    The prohibition against drinking blood is a big one for me. — BitconnectCarlos

    Also interesting on this point is that many Christians maintain this prohibition, for it is reiterated in Acts 15:29. That is, John 6 is not seen as a reversal of the Hebrew law against consuming blood.

    ...Does Jesus not instruct his disciples to consume his flesh and blood?

    - Yes, but what I am saying is that this did not cause the early Christian to stop abstaining from animal blood. So the theology of blood-abstention remained, except for the Eucharist. In certain parts of Christianity it still does, like Eastern Orthodoxy.

    To answer the question of the OP: Yes, one can be a Christian if Jesus didn't rise. Why? Because it's a scientific fact that Jesus didn't rise, and yet one can still be a Christian, since there are millions of Christians in the world, living today.
