Quotes from Dr. John MacArthur ~ MACARTHUR SAID: "It was His death that was efficacious . . . not His blood . . . Christ did not bleed to death. The shedding of blood had nothing to do with bleeding . . . it simply means death . . . NOTHING IN HIS HUMAN BLOOD SAVES. . . It is not His blood that I love . . . it is Him. It is not His bleeding that saved me, but His dying." "It is not the actual liquid that cleanses us from our sins, but the work of redemption Christ accomplished in pouring it out." "A better translation would be "through His own blood." ... Nothing is said which would indicate that Christ carried His actual physical blood with Him into the heavenly sanctuary." His comment about Hebrews 9:12 " "...the shedding of blood represents the shedding of life, i.e., death ... NT references to the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ are references to His death." "...the shedding of blood in and of itself is an INSUFFICIENT SACRIFICE. Christ had not only to shed His blood, but to die ... Without His death, his blood had no saving value." THE WORD OF GOD SAYS: “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” Genesis 9:6 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. Leviticus 17:11 "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect." 1 Peter 1:18-19 "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us" Hebrews 9:12 "“Without shedding of blood is no remission (of sin).” Hebrews 9:22 " Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:9 John MacArthur places NO value on the blood of Jesus Christ, but the shed blood of Jesus Christ is the only blood sufficient to cover all sin once and for all. "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Hebrews 9:11-14
