'The god who exacts the last drop of blood from his Son so that his just anger, evoked by sin, may be appeased, is not the God revealed by and in Jesus Christ. And if he is not the God of Jesus, he does not exist.'' Brennan Manning

‘And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding blood is no remission.’’ Hebrews 9:22
The fundamental principle in which the Law deals with sins is expressed in these words apart from ‘the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.’’ Blood is sometimes substituted for death being that blood is essential to life. For when blood is shed, forgiveness flows. That was the basis of atonement under the Old Covenant.
