"Rejects every attempt either to deny the literalness of the Blood or to minimize its efficacy and the necessity of its shedding in Christ's death on the cross. Such denial is a dangerous and devilish deception;"

Isaiah writes that His soul (life) was made an offering for sin, not His blood. "The Life of the flesh is in the blood", the blood being the symbol of life.

Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

blue,

But wasn't Christ, as the Pascal Lamb, the final Sacrifice which began with Abel's sacrifice? And wasn't the blood both of Abel's sacrifice and Christ's significant as that which atoned for sin? St. Paul refers to the Blood of Christ a lot. Do I have all of that wrong?

I don't think this gentleman is a heretic from what I've read here, just someone who wants to be sure we remember that 'it is finished' is the starting point of our redemption and salvation. I so hesitate in accusing anyone of heresy, because to some, I'm a heretic.

From what I know of this man he has spent his life in service to God, without scandal. Full Court, to take what he said so many years ago and by that imply that he is some sort of enemy of God's true teaching is way too facile, and way too lacking in perspective and charity.
