Le 17:11
For the
life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Ro 6:23
For the
wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ro 8:3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Comment:
Neo I am not certain on this one.
The Bible says life is in the blood and that sin is death.
So if the life in the blood, were one to begin to die it would be due to sin.
If there were no sin in the blood there would be no death.
This sin is passed on through siblings like some disease.
I am not sure where the sin is, in the blood or the flesh.
But the blood needs atonement maybe because of the flesh.
"soul is in the blood". I am not exactly where sin resides but the blood or flesh are likely candidates.
If this soul (blood) is in need of atonement and forgiveness of sins it may be sin or death in the blood. The blood is an access point to the flesh and bone.
Sin is death and life is in the blood it would make sense that death would be in the blood too and thus sin also. It seems it is our blood and flesh that needs atonement.
This was why Jesus could not remain in hell. Because he had no sin in his blood.
I am not really sure about some of this (or my memory fails me) and if you could shed some light on the subject Neo or anyone I would like to learn more.
The Aztec were blood hungry... It seems blood is an almost universal substrate for religious ritual.
Life was the gift of God so it would make sense that life would be given back in an offering to appease God. The existence of death in the world would have given the inclination to perceive that original sin was inherent somewhere within ourselves.
That lust boils the blood and provides an occasion for the flesh seems to be the intent in the original sin idea.
So I am really not certain if sin actually resides in the blood (with the soul/life) I may have misspoken on that Neo.
What are your thoughts on it?
