Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:18-19 KJVAnd almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Hebrews 9:22
Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
1 Peter 1:18-19 MSG

And thus, the thing that always bothers me about how most churches treat sin: they forget what it cost to pay the price.
TB, that’s the fault of the pastors involved, and you’re right. And it’s a fault I have no intention of committing.
