- ingest actual blood. And I hope I never do! That would be extremely barbaric and, if it was human blood, they would probably be arrested! I have seen wine ingested, which symbolizes blood, but it is not actual blood.Yes, actual blood.

I understand that. But I have had Catholic friends who after a times of intense prayer or personal struggle have tasted real human blood when they took the eucharist.I have never seen anyone -- Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, or anyone else -- ingest actual blood.

If you consider yourself a Christian, why do you still observe the OT law?Quantum physics, eh? Like anyone in the first century (or even the 19th for that matter) ever had a concept that even came close to quantum physics.

The power of the imagination!I understand that. But I have had Catholic friends who after a times of intense prayer or personal struggle have tasted real human blood when they took the eucharist.
The law is a shadow of things to come. Presented as a shadow the law is being used lawfully.If you consider yourself a Christian, why do you still observe the OT law?
Mark 7:18-19, "He said to them, “So, are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters not the heart but the stomach and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
Matthew 6:25, "“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?"
Romans 14:20-22, "Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong to make someone stumble by what you eat; it is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble. Hold the conviction that you have as your own before God. Blessed are those who do not condemn themselves because of what they approve."
I have no idea what this means.The law is a shadow of things to come. Presented as a shadow the law is being used lawfully.

Um - Last time I looked, Acts 15 was in the NEW testament....If you consider yourself a Christian, why do you still observe the OT law?
Colossians 2:16 kjvI have no idea what this means.
But the prohibition against eating meat with blood in it or drinking blood is a commandment in the Old Testament. As I pointed out in post #292, the prohibition has nothing to do with the New Covenant.Um - Last time I looked, Acts 15 was in the NEW testament....
