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?
What happens to the soul when you die, before revelation, and judgment day? Is your soul in limbo until judgment day?
Will we know if the antichrist is here, the man of sin, the son of perdition? Also will we go thru any part of the 70th week?
My mother passed away and I find myself wanting a clear answer to where she has gone. To a deep sleep until God comes again or to some where in the heavens? Thank for taking the time in answering my question.
My question is about paraphrase bibles. My Pastor likes to use one when he preaches. I work under this man in the ministry. My concern is if we teach or preach the word of God from a paraphrase bible, how will sinners know the truth of the individual words?
