If our salvation is secure, how can Christ blot out our name?
I understand the Bible says that God requires a blood sacrifice (Hebrews 9:22). I have heard preachers say that if Jesus had not shed any blood, then his death would not have been a valid sacrifice. Why does God require a blood sacrifice? I know the life of the flesh is in the blood (you can not live without blood), but you can die without bleeding. What is the significance of the blood sacrifice?
If Adam sinned and fell, why should I need salvation? How can the sin of Adam affect me? What does the Psalmist refer to when he says my mother conceived me in sin? Please explain the concept of natural sin clearly.
I have two questions:
How do we know that the 1611 King James Bible is the divinely inspired one, and not an earlier English translation?
Were the italicized words in the original Hebrew and Greek, and if not are they inspired?
