Why did Jesus shed His blood - the biological reason?

Jesus had flesh and bones in His natural body as well as His glorified body. The Second Adam Jesus came by water and blood – not by water alone. The first Adam came by water alone.

A major component of the human body is still water. When Adam took part of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, sin entered mankind. Sin caused blood to flow in his veins and arteries. What is supposed to circulate life in the body (by carrying Oxygen through its haemoglobin) sadly became the cause of death in mankind – physically as well as spiritually. Flesh received life and started dominating the soul of man This is why God said, “the life of the flesh is in the blood” – Lev 17:11 and ruled, “without shedding of blood there is no remission” – Heb 9:22. Thank God, Jesus shed all His blood for our sake. For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. – Matt 26:28.

This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one – 1John 5:6-8. Born of water and of the Spirit! Adam came by water (lymph / plasma?) only – not by water and blood. Blood entered when man sinned against God. (The foetus in a mother receives the mother’s blue blood and returns it through the umbilical cord. The baby’s own red blood flows in its body only after its birth, when it starts breathing as its lungs and heart start functioning). Jesus came by water and blood. And He shed the blood on the cross for the sin of mankind as there is no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood.
