The Fountain Filled with Blood

I don't bother worrying about sneers from people who profess following Christ but are ashamed of His words.

It is amazing that your conscience does not rattle when you say others are ashamed of the words of Christ. Clearly your consciences is seared with a hot iron. I have seen atheists profess that they admire the teachings of Christ and have in fact used these teachings in their daily lives. You on the contrary have openly condemned Christ teachings and started several threads advising people not the keep His commandments. You are the very definition of hypocrisy

Rajk999, How can a man "[W]alk by the Spirit" if he does not HAVE the Spirit?

How can he learn to "[W]alk by the Spirit" if he cherishes the thought that Jesus is dead ?

Your "gospel" of Ie. "Athiests can make good Christians" is wrong.

Your contempt for religious folks has pushed you over to an extreme of corrupting the New Testament.

Your words are darts in the eyes of God. If you were truly Christ-filled, you would shine His light and show us all how.

But you haven't been doing that, have you.

It is very interesting that the blood of Christ is seen as a power loosing (or releasing) and a liberation freeing.

1.) As a power loosing (or releasing):

"To Him who loves us and has RELEASED us from our sins by His blood." (Rev. 1:5)

This is like the breaking of chains or the releasing from the hold of knots in a binding rope.

2.) As a liberating power, a fresh new beginning:

"For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being shortsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his past sins." ( 2 Pet. 1:9)

In other words "Why are you still living that old way. You are shortsighted and have forgotten the fresh new beginning and clean break from the past that the precious blood of Christ afforded you."

Why should poets not write of a fountain filled with blood?
It is through the blood of Christ the believers can overcome accusation, regret, blame, remorse, hesitation and live in victory in Christ -

" . . . the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb . . . " (See Rev. 12:10,11)

Do you feel compelled to write yet another post containing yet another buried assertion to this made up error of “fountain of blood”?

Son, this might seem like an odd question, but it makes sense to me.

Do you eat black pudding?

Another joyful song about Christ's redemption:

"What! Not sing of blood divine?
What! Not tell to all mankind?
What! Not speak to hearts unclean
Of the precious living stream.

By this blood, God's life released,
Blood surpassing any beast's;
Perfect, spotless Lamb of God,
Incorruptible His blood.

Voice it has, this holy blood;
Pow'r possessed to speak with God;
Speaks it for us at the throne
With its glorious virtue shown.

Failure on our conscience is-
Conscience means a "knowing this"-
Causing us much grief and pain,
Telling us of every stain.

All the while we're unaware
Of the blood's effectual prayer.
Jesus' blood speaks of our case,
That we might receive His grace!

We need not dead works to bring,
Nor another offering.
Nothing else could please our God,
Heav'n is listening for His blood.

In His blood forgiveness shines;
Oh, 'tis glorious to find!
Isreal just atonement knew,
We have that and cleansing too.

Heart and mind are now at peace
Rest! Our conscience has been reached.
Never more we blush in shame,
We are washed from every stain.

Hallelujah! Fathomless!
All that's in His blood for us!
Sing we will, and sing we must;
In His blood is all our trust!

I think I have given you ample space to display your Pharisaical disdain for the joyful thankfulness of Christians.

Maybe I'll go on to show some folks equally enjoyable songs about the sprinkling of the blood. Then you'll probably have some sour grapes comment about those as well. Tis sad.

A little healthy debate is no problem Divegeester. But why do you have to tell lies?

“Fountain of blood” is a phrase which is made up by a member of your cult church and which stands in complete incongruence to “sprinkling”.

Just for a second, a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement, he beckons to me
And in a moment, the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers

And as you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burned

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers.
