what might be the purpose for their depiction - not sure volintary by the lamb would be the proper interpretation ... as a separate thread maybe the topic will not be scorned by deletion.

The Blood of the Lamb. Jesus is God's sacrificial lamb whose blood was shed for you!

What does the purpose of the Lamb have to do with Christian morality?

the illustration suggests sacrificing an innocent being as a purpose for the benefit of others - nor is it explained their blood being shed into a chalice. an immoral depiction for a nefarious religion.

the heavens can not take a life's spirit from them and their physiology would be of no value in your response.

that may be the thought of your book, as stated the heavens are not able to do as you suggest to a spirit being involatile and the itinerant did not commit suicide. and surly you do not suggest the chalice represents the last supper, blood from a wound.

truth be told, there is nothing in the illustration that truly relates to the 1st century though that is nothing new with regards to christianity. its no more excusable than any of the other multitude of dereliction's found in the c bible.

maybe more clearly would be - the humbridge of a sacrificial lamb has no place in the lite of day or especially from the heavens. a typical christian forgery and sad to imagine fallacy.

The Blood of the Lamb is directly in reference to Jesus being the "Passover" to cover sin and defeat death for the Christian, as was the first PASS OVER recorded in the Old Testament history. To be forgiven of sin and defeat death (the 2nd Death, death of one's eternal soul) one must come into contact with the blood of Christ.....that contract comes through the symbolic act of your own death, burial and resurrection in Water Baptism.

not to belabour the illustration, your explanation does not explain the chalice in the depiction or exactly why there is a lamb rather than an individual if what you are saying is correct ...

* also, the illustration, used in a video, was deleted from the thread when presented as a screen capture in reference for what it may have been depicting ... their motive for its deletion seemed inappropriate, whatever it was however the christian interpretation has yet to match any appropriate true 1st century event. the generic liberation theology, self determination those events being included.

The purpose for that depiction was just as an advertisement promoting the false teaching that Jesus was a perfect sacrifice whose suffering and death saved 'us', whoever 'us' is.

The way I see it "they', whoever 'they' is, celebrate the death of Jesus because it saved 'them', whoever 'them' is, by shutting Jesus up because if he lived longer "they" (foul and loathsome beasts and birds) of every nation would have lost their lofty positions of power over principalities as potentates of evil and darkness. His death insured that "they" could continue living smooth and easy lives off the backs and suffering of the brainwashed from birth for at least until his return.

sort of and also, though many might deny the thought there never was a majority of people that would sacrifice any life, animal or otherwise to promote their own well being or for any reason at all - the depiction erroneously carry's forward a notion of acceptability to sacrifice animals into the modern era. - as the morality of - the state religion of the roman empire.

You Folks really can't hide your hatred of Christianity for very long.

the events of the 1st century definitely did not include sacrificing animals for personal benefit or any reason otherwise - and certainly not to be promoted as is the depiction an endorsement going forward of the practice.

Can't read English? Asked and answered. It was a "lamb" that God commanded as the original blood sacrifice of the first PASS OVER.....just as death passed over the Hebrews when the sacrificial lamb's blood was used to to place a mark on those who were to be protected, the Christian is protected by the Blood of Christ.....the perfect sacrificial lamb of God, "Behold the Lamb of God......(Jesus)" -- John 1:36

One must be covered in the same fashion with blood from the Lamb of God.....aka, Christ Jesus, the Messiah of prophecy.

As pointed out one is born again after symbolically placing the old man to death in water baptism (one must be born again of water and the spirit -- John 3:5) This is where one comes into contact with the Blood of the Lamb.....to defeat death and rise as a new born void of sin. (1 John 3:5-6, Mark 1:4, Romans 6:4)

What was Jesus declaring when holding up the Chalice which represented His blood, and the bread which represented His body? Just as the Hebrews offered annual animal sacrifices to hide their sins from God (who cannot look upon sin)......Jesus is instructing His disciples and all those who would follow His teachings to Commune in remembrance of His teachings after His death until His return. Christians are to commune weekly in communion to remind them they are still covered in the Blood of the Lamb as promised by Christ when He was celebrating the Hebrew Passover (He lived and died as a practicing Jew of the Mosaic Covenant).

As instructed by the Apostles of Christ. The Lord's Supper or as more commonly titled "communion" is explained in detail by the Apostle of Christ. The one verse that does use such a translation as the Lord's Supper in place of communion is found in 1 Cor. 11:20. Paul is scolding and chastising members of the Church at Corinth for treating the Lord's Supper, i.e., Communion as an ordinary meal like they would have in their homes (they were making a party of the church gatherings on the 1st day of the week (sunday). -- 1 Cor. 11:20-34.

In this passage the Apostle explains the meaning of the Lord's Supper. The Bread that was broken represents the Body of Christ that was broken for us in our stead (vs. 23-24). The Cup aka your Chalice symbolizes the New Covenant for which Jesus shed His blood for the many (vs. 25, and Mark 14:24). What was in the cup (Chalice)? Fruit of the Vine (Mark 14:23-25). The Lord's Supper is taken weekly on the 1st day of each week (Acts 20:7)

Christianity is all "spiritualism" not "literalism"..........your spirit, aka your mind that eternal energy that controls this sac of flesh called a body (that will perish as does all things physical) is communing with the Holy Spirit of God every time he/she reads from the pages of the revealed word of God, as ALL SCIPTURE IS INSPIRED OF GOD (2 Tim. 3:16)

the illustration suggests sacrificing an innocent being as a purpose for the benefit of others -

Indeed. Very immoral and gross. And a strong indication that the Bible god was merely a product of the imagination of ignorant, superstitious, morally primitive humans.

Add to that the wholly immoral idea of someone else bearing the consequences of your own wrongdoings...

So childish and immoral...
