not sure Ive ever seen anyone sweat blood.
Although theres the common saying 'blood, sweat and tears' . If it was really blood would the Bible have said he was bleeding in the garden instead?
I think most people read it symbolically like he was in great agony or pain. I suppose you might need to go back to the original translation of the greek to figure out what it meant.
I would offer. Blood and faith, or blood as faith does not mix. A distinction must be made , between the things of God not seen, and those of man seen.
The first part of the three day and night in the heart of the earth or belly of the whale. "A place of extreme suffering" is in the demonstration in the garden of Gethsemane" . It was then the father began pouring out the cup of wrath and the Son suffered unto death, sufferings being strengthened to finish the work . It was promised in Isiah 53. A demonstration of the Father and Son working alone. And as revealed there was no help in strengthening prayer a
work from the disciples. It could not be part of the demonstration of the Isaiah 53 parable . It was the work of two.
The demonstration of Father and Son alone working was to provide the peace of God that surpasses our understanding Giving us his understanding working in us. Two "the witness of God" . No Father, no Son. . . . .No Son, no Father.
After waking up the witness of man, the disciples, then the three day demonstration of the lamb of God slain for sin moved to part two. . . the cross demonstration. The witness of man. Where a multitude of people were part, some cheering, some sufferings, others wondering.. working praying.
Making literal blood the source of spirit life leads as a example of Catholicism. They had one recently and he disappeared underground . the bible calls them a worker with as familiar spirit called Padre Pio.(patron saint) One who many say they commune with even today to aid their faith from doubt. Some say they can smell Padre Pio's presence.
His hands bled continuously . He also could be in two different places at the same time etc .He as a lying spirit is said to still bringing lying signs as wonders to draw men away from the faith of Christ. Christ's labor of love that works in us as
it is written. That showed they did not understand how to hear by
faith as
it is written.
I would offer. Blood and
living water represents spirit life. Either blood or water has no life of its own .It returns to the field of clay from where it came from.
It would seem the JW's misunderstand the hearing of
faith (Christ's)as
it is written by taking away the God given use of literal blood while a person still has life. They literally must refuse it as a law of their fathers that lord it over the pew sitters faith . The life of the flesh is in the blood . Spirit life is not blood or water.
Jesus sweat, real sweat in first demonstration .Real blood in phase two the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we
walk by
faith, not by sight
