Without the Shedding of Blood

1 Kings 8
I have read this chapter many times... with AWE!
Solomon had finished building the temple after 7 years. And after some additional time, they were sacrificing sheep and oxen while bringing the ark up to the temple....verse 5 says...
King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

TRUTH

John 18:37... Jesus is brought before Pilate and interrogated to some extent, then Pilate said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the TRUTH. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all.

Body of Christ

The Apostle Paul is the only one who uses the term “Body of Christ” to refer to the “Church” in the New Testament, 1 Cor. 12:27; Rom. 12:5; Eph. 1:22-23; Eph. 4:15-16. Did you know that? Check it out... you won’t find it anywhere else. The word “church” in the Greek New Testament is ekklesia. It does not mean the building on Main Street. It means an assembly of called out people. Israel in the wilderness under Moses is referred to by Stephen in Acts 7:38 as “the church in the wilderness” ...a people CALLED OUT of Egypt (the world).

The Doctrine of Original Sin

The doctrine of original sin is a humbling truth revealed in scripture. It declares that every human being, apart from the Lord Jesus Christ, enters the world in a state of sin inherited from Adam, our first father. This is not merely a matter of copying Adam's example, but of sharing in his corrupted nature from the moment of our conception.
