--- Quote ---Can someone explain how blood was necessary. Blood is a physical substance. How can that effect anything spiritual?
--- End quote ---


Blood as a symbol of Gods sacrifice to us should never be taken lightly.
Jesus's blood was shed so that we all could be saved .
Remember that the shadow's are indeed the reality of the Spirit.

Lev 17:11  For the life of the flesh is in the blood. And I have given it to you on the altar to make an atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.

1Jn 1:7  But if we live in the light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus washes all our sins away.

Heb 9:11  Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are now here. He also went into a much better tent that wasn't made by humans and that doesn't belong to this world.
Heb 9:12  Then Christ went once for all into the most holy place and freed us from sin forever. He did this by offering his own blood instead of the blood of goats and bulls.
Heb 9:13  According to the Law of Moses, those people who become unclean are not fit to worship God. Yet they will be considered clean, if they are sprinkled with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a sacrificed calf.
Heb 9:14  But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. That's why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death.
Heb 9:15  Christ died to rescue those who had sinned and broken the old agreement. Now he brings his chosen ones a new agreement with its guarantee of God's eternal blessings!
Heb 9:16  In fact, making an agreement of this kind is like writing a will. This is because the one who makes the will must die before it is of any use.
Heb 9:17  In other words, a will doesn't go into effect as long as the one who made it is still alive.
Heb 9:18  Blood was also used to put the first agreement into effect.
Heb 9:19  Moses told the people all that the Law said they must do. Then he used red wool and a hyssop plant to sprinkle the people and the book of the Law with the blood of bulls and goats and with water.
Heb 9:20  He told the people, "With this blood God makes his agreement with you."
Heb 9:21  Moses also sprinkled blood on the tent and on everything else that was used in worship.
Heb 9:22  The Law says that almost everything must be sprinkled with blood, and no sins can be forgiven unless blood is offered.
Heb 9:23  These things are only copies of what is in heaven, and so they had to be made holy by these ceremonies. But the real things in heaven must be made holy by something better.
Heb 9:24  This is why Christ did not go into a tent that had been made by humans and was only a copy of the real one. Instead, he went into heaven and is now there with God to help us.
Heb 9:25  Christ did not have to offer himself many times. He wasn't like a high priest who goes into the most holy place each year to offer the blood of an animal.
Heb 9:26  If he had offered himself every year, he would have suffered many times since the creation of the world. But instead, near the end of time he offered himself once and for all, so that he could be a sacrifice that does away with sin.

Mat 26:26  During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, "Take this and eat it. This is my body."
Mat 26:27  Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to his disciples and said, "Take this and drink it.
Mat 26:28  This is my blood, and with it God makes his agreement with you. It will be poured out, so that many people will have their sins forgiven.
Mat 26:29  From now on I am not going to drink any wine, until I drink new wine with you in my Father's kingdom."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rom 3:21  But now, apart from the law, God's righteousness is revealed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets-
Rom 3:22  God's righteousness through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,
Rom 3:23  since all have sinned and continue to fall short of God's glory.
Rom 3:24  By his grace they are justified freely through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Rom 3:25  whom God offered as a place where atonement by Christ's blood could occur through faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because he had waited patiently to deal with sins committed in the past.
Rom 3:26  He wanted to demonstrate at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the person who has the faithfulness of Jesus.



Peace...Mark

Dave in Tenn:
Gallenwalsh, there are many things that Jesus accomplished by His death and the shedding of His blood.  Among them is as an example of what we have to go through to follow Him.  There's no argument between one thing that He accomplished and another thing that He accomplished.  As long as each is Truth according to scripture, then all are truth taken together.

I don't find anything terribly wrong with what you said, but I'm not a real bible scholar.  Jesus came as flesh (and blood).  He gave His life as a sacrifice.  He fulfilled the Law and the Prophets.  The Law and the Prophets required blood.  Yes, of course they didn't drain off a cup of blood from the sacrifice and let the beast live.  The sacrifice died.

Arc and Judy.  I'll just repeat that it's more important to understand what SOUL is than to argue over Hebrew to English translations.  To be honest here while I'm typing, I don't have anybody to 'teach' but myself.  Ray ALWAYS speak SCRIPTURALLY which is his strength as a teacher.  What has been valuable to me to understand what these SCRIPTURAL words actually mean and not the definition imposed on them by centuries of theology.  I'm closing in on 54.  If I've ever had an interesting theological discussion, it's been thirty years ago.  I was probably a little drunk then.  

Stick a fork in me...I'm done.        

Joel:
Lets not forget:
Hebrews, 13:20-21
And now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, equip you with all you need for doing his will, May he who became the great Shepherd of the sheep by an everlasting agreement between God and you, SIGNED WITH HIS BLOOD, produce in you through the power of Christ all that is pleasing to him, To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Joel
