John 19:34

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

Gerhard uses hundreds of words to say NOTHING! A hopelessly glib fella.

Let him walk us through sin offerings. WHY were animals killed?
And after killing them, why was their blood poured/sprinkled at the altar?

And you use the same bygone animal sacrificial system hundreds of times again and again as also do the Jews who never will find forgiveness in the blood you call upon.

 

[Gerhard Ebersoehn]

In the mind of God the Lord Jesus shed His blood for sinners before the foundation of the world. But it happened in real time on the cross at Calvary.

Like "~in the mind of God~" so with us in faith!

What had happened in real time on the cross at Calvary was Jesus Christ giving his life, surrendering and pouring out his SOUL---his LIFE. Not one drop of blood from his flesh "corrupted", "in death" or in his dying the death of death. Jesus died the death of death having "VANQUISHED death the last enemy" of LIFE, "DESTROYING" it, "death" having been "SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY" : not LIFE being swallowed up by or in death.

THAT was what happened on the cross; not heathen, barbaric, savage blood-spilling, but DIVINE SALVATION OF LIFE.

Why was an animal killed and its blood poured on the altar ? Wasn't its death sufficient?

You know as well as I do there is no forgiveness of sin in the 'blood'-'death' of sacrifices in whichever way and wherever it may be offered. Faith was required of those who offered blood / life according to the OT Laws as much as of us who BELIEVE in Jesus' blood poured out in his SOUL and LIFE with POWER of his OWN WILL IN THE FACT OF HIS DYING FOR US.

If you believe in spilled blood from the living body of Jesus on the cross, you are obliged to believe in spilling blood from the living body of Jesus now. And be a Roman Catholic. Or believe in non-existing decomposed = "corrupted" blood of Jesus 2000 years ago. And be some superstitious mystic.

Original Post:. . .
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Jesus' 'blood' means nothing than Jesus' LIFE--Divine-Human LIFE He poured out for the forgiveness of sins.
Or do you maintain Jesus somehow literally is bleeding or was bleeding to forgive sins?
Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.
