Moses said "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and ive given it to make atonement for your sins."
Isaiah predicted it too-chapter 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 "He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man. He will be despised and rejected. He shall lay down his life to make atonement for our sins. He shall see his seed and prosper spiritually.

Greytower and Troll the two cover the errors. Christians have a sparkling slate by using forgiveness in grace no longer by using works. it is replaced into achieved on the go whilst Jesus mentioned "it is complete". Say case in point 2,000 years from now a individual finds a replica of the hot international testomony by using the Watchtower, could the guy that finds it say; "Oh, right this is the actual English version that Christians believed in the twentieth century? probably! yet they could be incorrect maximum Christians immediately that are scholars of God's be conscious reject this translation. could that theoretical concern ensue and persons say that different bibles have been in step with it such as you're asserting with the Q writing. available. yet they could be incorrect. Your suppositions are to date off that it is ridiculous. many people do no longer in trouble-free terms like the Pauline epistles. for a protracted time I too did no longer understand them or how those worked.

This quote from Leviticus has to do with animal sacrifices. The blood of the sacrificed animal is used for atonement. It also relates to a prohibition of eating/drinking the blood of the animal.
Because the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, there can be no more animal sacrifices. So atonement of sins is now by other means, such as prayer and repentance. The use of blood, or the shedding of blood for that purpose is now strictly forbidden.

Moses said "The life of the flesh is in the blood,
doctors use it to save people lives
what a weird concept >Moses said -without the shedding of blood there is no atonement forgiveness of sins

David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess it wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

As the text of the question says; life is in the blood.
A temporary blood atonement was made for the Israelites yearly thru their blood atonement via the sacrifice of animals. A permanent atonement for all (then, now,and future generations) was offered by Christ death on the cross.

Yes. The Lord Jesus' blood is our atonement for sin. Christ's blood is our salvation just as it was for the Israelis w/ the blood on the doorposts when the angel of death passed over as told in the book of Exodus. God has to see tht we are saved and covered under the blood of Jesus. Salvation is a gift, all we must do is pray to God and accept His gift and repent of our sins.

Leviticus 17:11 -- First, the passage does not say that blood is the only means to atone for souls, and, in fact, Torah lists several other means -- e.g. flour (Lev 5:11), money (Exodus 30:15-16), jewelry (Numbers 31:50) or putting fire from the altar in a censure (Numbers 17:11). In addition, Hosea 14:3 says that our lips (i.e. prayers from our lips) can substitute for bulls (i,.e. blood sacrifice), Micah (6:6-8) says G-d wants a good heart rather than blood sacrifices, and the both Isaiah (1:11) and the Psalmist (40 and 50) say that G-d does not need or care about blood sacrifices. Blood is just one of many means for atonement.
Secondly, Leviticus 17:11 speaks of atonement ("kapare" in Hebrew) for our souls, but not for 'sin' -- i.e. an act of intentional wickedness. What else could atonement be for? The Bible evidently has additional uses for the word, because the Bible speaks of atonement for acts committed by mistake (which we do not usually consider sins), and also speaks of making atonement for the altar (Exodus 29:36).
Finally, the verse is taken out of context. Verses 10 to 14 say (KJV): 10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
In other words, the verse has nothing to do with salvation. It is about the dietary laws -- specifically, the comments about the life being in the blood are an explanation for the prohibition against eating blood.
As for the Isaiah reference, "See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- 15 so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand" -- the servant may be the Messiah, but is not Jesus: a) contrary to verse 2, Jesus is never described as physically unattractive; b) far from being rejected and despised as verse 3 says, the Gospel writers describe him as being popular; c) contrary to verse 7, Jesus did a lot of talking; and d) instead of being non-violent (verse 9), Jesus overturned tables, chased people from their jobs, and promised to bring swords.
So then, while the first impression on reading a Christian translation of Isaiah 53 may be to think of Jesus, looking deeper shows that the Hebrew text does not sound like Jesus, and the context shows shows many differences from what the Christian Bible says about Jesus.
Logic indicates that the servant is actually a representation of Israel.

I do agree. Moses know only the blood covers sin and Isaiah discribed Jesus Christ.
We are worth a Son to God. We needn't give our blood because of His blood. Praise God !

Yes I believe this. That's why Jesus came to die for us. He shed His holy and perfect blood so we can be cleansed from our sin. Take a look at Old Testament prophecy and what the New Testament says about Jesus.
