Did Jesus bleed when he was crucified?

Yes, according to the Bible (John 19:34), blood and water came from Jesus' side after a soldier pierced it with a spear, confirming his death; medical explanations suggest this was due to severe trauma, flogging, and fluid buildup (pericardial/ pleural effusion) from hypovolemic shock, causing blood to mix with fluid in the heart's sac, according to GotQuestions.org and The Exalted Christ, while other accounts mention bleeding from the crown of thorns and nails.

How much blood did Jesus lose during the crucifixion?

While traditional Christian piety, citing revelations to saints like St. Bridget, states Jesus lost 28,430 drops of blood during his Passion (around 3 pints), medical theories suggest the loss was far greater, potentially several liters (up to 40% of total blood volume) from scourging, crown of thorns, and crucifixion wounds, leading to hypovolemic shock, though the gospels emphasize his voluntary sacrifice, not just physical trauma.

This isn't a single accidental utterance, but a settled, final opposition to God's saving power, meaning the person becomes unable to seek or receive forgiveness by the end of their life.

It signifies a spiritual process of collecting divine truths, allowing them to shape her faith and understanding, serving as a model for trusting God's unfolding plan. 

Why did water come out of Jesus when he was pierced?

Water and blood came from Jesus' side when pierced to show His physical death, fulfill prophecy, and symbolize the sacraments (Baptism/Eucharist) and the Church's birth, representing both redemption (blood for sin) and new life (water/Spirit) for believers, a phenomenon possibly explained medically by fluid buildup (pericardial effusion) from shock and crucifixion stress.

What does 7 times 70 mean in the Bible?

In the Bible, "seventy times seven" (or "seventy-seven times") in Matthew 18:22 is Jesus' command to Peter to forgive limitlessly, symbolizing unending, complete grace rather than a literal count of 490 times, contrasting with the vengeful "seventy-sevenfold" of Lamech in Genesis 4:24, highlighting divine forgiveness over human vengeance. It's a call to a lifestyle of continuous, generous forgiveness, mirroring God's own grace, and means forgiving repeatedly, even when it's difficult.

What sin can God not forgive?

The one sin God cannot forgive, according to Jesus in the Bible, is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which means a persistent, willful rejection of God's saving grace and the Spirit's testimony of Jesus, leading to a hardened heart that refuses repentance and forgiveness. It's not a single act but a state of final impenitence, where a person continuously resists the Spirit's conviction until they no longer desire forgiveness, making it unforgivable because God honors free will, as Don Piper explains. 

How do I know if I've blasphemed the Holy Spirit?

You know you likely haven't blasphemed the Holy Spirit if you're worried about it, feel guilt, or seek forgiveness, as this sin is defined by a persistent, intentional, unrepentant hardening against God's work (attributing Jesus' miracles to Satan), leading to a complete lack of remorse or desire for God. If you're concerned about having committed it, you can find peace by repenting and trusting in God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ, as the very act of seeking forgiveness shows the Spirit is still working in you.
