Blood Work in body of Christ seems to have 2 purposes:
- provide nourishment(grace & truth) to the body
- cleanse the body of all impurities(laws & lies)
God our Saviour will also have two things:
- all men saved(graced), and
- all men made aware(truthed) what saved from: law
JC: My Father and I work hitherto --> the Sabbath
Blood Shed (Sacrifice) seems to have one purpose:
- kill(law) the body, including the head of the body
God their Destroyer will have one thing:
- willing ignorance, blind faith, faithful unto death
Blood work does eventually purge the conscience of all sin
Blood shed up to horses' bridal doesn't purge conscience

Actually it's been documented that blood letting (aka shedding blood) can help with body regulation. Sssoooo blood not shed doesn't have as good a benefit.

You are trying to spiritualize concepts, making your head and thoughts too hard, similar to Pharoah back in Moses' days.
Blood does not purge the conscience. See Joseph in Genesis. Most people know their sins.
Blood does not cleanse the body of all impurities.
Only the work of God through Jesus Christ by the (power of) the Holy Spirit in our hearts will complete any purpose.
"will" is the operative word.
KEEP IT SIMPLE, mister. Are you saved? simply.
"LOVE" must be the result. always. forever. Grace is a description of the Event.

I feel your question requires a separate 'Christianity' section rather than just 'R & S' since many will not know what to make of your question!
In short, blood represents life - "For the life of the flesh is in the blood..." (Lev. 17:11).
What is the consequence of sin? "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."(Romans 6:23)
Sacrifices did not provide anything except reminding the sinner that the sinner was supposed to be in the place of the animal to make him realize the gravity of sin. The only sacrifice that mattered was the sacrifice of Christ who paid the penalty for the sins of all.
"Blood work" is the treatment of sin and paves the way for removal of sin and sinners. Anything wrong with that?
Whatever you mean by "JC: My Father and I work hitherto --> the Sabbath", Jesus did not break the Sabbath.

The beginning of man we were formed from the dust (dirt) of the ground, because of sin the ground became cursed. When we die we are returned (buried) to the ground.
When Cain killed his brother Abel, it was Abel's blood that cried out to GOD. This tells me that there is "LIFE IN THE BLOOD"
JESUS is the word made flesh, HE had the SPIRIT of GOD with HIM. When HE was pierced in the side, water and blood flowed down HIS body and down the tree on which HE was nailed to and absorbed into the ground.
This tells me how the dead in Christ shall rise, and this is how the HOLY SPIRIT was pored out unto the believers that believed in their hearts that JESUS is the SON of GOD.

I would tend to disagree, as the supposed reason for blood shed from the beginning was to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice and the shedding of his blood. From your arguments it would appear that you are trying to make a distinction that theologically doesn't exist.

blood was shed even before the law. where there was no law sin was not imputed, but nevertheless many died. for the sin of one [Adam] many died, but by the death of one [JESUS] many live...............HIS blood had no sin so therefore it was excepted by GOD[the FATHER] for atonement for the sins of all who called on HIS name......
so it's not just blood as we know blood.....JESUS blood was the spirit of GOD given to redeem man kind and bring us back from where ADAM took us from. hope you can understand how the blood work.....

Intent is the difference. God created us then killed nearly every living mammal in a great flood. That is Blood Shed. (aka Murder). People take communion and relish in the times where god was a murderer. That is blood work.
