In Gnostic tradition, Jesus neither sees his death as a tragedy, nor as a necessary act to save the world from its sins.
In Bible also we see that Jesus has the power to forgive sin (Matt.9:6) and save men (Luke 19:10) without shedding blood. Transfiguration (Matt. 17:2) also showed the power of Christ to change to spritual form and back without shedding blood. In the Lords prayer also we see that the forgiveness of sin is not linked with the shedding of blood.
As Christ and Father are one (John.10:30), is it not correct for all Christians who accept that salvation is through Christonly, to also accpt that salvation is not linked with shedding of blood in any way?
