Yay, how to start ....
I had a conversation with my SDA friend today.
He has on numerous occasions presented to me the idea that all sin in the end will be put on Satan, and quoted a ritual in I guess Leviticus as basis for that belief.
Today he went further and speculated how the blood functioned as a kind of transport medium for sin. So the idea was that when sacrifices were made in the temple, the sin was moved from the person to the temple, and so once a year the priest would go in and cleanse the temple with special sacrifices, and so the sin would be moved away from the temple.
I can see how this idea explain the statements about cleansing the uncleanness of the temple and the holy things.
But for me, the idea has always been that blood paid the price for sin, rather than being a transport medium for sin.
Would be happy if someone here is trained enough to elaborate.
Blessings
