What does 'a pound of flesh' mean?
There actually is no such phrase. People using it are confusing the phrase "a pound of flesh" from the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice with the title of the 2008 Will Smith movie "Seven Pounds" In the Shakespeare play the pound of flesh is the penalty for defaulting on a loan. You default on your mortgage and the bank gets your arm. The Will Smith movie is not about defaulting on a loan, but about making up for your mistakes. In the film Smith's character must help seven people to make up for the seven people he accidentally killed.
What does daughter to his blood you are not to his manners mean?
This is a quotation from Act II Scene 3 of The Merchant of Venice, and is said by Jessica, Shylock's daughter: Alack, what heinous sin is it in me To be ashamed to be my father's child! But though I am a daughter to his blood, I am not to his manners. O Lorenzo, If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife, Become a Christian and thy loving wife. Jessica is unhappy at home and hopes to escape by eloping with Lorenzo, which entails stealing a lot of her father's money and abandoning her religion for Lorenzo's. She dislikes her father and knows that it is a "heinous sin" to do so, but she feels that although she is his daughter in the biological sense, "daughter to his blood", that does not mean that she must agree to his lifestyle, or his "manners". As far as they are concerned, she says, she is not his daughter.

Can flesh and blood enter into heaven?
flesh and blood cannot enter heaven, Jesus said so...but flesh and bone can enter. blood is the only thing thats forbidden throughout the bible. jesus had lost all his blood on the cross and was resurrected with no blood in his body. his disciples touched him, felt him and even saw his scars so he definately was not a spirit or in spirit form. the very condition that Adam and Eve were before they sinned, they were flesh and bones. there is certainly no way Elijah went to heaven in flesh and blood, remember there are three heavens mentioned in the bible...so elijah might have assended to heaven but not the third heaven where God is. Jesus also said that no man had ascended to heaven, he knew because he came from heaven...the third heaven Where God is
Why did God tell the Israelites not to drink blood?
11For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
What action of God is celebrated in the Eucharist?
The sacrifice and offering of flesh and blood for your salvation. The Eucharist is a re-enactment of the last supper where Christ said to take of his flesh and blood as well as the actual sacrifice of Calvary though now in an unbloody manner. The bread represents the flesh, while the wine represents blood. In the Catholic tradition, these items actually transubstantiate ("transform") into the body and blood of Christ at the consecration of the Mass. This is not generally believed in Protestant circles.
Is there any evidence that Antonio in Twelfth Night and Antonio in The Merchant of Venice are the same person?
Yes the Antonio of Twelfth Night is a younger version of the Antiono of The Merchant of Venice, (1) They both come from Venice; (2) They are both engaged in like or similar trades. I have other reasons for thinking this as well. Well, it would be nice to hear the other reasons, because these two are not very good. Antonio in Twelfth Night is not said to be from Venice anywhere in the play. In fact the words Venice and Venetian do not appear in the play. And Antonio in Twelfth Night is a ship's captain (he is actually wanted for piracy in Illyria) and Antonio in Merchant of Venice is a wholesaler. It's like saying that the owner of a warehouse has the same job as a truck driver. You could work out a scenario where they were the same guy, but there is no reason here to think so. You could probably work out a scenario where he later became the Antonio in The Two Gentlemen of Verona as well.
What does its a wise father that knows his own child mean?
It's not a particularly obscure quotation. It means that if you are a father and you know your own child (which could mean to recognize him or her, or understand him or her) then you are wise. It's said by the clown Gobbo in The Merchant of Venice.
What does blood symbolis in religion?
Depends on the religion.Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
