Immortal Jesus Died From His Blood Being Drained
Jesus said that “no man take my life” and “I lay down my life”. The fact is there are only 2 ways an immortal can die: 1) lose his male seed. 2) ALLOW his blood to be drained (yes, even immortals can not live without blood).
In His first 30 years of life, Jesus succeeded in performing the tasks required to convert His standard issue human male body, into that of an immortal man.
Being an immortal man, here on earth, means three things.
- No man can take your life.
- No animal can take your life.
- Age is not consuming your life.
Here is what Jesus says about “laying down His life”:
John 10:17-18 “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
John 10:15 “even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
1 John 3:16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Ok, it seems obvious that Jesus volunteered to die, so to speak, because He could not be killed:
John 10:39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
So if He had become an immortal, undying man, then how did He die?
Jesus allowed them to poke holes in His skin and drain His blood out. Even an immortal can not continue living without His blood.
It gives much more meaning to the old favorite church hymn “There’s Power In The Blood – wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb”.
He came to earth to defeat the ultimate enemy – death – but He needed to endure death, in order to defeat it, which He did, three days later with His resurrection from the grave.

[…] Jesus took total dominion over his physical body, to the point where He was able to attain immortality in a standard issue human male body. […]
[…] we, his snotty nosed little punk kids could have our way with Him by poking holes in His skin and draining His blood out. That is the only way He could have […]
Re the article: “Immortal Jesus Died From His Blood Being Drained”
I can find no actual evidence that Yeshua’s life was drained from him as the author proposed. He was crucified. Crucifixion caused death by asphyxiation. When his side was speared, blood and water came out proving he was dead but that there was still uncirculating blood in his body. If his blood had been drained, that could not have happened. Furthermore, there is no record of his blood being drained which would have been unique in the annals of crucifixion lore.
I also cannot find any evidence that he became an immortal during his lifetime by following some kind of immortality program. If so, what evidence do you have from the Hebrew Scriptures or even pseudepigrapha to support your theory?
But assuming you are correct that he had been thoroughly exsanguinated like a sacrificial goat, lamb or bull:
His life-blood being drained from him CANNOT possibly be an expiation for sin because human blood or even the blood of an
“immortal” human cannot atone for anything. Where can we find 2 or more witnesses in the Hebrew bible for this idea? The very first command that God gave to Noah after the flood was about “life for life” i.e. “blood for blood” regarding the recompense one would receive for spilling another human’s blood (Gen 9:5). How can human blood atone for anything since it’s an abomination before God?
It is only the death of a righteous human that can atone for the unrighteous (i.e. the death of the high priests makes expiation for accidentally killing another in case of unintentional manslaughter, Nu. 35:28, and other examples). It has nothing to do with the “human blood gospel” which is ancient paganism and was credited to Jesus by the Graecco-Roman Church’s universal very pagan “blood of the dying and resurrected god-man” religion.

Hi Bob 🙂
I really appreciate your taking the time and effort to reach out with such a thought provoking message/questions. I’ll do my best to reveal my heart in this matter.
> Your site is very interesting… Your “Jesus, Paul and DSS” was very on-point.

The form of crucifiction that He endured INCLUDED holes in His skin. His blood DID get drained out, to some degree. Would you agree?
> Crucifixion caused death by asphyxiation.
That is an assumption. Since the blood WAS DRAINED, and there were many factors pressing His (young) physical body.
> When his side was speared, blood and water came out proving he was dead but that there was still uncirculating blood in his body. If his blood had been drained, that could not have happened.
I am not a medical physician, so I have no basis to agree or not to this position… I was not there, so I pass on this question/assertion.
> Furthermore, there is no record of his blood being drained which would have been unique in the annals of crucifixion lore.
Really? What do you say about these:

You confuse me for one of those who believe that a “blood atonement” or any sort of disgusting blood sacrifice whatsoever!!! I DO NOT believe that we are “saved by the blood” or any of that nonsense. You will not find any sort of reference on my site. Please investigate for yourself, and learn what you have never heard before.

Shed his blood on the cross? Except the way the Romans nailed people to the cross minimized the shedding of blood. Mishnaic and Talmudic sources indicate that not much blood was lost, perhaps a quarter or half cup or so (60 to 125 ml). Furthermore Paul said Jesus died on a σταυρός by which he could have meant cross but also pole or pale/stake.
The authorities nailed people to poles and crosses but they also impaled them on stakes, guaranteeing copious amounts of blood would be lost. And the Romans did an innovation to the cross by adding a thorn to it, combining the penalties of crucifixion and impalement. Although in this instance, the impalement was probably safe enough to not kill instantly but allowed to condemned to suffer extreme pain and humiliation for days.
What word does Paul use for “crucify”. Checking the Greek text of the NT reveals σταυρόω which means “fence with pales” (which was done by pile-driving) and then later on picked up the definition “crucify”. Unfortunately the letters of Paul was the first sources I could find that might have referenced σταυρόω for “crucify”.
Before the Epistles the earlier sources in reference to a person being “crucified” using the verb σταυρόω probably meant crucifixion by pile driving, which did occur in the Roman Empire. On source reads, “alii per obscoena stipitem egerunt”, meaning, others through the privates drive a stake” (Seneca Younger, Dialogues 6 (De Consolatione ad Marciam) 20.3), a reference to impalement. Those Romans who knew Greek back then would use σταυρόω. And Seneca and Paul both lived about the same time.
Holy smokes, man! Paul was saying Jesus was impaled!? And ever since then the church has been doing damage control for there cannot be a coming back from impalement, even by resurrection. It’s too gross.
