Was Jesus's blood physically different than ours?

[ross3421]

1pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

To be without spot or blemish to me would be perfect and a need to be different than ours as human blood could not was or take away human sin. So what would be the difference between Jesus's blood and our blood? Only one thing I can think of, the presence of sin.

Is it possible that sin itself is transferred through the blood and thus the reason for the need of sinless blood to be shed. Below are some scriptures to ponder.....

Life is in the blood, the same is death is in the blood.

Le 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof:

We are bound to Adam by blood the common denominator

Ac 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

We all are subject to death by sin which is passed unto all men

Ro 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:


So Jesus must have had no presence of sin in his blood as of course no death was found in him and he could not die unlike us but only voluntarily.


Thoughts.

Sin isn't a physical thing that infects a person's blood. It's a spiritual condition.

There's no Biblical basis for concluding that Jesus' blood was 'physically different than ours'.

[quiet dove]

Actually ross, I would think just the opposite would be the case. Jesus came as a man, like we are minus the sin. But as mark said, sin is not physical state, it is a state that effects the physical.

The thing is, it is very important that Jesus came as a mortal man. That He came as we are in regards to mortal. It was more, or deeper, than Jesus not having sin, Jesus also 'chose', not to sin. He was tempted as we are, but Jesus remained completely, not only just not 'sinning', He remained totally submissive to His Fathers will. He was obedient in more than just not doing anything 'wrong', or sinning. He only had one purpose and one focus, obedience to His Fathers will. And that done as a man under the control of the Holy Spirit. That is really actually very important as it relates to Jesus being the only one who could be God the Son, and the only one who could pay for our sins.

And also, Jesus was not forced to come as a mortal man, He was not forced to stay a mortal man while here. That also would have been contradictory to His willing obedience to His Father. He could have backed out anytime. Had He been unable to back out, either changing His mind or refusing to die, that would have defeated the purpose of His willingly giving His life for us. Had He been unable to back out, by default, He would have been forced to stay.

My point being, that while He was still very much God the Son. He did indeed, willingly, come as a man....in a flesh and blood body just as we have, just minus the sin nature we contain in our person, that part of us that is not flesh and blood.

Amen and amen.

Scripture asserts the exact opposite conclusion that the OP does - that as the "Branch", the "Root of David", and the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah", The blood of Jesus was from a Jewish family line - He was fully human, as well as fully God. To have "transcendent blood" or "physically different blood" would disqualify Him from being an heir to the throne of David. In order to qualify for and ultimately fulfill the promises of God to Abraham, Moses, and David, His blood had to be the same as theirs

[John 8:32]

Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Boy this did not set well with the Nazis, but it is absolute truth. We are all the same, we may have different physical characteristics, but we are all after the God kind...

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Our destiny is to be sons and daughters of God. No other created species can say this.

If Christ was a faithful High Priest...

Heb_2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Christ was human just as we are.

[Mark F]

It is interesting to note that no blood passes from mother to child in the developement process. And He was virgin born.

I believe there is some connection from God's persective as to why He was virgin born, He traces things like that. It has bearing.

Hebrews 7:9-10
9 Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, 10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

Notice also that it is the father that is noted here.

Depending upon whom you ask, this passage in Genesis is speaking of Noah's physical lineage being without contamination, (from the sons of God and daughters of men passage)

Genesis 6:9
This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

I tend to lean to the fallen angels interpretation so the corrupt blood line in this instance makes sense, as that would have been a motive for doing so.

I'm not dogmatic, as I do not think anyone can be on subjects as this thread, only speculative.

So what would be the difference between Jesus's blood and our blood? Only one thing I can think of, the presence of sin.

The major problem with that theory is that the reason Jesus didn't sin, was not because He fulfilled all of the will of the Father, even unto death, but because His blood was sinless. So If that's the case, why did He need to suffer like He did, be tempted like He was, be rejected like He was, etc, if all along the magic of Him being sinless was that He had sinless blood flowing thru His veins? When a lamb was sacrificed back in the OT, was it first subjected to many trials before it was sacrificed? It's blood would be different, right? So why didn't it first have to be tested, so to speak, like Jesus was tested, since you seem to be pondering that Jesus' blood would be different from our blood, the same way a Lamb's blood might be different? Even if His blood were different somehow, that would not make Him automatically sinless, the fact He had to be tested and subjected to many trials to prove that He was without sin.

Jesus is a universal donor, so his blood type must have been O-

Vey good my friend!

[David Taylor]

So Jesus must have had no presence of sin in his blood as of course no death was found in him and he could not die unlike us but only voluntarily.

Sin isn't a physical entity carried in the blood like a bacteria or a disease.

Sin is a willful state of being that human beings invoke when choosing to be in rebellion against the Lord.

Physically, Jesus' blood was human blood just like every other human.

The specialty of His blood was not in it's makeup, but that it was freely spilled for us from the sinless God incarnate.

[ross3421]

Sin isn't a physical thing that infects a person's blood. It's a spiritual condition.

Let's see, sin is not a physical thing but the removal of sin is the physical shedding of blood....... or do you think his blood need not be shed and just symbolic? If blood was not so important then I guess God could have waved a wand instead.

Why does blood need to be cleansed?

Joe 3:21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Why do you thin flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom? Because it is physically corrupted.

1co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

There's no Biblical basis for concluding that Jesus' blood was 'physically different than ours'.

Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Jesus blood had to be different, no human or animal blood could be shed for the remission of sins.

[John 8:32]

I think the point is that sin requires blood because...

Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

The shedding of blood requires the taking of a life. Sin requires the death penalty...

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So, the shedding of Christ's blood was the giving of His life in our stead.

Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

His blood shed paid the price so that we do not have our blood shed. He died so we do not have to.

[ross3421]

The thing is, it is very important that Jesus came as a mortal man.

Mortal? No QD Jesus though he was in flesh was not mortal, but still immortal. If Jesus were mortal then he would have been able to die without having to go to the cross. Jesus could not die, this is why he had to give his life freely.

Job 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

2co 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

1ti 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

If Jesus could die this means he had sin !!!!!!!

QD, Jesus blood was precious without blemish or spot.

His blood shed paid the price so that we do not have our blood shed. He died so we do not have to.

But would this not mean that his blood needed to be different than a normal human? We know it had to be different than bulls and goats... can corruption take way corruption?

[John 8:32]

If Jesus could die this means he had sin !!!!!!!

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Nope. It means He died in our place. Suppose you commit a murder, are arrested and taken to court. You are found guilty and sentenced to die. Some wonderful person steps up and says "I know this person is guilty and deserves to die, but I have decided to die in their place so that they may go free." Now, did the wonderful person commit the crime? No, he just volunteered to take the punishment that you deserved. That is what Christ did for us...

Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
