Where does the teaching that without blood there is no remission come from?
The teaching comes from Hebrews chapter 8, verse 22, which declares that without the shedding of blood there is no remission. It goes back to the Old Testament sacrifices, is a basic tenet of Scripture, and you cannot go around it.
Les explains that this truth is not something he invented; he directs listeners to Hebrews chapter 8, verse 22, where Scripture says that almost all things are by law associated with blood, and the last half of the verse states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission. He ties it back to the Old Testament sacrifices and calls it one of the basic tenets of Scripture, emphasizing that you cannot bypass it, go around it, over it, or under it. He also connects it to the precious blood of Christ, the lamb without blemish and without spot, ordained before the foundation of the world, as the price of our redemption.
