You are "straight odd" by acting like you are the Grand Inquisitor, asking off-topic questions only to harass me.
Really now? This is about Jesus . . .
You are deep in your delusional dream world if you think your questions of Blood are on topic.
My complaint about you is your personal attacks, name calling, and bullying.
Did Jesus, who could have been or maybe wasn't the Son of the Ruach HaKodesh, shed His blood for the remission of your sins? Yes or No?

Jesus bled when he was crucified.
This was done to him by sinful people.
All the things Jesus did in connection to this were done because
people were under the power of sin, directly or indirectly.
So in other words, you do not believe that this was in God's plan, even though Jesus said "your will be done" when praying in the Garden of Gathsemane when he begged to have that cup removed from him if it were possible.

Jesus begged God for the "cup to pass from him" because he knew the crucifixion drew near. He felt true fear... Could these be the words of a man who willingly died for your sins?
Do you want a man who begged to be saved....to pay the price for YOUR sins?
You are worse than the Roman executioners who nailed Jesus to the cross....
because even they never imagined an innocent man is dying for their sins.
"Christians" seek to profit from the suffering of Jesus.... by embracing a myth that Jesus died for all sin, by all mankind. You know very well that the Roman execution that Jesus suffered was NOT ritualistic... yet, you turn Jesus' execution into a sacrifice for sin.
You obviously missed something in that story. That "cup" wasn't the cross, He was terrified of. It was the cup of His Father's wrath......
Jesus was no sissy boy pansy, that "cup" was His Father's righteous Holy wrath, that He knew He'd soon drink of, till every drop was gone.
I have no idea how you could have come to that conclusion.

What "fanfare"?
If it wasn't in God's plan then he sure made quite a fanfare of foreshadowing of the events where Christ was to carry the wood he was to be sacrificed on, just as Isaac had.
I have no idea how you could have come to that conclusion.
"Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want YOUR WILL to be done, not mine."
Well, you can venerate sissyboy Issa who cowered in fear for something His men and women followers would soon joyfully endure while singing Him praises of worship.
That "cup' was the cup of wrath of His Father. He endured so none of us have to.

Except, the text shortly after Jesus praying for the cup to be taken away shows that Jesus was confident about God sending him legions of angels. It doesn't look like Jesus was fearing the wrath of God... thats something YOU are adding in there.
In your case, you also believe that Jesus was God was himself....and yet you say that Jesus feared God.
Well, how can God fear God?
The answer is that Jesus prayed for the cup to be taken was for the same reason that any human would fear being nailed to a cross.
Jesus begged God for the "cup to pass from him" because he knew the crucifixion drew near. He felt true fear... Could these be the words of a man who willingly died for your sins?
He was reciting Psalms 22.
The cross is the only time Jesus called Him "MY GOD" instead of "MY Father."
There is nothing in the Bible that suggest this is true.
When He was walking through the city, Simon of Sirene (sp?) carried His cross for Him. Why? The purpose of carrying one's cross is to endure the shame and guilt from everyone as they passed through town.
Paul says he was accursed, by the fact that he was hung.
Jesus was innocent, He had no guilt.
Maybe in your own mind but it is never described as such anywhere else in the Bible.
Barabbas and Jesus is again a picture of redemption.
Barabbas was not given any entitlements. At this point, Jesus had no freedom to transfer to anyone else, already being in custody and condemned. The addition of Barabbas to the story is to point out the evil nature of the crowd and to point out the contrast in character to Jesus. Jesus was found guilty by the Jews for blasphemy for claiming to be equal to God, and was found guilty by the Roman authority for insurrection, for claiming to be the king of the Jews.
Barabbas was given the freedom and entitlements of Christ who was innocent, and Christ took all the punishment a condemned man deserved. Barabbas was freed without conditions, Christ was put to death for nothing He did.
At this point they were afraid and ran away.
I don't think you are paying close attention. His followers sure didn't fear the cross, they nearly fought eachother to be first in line to die in the same manner their Lord did as martyrs, they SANG HYMNS as they carried their crosses or while they were covered in tar and burned as street lights in Rome. Peter requested to be crucified upside down and it was granted to him.
