Why did Jesus spit?

[Rachael Van Helsing]

So then did he just want them to remember him whilst eating or did he want them to be imagining they were eating a chunk of bicep and a drink of arterial blood.....?

[Brother V]

Yes, I know you know the bible well, V.

And aren't things like cannibalism and vampirism oh I don't know.......wrong?

Yes, that's why we don't actually do it. If you read Luke 22:19, you would see the word REMEMBRANCE. That makes it symbolic. Unlike those cathylickers who think they are actually eating a chunk of Jesus, and taking a swig of the holy A (get it, a positive... that was funny, I just made a joke). The "last supper" was symbolic. Jesus said do in remembrance... he didn't say "eat me".

Don't you all look at the bible literally? Looked at literally, the above quote implies that Jesus enjoyed the odd spoon of disciple soup here or there.
It seemed Jesus really had a cannibal fetish going there

Hello... "this is my body"? Remember that one?

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

Don't forget vampirism.

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Don't try to surprise us with the bible (kjv1611) we've read it. Just because you suddenly think Jesus is a cannibal, doesn't mean that we (your betters) don't already know what verses deal exactly with that subject.

Spit on us, not spit us out.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

(My favorite 3:16)

Did you ever wonder why, in all these three healings, why Jesus spit? Why did He not just heal these three people, as He did all the others, without spittle?

I would be interested in any ideas you might have as to this Holy mystery.

I believe it was a kind of Baptism.

Today we are cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb (Rev. 7:14), but people living in those days didn't have the same opportunity, since the Lamb had not yet been slaughtered. Thus our Lord in His infinite wisdom gave His chosen ones a chance to be baptized in body fluids, other than blood.

Of course, all this doesn't mean that Our Lord didn't take pleasure in spitting those money-grubbing Joos right in their hook-nosed faces.

santa?
Don't even get me started! We all know that santa is really satan, trying to lure children away from the one that Christmas is really all about:
Jesus Christ.


Jesus spit is holy, and we can only pray that one day, he will have the kindness to spit on us too. Praise!

Spit on us, not spit us out.

Zeke, I daresay you'll find the 'hidden truths' of the bible in the same location as Santa's workshop.

As I remember from a recent Sermon from Pastor Al on this very subject, it is believed that the spittle from a first born has healing properties.
I assume that this only applies to White Christian Males, and if you multiply this a Billion times maybe you get some idea of how powerful this Jesus spittle really is!

Genesis 2:7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Praise The Lord.

[Glendora Christianson]

I am reminded of poor Job.

Thanks for your delightful stories of Jesus' spittle. What I wouldn't give the have a even a small bottle of it. And what a comparison Jesus' magic spittle is to poor Job's. Tested by Satan, sent nightmares by God, Job asks: "How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?" I guess, the rest of us are just destined to swallow.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Why Did Jesus Spit?

Three times in the Bible, Jesus spit to heal people.

In Mark 7:32-35, a deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to Jesus. Jesus put His finger in the man’s ears and, spitting, touched his tongue, then looked up to Heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephatha!" (that is, "Be opened!") And immediately the man’s ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly.

In Mark 8:22-25, in Bethsaida, a blind man was brought to Jesus. Jesus took the blind man outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes, He laid hands on him and asked, "Do you see anything?" Looking up the man replied, "I see people looking like trees and walking." Then Jesus laid hands on his eyes a second time and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.

In John 9:1-7, Jesus meets up with a blind man who was blind from birth. Jesus spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on the man’s eyes, and said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" (which means sent). So he went and washed, and came back able to see.

Did you ever wonder why, in all these three healings, why Jesus spit? Why did He not just heal these three people, as He did all the others, without spittle?
