◕ Forgiveness comes without blood

In Mark 1:4 we read,

☛ “John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.”

In the next chapter in Mark 2, verse 5 we read the following,

☛ “When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Where was the blood atonement to remove the sins of the paralytic? This too took place long before the alleged crucifixion yet he was forgiven! What was the purpose behind the alleged sacrifice of Jesus exactly? Christians tell us that it is to facilitate the forgiveness of sins which is necessary for entrance into paradise. But we have just illustrated with two explicit verses that God is not incapable of forgiving sins without the shedding of blood. Be it the blood of Jesus, sheep, ram, bulls or cows. If God can forgive without blood then that clearly renders the alleged crucifixion redundant and simply cruel, inhumane and barbaric.

In Luke 15, verses 11 to 32 we read about the parable of the Prodigal Son. In this story the son runs away from the father and goes into difficulty and suffering. He later comes to his senses and makes a return to his father. The father is overjoyed and calls for celebration. The son confesses that he sinned against heaven and against his beloved father, but because of his realisation and repentance the father remarks,

☛ “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found”.

This parable captures the true and original teaching of Jesus about forgiveness and atonement. One has only to make a sincere resolution not to commit past errors and sincerely pray and ask God for forgiveness to earn His pleasure and be cleansed of sins.

Blood is not necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
