I think it does
No, it does not. It says what it says. THESE talk about "cleansing."
1 John 1:7
7but if we (A)walk in the Light as (B)He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and (C)the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Hebrews 1:3
3And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact (A)representation of His nature, and (B)upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made (C)purification of sins, He (D)sat down at the right hand of the (E)Majesty on high,
Titus 2:14
14who (A)gave Himself for us (B)to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to (C)purify for Himself a (D)people for His own possession, (E)zealous for good deeds.
Acts 15:9
9and (A)He made no distinction between us and them, (B)cleansing their hearts by faith
Hebrews 9:14
14how much more will (A)the blood of Christ, who through (B)the eternal Spirit (C)offered Himself without blemish to God, (D)cleanse your conscience from (E)dead works to serve (F)the living God?
Revelation 7:14
14I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the (A)great tribulation, and they have (B)washed their robes and made them (C)white in the (D)blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:14
7 14Blessed are those who (A)wash their robes, so that they may have the right to (B)the tree of life, and may (C)enter by the (D)gates into the city.
And, it mentions how to "enter the city." There are more such verses where these came from.
I guess you missed the word IF.... conditional
Titus 2:14 14 who (A)gave Himself for us (B)to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to (C)purify for Himself a (D)people for His own possession, (E)zealous for good deeds.
Seems to be a twisting of:
| Isaiah 59 (JPS) 20 And a redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith YHWH. Isaiah 59 (NASB) 20 "A (1) Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who (2) turn from transgression in Jacob," declares the LORD. cross-references
Romans 11 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "(1) THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." cross-references 1. Is 59:20 Ezekiel 18 30 "Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct," declares the Lord GOD. "(1) Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. 31 "(2) Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a (3) new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel? |
Notice how your verse is the opposite and has the Redeemer removing lawlessness instead of people taking responsibility for their own actions by turning away from transgression.
Hebrews 9:14 14 how much more will (A)the blood of Christ, who through (B)the eternal Spirit (C)offered Himself without blemish to God, (D)cleanse your conscience from (E)dead works to serve (F)the living God?
Unblemished? Really?
Leviticus 22
24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
Leviticus 22
(22) Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scabbed, or scurvy, ye shall not offer these unto YHWH, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto YHWH.
Matthew 27 (as well as Mark 15:15, John 19:1)
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
