Hi Dave :)

We are to have at least a second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.L Ray Smith Ref:  Truth no 6 TWELVE GOD-GIVEN TRUTHS TO UNDERSTAND HIS WORD

Ray does exactly what the Scriptures admonish us to do, which we both failed to do!  :(

I am grateful that Kat was given to bring us all the edification required that blesses us to see the spiritual match to Lev 17 :11 is Isa 53:10 8)

There is no need to argue, debate or feel bad, we have only to find the second witness to establish a Scriptural truth or doctrine.  Easier said than done! :D

Precious and Holy is His sacrifice.

I was also raised a Roman Catholic. My Father was Jewish!

So, yes, I recall too that I never heard that the soul is in the blood except for in my Biology class that taught DNA is in the blood! :D

What do I know!

Can someone explain how blood was necessary. Blood is a physical substance. How can that effect anything spiritual? The shedding of ones blood resisting sin is the proof you will have nothing to do with it.The way I understand it: The blood was the ''physical proof'' of Christs inner self. I remember reading from one of Rays papers stating that Christ does not offer his blood to the Father he himself is the offering.He did not return to the Father with a cup full of blood.His work was a spiritual work.What I gathered from that is that the very spirit of Christ put into us is what cleanses us,  from our sins.His experience of becoming flesh enables us to become like him.His life lived as a man proves he loves god first with all his soul and all his mind and might and loves his fellows as he loves himself, setting an example for us.I do not think this was about blood, I think this was about "LIFE".Quality of "LIFE" The shedding of blood was the " proof", the evidence was his life. And the promise of a perfect life without death by trusting GOD.I personally never saw Christ die and be raised back from the dead, we all want to believe that, that is our hope. So what changes a person, inside himself. Not blood, but spirit. Not my spirit, Christ spirit, his continuing life. Life is in the spirit,Christ words are spirit and they are life. Not Blood.Blood is a symbol.

Deborah-Leigh:
The Truth is not established on one word, as such. Ps119:160 The SUM of Your Word is Truth (NASV) so if blood is in the Word of God, which it is,then it has a place of meaning that is beautifully expounded by Ray which does not exclude the fact that the Bible is one giant parable of symbolic meaning of all the words.  :)

What literally happened has to spiritually happen in all of us if we are to be as Christ is Himself.
 
I believe the accounts of the Bible are events that took place literally for our admonition spiritually.
