I'm just curious @ whitejoe, I'm a budding Christian and I try to make the bible the standard for any doctrine I believe in as a Christian. I always take every opportunity to learn as well as to teach. My bible makes me understand that:
New International Version (©1984)
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace - Ephesians 1:7
There are some Charismatic and Pentecostals that use the practice (now a cliché) of pleading the blood over people that are unsaved and things they want cleansed or delivered. Just about anything gets the blood pleaded over it. But this is an unbiblical practice; nowhere do we read of the apostles "pleading the Blood". We see no such practice by the apostles or instructions in the epistles to do any such sprinkling or pleading of Christ's blood on anyone (even those demon possessed).
In the Old Testament it was a physical act by the priest to put the blood on the altar, not moving it from one place to another. It is the same principle in the New Testament, one cannot move it on to those people or things for cleansing by speaking, (pleading it). The blood represents the life of the person; we cannot plead His life on others? Only the high priest handled the blood to go on the mercy seat for the forgiveness of sins, Jesus is the one who sprinkled His blood, not us. We can’t physically touch it today nor can we apply it somewhere else spiritually, since we are not the high priest, Jesus is.
He said this is my body pointing to the Passover lamb motif in the Old Testament as a type and shadow. He was given as a lamb on a specific day and time for a specific purpose. If it was done any other way or day it would not have been acceptable. Just as John the baptizer introduced him as "the LAMB that takes away the sins of the world". Christ fulfilled all the Old Testament types and shadow including the scapegoat but it was the Passover lamb that is of the most importance. He was judged instead of us, so he passed over our judgment and we go from death to life.
Hebrews 9:7-14 has a deep revelation on Christ sacrifices and his blood. Scripture makes it crystal clear the blood of Christ unlike the high priest type in the OT did was offered once and for all, not repeatedly like the OT. Hebrews 9:11-12. By His death He poured out His life and died for our sins we would be reconciled by it. This was done as a propitiation to the Father almost 2,000 years ago and is still effective today. The atonement was for man and unto God the Father. Propitiation for sins is always toward God, not toward man. The Father accepted His payment for our sins. We ourselves do not touch the blood, it is applied to our lives by the high priest who is Christ when we believe in faith to receive his Atonement. Eph.1:7; Col. 1:14 says "in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins". and Rev. 1:5: "To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood". This occurred almost 2,000 years ago.
Stop pleading the blood in a religious manner because the blood had already being pleaded and shed for the remission of sin. There is no magical power in an unending application of the blood of Jesus for the numerous uses it is applied for today. It was for our redemption, cleansing and forgiveness of sins only. To use it as such is to have a distorted view of its application today and an irreverent understanding of it being precious, incorruptible and holy.

Re: A new thread for NNPC Hopefuls
Ezme...since the bible's doctrine is what you believe in, where does it say in your bible that the NNPC 2010 recruitment cannot be resurrected? Where did God say it has to make Logical sense to man before He performs a miracle? Where did God say some things like the NNPC 2010 recruitment are beyond his miracle working scope?You can go on with your puerile gabblings about how people have become idle "hoping against hope" for a job which seem beyond possible, but except you are a compulsive scoffer you would have been to see that the peeps here are not as foolish as you made them out to be. Now your conceit has taken a differnt dimension, even ABCD your mentor has cooled off, but here you are- a self acclaimed budding christian making a pastime out of mocking people's faith...you are as the Bible describe your ilk- "wise in your own conceit". ....And before you start massaging your ego about the last post you made on the use of the blood (which, by the way you copied from GOSHEN360 on ) let me state that you started on the wrong foot , so even if your pungent reputation has gone ahead of you...nothing you will ever post will make sense again
