Although this medical condition is relatively rare, according to Dr. Frederick Zugibe (Chief Medical Examiner of Rockland County, New York) it is well-known, and there have been many cases of it. The clinical term is "hematohidrosis." "Around the sweat glands, there are multiple blood vessels in a net-like form." Under the pressure of great stress the vessels constrict. Then as the anxiety passes "the blood vessels dilate to the point of rupture. The blood goes into the sweat glands." As the sweat glands are producing a lot of sweat, it pushes the blood to the surface - coming out as droplets of blood mixed with sweat. So the reason why Jesus was sweating blood is that He was under a lot of stress. Read Luke 22.

Are Christians perfect?

1. AnswerChristians are not prefect. Nobody is. As such, this is why a savior was needed. Christians are not perfect, but they are saved because of what Jesus did on the cross. Through the shedding of His blood, we are saved through faith in Him as our Lord and Savior. I'm sure other Christians can state this better than I.Even after a Christian is saved, they are still not perfect and sin just like everybody else, but they are supposed to try not to just because God wouldn't want them to.

Why is the catholic priest able to change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus?

Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while still retaining the appearance of bread and wine. This is based on the belief in the priest's power to act in persona Christi, or in the person of Christ, during the sacrament of the Eucharist.

What does it mean to receive Holy Communion?

It is to eat bread and drink wine together with other Christians to remember Jesus' death. The bread represents Jesus' body and the wine represents his blood. See the Bible, 1 Corinthians 11:23:The LORD Jesus on the night he was betrayed, took bread and when he had given thanks he broke it, saying "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, do this in remembrance of me"The reason Jesus wanted Christians to receive communion was because he died so that he could be punished instead of sinners, IE: everyone. So they didn't have to be punished in hell. For this reason, those who know this and accept Jesus as their savior and turn away from their sin can be forgiven and go to heaven when they die. These people are true Christians. Jesus knew they would need a constant reminder of what he had done for them, so he set up the ritual of communion.
