The Confessing Seventh-day Adventist

Does the blood of the sacrifice defile the sanctuary?
Is there one biblical verse to substantiate the theological position held by our church?

Is it biblically plausible that Sin can reign beyond the death of the sacrifice to permeate into the blood which is the receipt of the innocence death in the sinners stead , having paid in full the transgression of the law with its life.
How many of our churches members are aware of the modification and omissions from the church's early literature in relation to this sanctuary doctrine. It is as if by a miracle that even though the theological pillars have been removed , the structure of the sanctuary doctrine still stands, how is this so?
If anyone knows of a biblical exposition as to how all the blood of the sacrifice defiled anything will they please put a post in response .
If we are to believe that Sin was carried into the sanctuary through the blood of the sacrifice or the eating of the meat as stated in "faith I live by ",page 206 of Ellen White's writings, how do we explain every biblical exposition that renders the meat and the blood only most holy to God. Shall we mix the leaven of sin with with the blood of the sacrifice to profane the holy offering and disobey the commandment of God? :

Hi Tim; welcome to this forum. I believe you're mistaken about the blood of the sacrifice defiling the sanctuary being a theological position held by the Seventh-day Adventist church today. It's not a part of the fundamental beliefs.

Tim wrote:How many of our churches members are aware of the modification and omissions from the church's early literature in relation to this sanctuary doctrine.

Are you surprised that some Adventists have received a greater understanding of the truth? "The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day" (Proverbs 4:18).

As of this day, I am unaware that the church has shifted from this fundamental belief. The sanctuary doctrine unequivocally testifies to it's belief. If we have changed our theological position, surely other questions arise, such as why there is sin in heaven now and how did it get there?
Ellen White clearly states that sin, not just the record only, is in the heavenly sanctuary.This is the key principal in the doctrine of cleansing the heavenly sanctuary. Does that mean then, that she was wrong when she said in Faith I Live By, page 206 and page 266 (any edition until the ninth) of The Great Controversy "As the sins of the people were anciently transferred in figure, to the earthly sanctuary by the blood of the sin offering, so our sins are, in fact, transferred the heavenly sanctuary by the blood of Christ"). How was the Old Testament sanctuary defiled if the blood of the sacrifice did not carry it in? The truth is, as I stated earlier- the pillars that support the doctrine have been selectively edited but the sanctuary doctrine still stands, despite their being no biblical support to rest the structure upon. According to the Bible, the blood of the sacrifice was always Most Holy to God and was NEVER mingled with the leaven of sin to defile the sanctuary. I consulted with our media department to see if we still promote the historical sanctuary doctrine and I was asssurred they still do.
Your own reply contradicts that we no longer hold to the belief that the blood of the sacrifice defiles the heavenly sanctuary. this is seen in fundamental belief #24, which in part states "It is a work of investigative judgment which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary on the Day of Atonement. In that typical service the sanctuary was cleansed with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the heavenly things are purified with the perfect sacrifice of the blood of Jesus".

Did the blood of Christ defile the sanctuary as she stated on page 266 of great controversy any edition up to the ninth or didnt it ?
The General conference has told me NO..... it did not.....but, She said it did?
. The bible says NO IT DID NOT is was MOST HOLY BY EVERY BIBLICAL ACCOUNT.
so what a problem for the white estate, WHOM say that,THOSE WORDS have been removed from the literature and for the conference that says we dont ACTUALLY teach this historical view anymore. THINK ABOUT THIS.... WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST.I have researched over twenty NON BIBLICAL statements found in her writings related to this doctrine which the CHURCH WOULD CHANGE TOMMORROW except it means the prophet can no longer stand,as credible.
See if sin could be in the presence of God in the temple on earth, BY ALL BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS. Then ask yourself, is sin in Heaven, and needing cleansing after the blood of Christ has paid in full to TAKE IT AWAY?
THIS IS THE GOSPEL according to the bible . Ask your local minister to explain from the bible the blood of the sacrifice defiling the temple. I am Yet to HEAR a THUS SAYS THE LORD.

I believe that you have overlooked the meaning of the words, "in figure," which I have highlighted for you, as they clearly make the language of literal sin transfer symbolic.

I'd be happy to hear whatever explanation you have in mind.

Tim wrote:The truth is, as I stated earlier- the pillars that support the doctrine have been selectively edited but the sanctuary doctrine still stands, despite their being no biblical support to rest the structure upon.

Didn't Christ teach with parables in the New Testament that are also without any interpretive foundation in Scripture?

Tim wrote:According to the Bible, the blood of the sacrifice was always Most Holy to God and was NEVER mingled with the leaven of sin to defile the sanctuary.

Yes, that much is true. However, are you sure that there is absolutely no conceptual link between the sin confessed on the head of a sin offering and the blood of the slaughtered sin offering that was carried into the sanctuary? (Leviticus 4:3-5,27-30).

Ellen White made this connection:

The ministration of the earthly sanctuary consisted of two divisions; the priests ministered daily in the holy place, while once a year the high priest performed a special work of atonement in the most holy, for the cleansing of the sanctuary. Day by day the repentant sinner brought his offering to the door of the tabernacle and, placing his hand upon the victim's head, confessed his sins, thus in figure transferring them from himself to the innocent sacrifice. The animal was then slain. "Without shedding of blood," says the apostle, there is no remission of sin. "The life of the flesh is in the blood." Leviticus 17:11. The broken law of God demanded the life of the transgressor. The blood, representing the forfeited life of the sinner, whose guilt the victim bore, was carried by the priest into the holy place and sprinkled before the veil, behind which was the ark containing the law that the sinner had transgressed. By this ceremony the sin was, through the blood, transferred in figure to the sanctuary. In some cases the blood was not taken into the holy place; but the flesh was then to be eaten by the priest, as Moses directed the sons of Aaron, saying: "God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation." Leviticus 10:17. Both ceremonies alike symbolized the transfer of the sin from the penitent to the sanctuary. —The Great Controversy, p. 418.

I believe that the required task of all naysayers to the pioneers' teachings on the sanctuary is to summarize the entire sanctuary parable and then interpret the whole yearly round of symbolic rituals using only Scripture so that the entire parable makes perfect sense holistically.

Please be settled in spirit as you read this response.
IN FIGURE symbolic or not, sin is not mingled with THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE. If it is, quote ONE verse because not one theologian has ever been able to do it in the history of this earth.
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO BE STILL AND HEAR.
BY EVERY BIBLICAL account it was the unconfessed sins and abominations done in the land that defiled the sanctuary.
that is why GOD WILL DESTROY THOSE WHO DEFILE THE SANCTUARY FOR IT IS HOLY
PLEASE QUOTE JUST ONE PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS OTHERWISE.
My conviction to these absolute truths stem not from ignorance as I have studied this for thousands of hours and am in the process of bringing it before Division. LISTEN CAREFULLY; THEY HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BIBLICAL VERSE CANNOT BE RENDERRED. I was told that Ellen White was not a theologian and these things she did not get quite right. I have 13,000 word report supported by over 150 bible verses, all which testify contrary to the sanctuary. IF THE NECK IS STIFF THEN THE HEART IS HARD, PLEASE RESPOND WITH A VERSE FROM THE BIBLE. Does the bible refer to the blood of the sacrifice as representing the forfeited life of the sinner? REALLY. Jesus said, this is MY BLOOD SHED FOR YOU .Grace is a gift we play no part in the ATONEMENT other then excepting and then living according to HIS divine principles.
Sin in the presence of God
It is important to note that only the high priest was allowed access to the Holy and Most Holy Place in the temple, after he had meticulously followed the purification process of offering up sacrifices for his own sins and that of the people. The penitent sinner was left standing near the door of the tabernacle, which in itself is a witness to the fact that sin has no place in the presence of God. Why? Because of the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin, therefore a remembrance of sin was before the people every year. The Day of Atonement came round every year, another goat was sacrificed and another goat was led out into the wilderness whereby the sin laden goats accumulated year after year.
When we look at the new covenant however, we begin to see a clear and precise differentiated distinction, which also reverberated in the words of John the Baptist “behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world”.
John Saw the Lamb of God as one who removes the enmity between us and God. He saw Jesus Christ as our reconciliation, our peace offering, to bring us back into the presence of God. The New Covenant echoes this sentiment by the testimony which states, “Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more”.
It is in this knowledge that Jesus Christ bore the iniquity of us all on the altar of the cross where he poured out his blood, and by his stripes we are healed. It is in the understanding of the cleansing purity of Christ's blood that the penitent sinner no longer needs to be anchored at the door of the tabernacle. For that which the blood of bulls and goats could not do, our high priest of the order of Melchizedek did once for all by offering up his own blood ,this is something to which the Aaronic covenant never symbolised in its priestly ministry. It is for this reason the Bible states a change of the law was necessitated. The Bible also testifies that Christ made his way within the veil, to be seated at the right hand of Majesty in the heavens until his enemies are made his footstool, and that in Christ Jesus we too can sit in heavenly places. This is the key difference between the two covenants .The first could not take away sin as the barrier remained; “The veil” was necessitated for our well-being that we not be consumed by the glory of God.
There is no biblical symbiosis between the glory of God and sin being present in the one place, which was echoed in the shrill cry that Christ gave from Calvary “my God, my God, why have you forsaken me”. It is for this reason we are able to comprehend why the veil in the second temple at Christ's death was ripped in two as Jesus Christ removed the enmity that lay between a sinful humanity and a Holy God, he paid in full the price of our sin by his atoning death and sinless pure life. By our High Priests own blood reconciliation was made having removed sins as far from the East is from the West ,He cast them in the depths of the sea that there be no more remembrance of sin , which King David petitioned God for in the 51st Psalm.
This is testified in the Word of God as follows....my words are in italics
(Heb 7:26) For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; (Heb 7:27) Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. But by comparison to the old covenant (Lev 4:3) If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering. (Lev 4:5) And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the Lord. Furthermore (Lev 16:2) the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: (Heb 10:1-4) For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (Heb 9:11-12) But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, As John testified (John 1:29) Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (Heb 9:11-12) 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. (Heb 10:23) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) God has fulfilled his promise as he said Heb 8:12-13 I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. (Heb 9:14-15) 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? And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (Rom 3:23-25) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (Eph 1:13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Rom 6:3-4) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Heb 6:19-20) Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
(2 Tim 4:3-5) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be Aturned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For (2 Cor 3:14-16) their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
But we are (Titus 1:9) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. (2 Cor 3:15-16) But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. (Heb 10:19-23) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.
As (Matt 27:50-51) Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised ;) (Rom 5:8-11) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. But earnestly consider this, if (Heb 10:28-29) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: (Rom 5:20-21) Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. as ( 2 Peter 3:16) some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
(2 Peter 2:1)But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, Consider then (Heb 10,29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Rom 5,11 , but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. For (Eph 2:4-6) God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That (Ps 103:12) as far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. For (Rom 8:1) there is therefore now to no condemnation them which are in Christ Jesus, Having cast our (Mic 7:19) sins into the depths of the sea (Eph 2:13-16) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (2 Cor 5:19) That God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Jesus Christ (Rom 5:10). having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: (Rom 5:9) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Heb 5:8-11) Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
(Matt 13:15) For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (Mark 4:23) If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
(Heb 9:23-28) It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear he second time without sin unto salvation as (Rom 5, 11) we have now received the atonement.

I ask any Seventh Day Adventist minister to prove from the Bible that David’s prayer to God in psalm 51 was not redeemed fully by the precious blood Christ shed on Calvary.
Ps 51:1-12
51 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
KJV may GOD BLESS YOU IN ALL THAT "THIS GOSPEL BRINGS"

Tim wrote:IN FIGURE symbolic or not, sin is not mingled with THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE. If it is, quote ONE verse because not one theologian has ever been able to do it in the history of this earth.

Please be accurate. Sister White never said that sin was mingled with the blood of the sacrifice. She taught that sin was inseparably linked to the blood of the sacrifice. This link is obviously Biblical. It is easily understood by grasping Matthew 27:21-25.

Matthew 27 (New King James Version)
21 The governor answered and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?”
They said, “Barabbas!”
22 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.”
25 And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.”

Now let's compare this literal translation with the same key verses in the New Living Translation:

24 Pilate saw that he wasn’t getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours!”
25 And all the people yelled back, “We will take responsibility for his death—we and our children!”

So quite literally, the blood of Christ can also represent the sin (culpability, guilt) of those who are responsible for His death.

I say again: if you can summarize the entire sanctuary parable and interpret it also, then I'd like to hear your explanation. Or if you prefer someone else's commentary, then please post a link. I believe I'm reasonable. I agree with everything overwhelmingly obvious: the blood of Christ most often represents cleansing, redemption and atonement (Ephesians 2:13, Hebrews 9:14, 10:19, 13:12, 13:20, 1 Peter 1:18-19, 1 John 1:7, Revelation 1:5). But you haven't even scratched the surface of what the sanctuary parable means.

Tim wrote:BY EVERY BIBLICAL account it was the unconfessed sins and abominations done in the land that defiled the sanctuary.

There is no need to shout. Furthermore, aren't you contradicting yourself here? Haven't you already stressed that the blood of an acceptable sacrifice cleanses? So what was the point of the priest taking some of the blood of the sacrifice into the tent of meeting and dipping his finger in the blood and sprinkling some of it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil of the sanctuary, and also putting some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the LORD that is in the tent of meeting? (Leviticus 4:5-7).

So was all that sprinkling just for a repentant sinner that sinned unintentionally in any of the LORD’s commandments or do the verses that I have cited also imply some sort of provisional cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary?

THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS MADE BY ELLEN WHITE EXPLAIN EXPLAIN IT ALL....
The most important part of the daily ministration was the service performed in behalf of individuals. The repentant sinner brought his offering to the door of the tabernacle, and placing his hand upon the victim's head, confessed his sins, thus in figure transferring them from himself to the innocent sacrifice. By his own hand the animal was then slain, and the blood was carried by the priest into the holy place and sprinkled before the veil, behind which was the ark containing the law that the sinner had transgressed. By this ceremony the sin was, through the blood, transferred in figure to the sanctuary. In some cases the blood was not taken into the holy place; but the flesh was then to be eaten by the priest. . . . Both ceremonies alike symbolized the transfer of the sin from the penitent to the sanctuary. {FLB 198.2}
Such was the work that went on day by day throughout the year. The sins of Israel being thus transferred to the sanctuary the holy places were defiled, and a special work became necessary for the removal of the sins. God commanded that an atonement be made for each of the sacred apartments, as for the altar, to "cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel." Leviticus 16:19. {FLB 198.3}

But how could there be sin connected with the sanctuary, either in heaven or upon the earth?
As the sins of the people were anciently transferred, in figure, to the earthly sanctuary by the blood of the sin offering, so our sins are, in fact, transferred to the heavenly sanctuary by the blood of Christ.{FLB 206.5}

The blood, representing the forfeited life of the sinner, whose guilt the victim bore, was carried by the priest into the holy place and sprinkled before the veil, behind which was the ark containing the law that the sinner had transgressed. By this ceremony the sin was, through the blood, transferred in figure to the sanctuary. In some cases the blood was not taken into the holy place; but the flesh was then to be eaten by the priest, as Moses directed the sons of Aaron, saying: "God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation." Leviticus 10:17. Both ceremonies alike symbolized the transfer of the sin from the penitent to the sanctuary. {GC 418.1}
Such was the work that went on, day by day, throughout the year. The sins of Israel were thus transferred to the sanctuary, and a special work became necessary for their removal.

The ministration of the earthly sanctuary consisted of two divisions: the priests ministered daily in the holy place, while once a year the high priest performed a special work of atonement in the most holy, for the cleansing of the sanctuary. Day by day the repentant sinner brought his offering to the door of the tabernacle, and, placing his hand upon the victim's head, confessed his sins, thus in figure transferring them to the innocent sacrifice. The animal was then slain, and the blood or the flesh was carried by the priest into the holy place. Thus the sin was, in figure, transferred to the sanctuary. Such was the work that went forward throughout the year. The continual transfer of sins to the sanctuary, rendered a further work of ministration necessary in order for their removal. On the tenth day of the seventh month the high priest entered the inner apartment, or most holy place, which he was forbidden, on pain of death, to enter at any other time. The cleansing of the sanctuary then performed completed the yearly round of service. {4SP 263.1}

FIGURE IS ONLY IN RELATION TO THE BLOOD OF OTHERS NOT CHRIST, READ CAREFULLY THESE STATMENTS......THE DOCTRINE IS A DISGRACE TO THE DENONINATION.... AS IS THIS NEXT STATEMENT.

The blood of Christ, while it was to release the repentant sinner from the condemnation of the law, was not to cancel the sin; it would stand on record in the sanctuary until the final atonement; so in the type the blood of the sin offering removed the sin from the penitent, but it rested in the sanctuary until the day of atonement. {CCh 348.1}

I AM SORRY IF YOU THINK I AM NOT BEING HONEST... WHY DO YOU THINK I AM INFLUENCED BY OTHERS ,YOU HAVE A BIBLE READ IT FOR YOURSELF AND DISCOVER THE TRUE GOSPEL.IT IS TIME THE CHURCH STOPS COVERING UP WHAT THEY KNOW IS WRONG. SIN HAS NOT PROCURED A PLACE IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE OF THE UNIVERSE. IT IS BIBLICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE ONLY WAY ACCORDING TO THE CHURCH THE SANCTUARY WAS DEFILED WAS BY THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE, WHOM HAD ALREADY PAID IN FULLY WITH ITS LIFE THE PENALTY OF THE SIN THUS IT NEVER ENTERED INTO THE BLOOD. IT IS EVIL TO THINK IT DID
.PLEASE QUOTE ONE BIBLE VERSE TO SAY THAT SIN WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE SANCTUARY BY THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE. THE ONE YOU CHOSE IS NOT RELEVANT.

Tim,

Thank you for your private email.

As I've said before, we're talking about a parable. Jesus spoke many parables that can't be interpreted just using Scripture. I agreed that in the Scriptures related to the sanctuary, blood only purifies. You're talking about trivialities. If you believe that you have understanding, interpret the entire sanctuary parable. I would read a paper on that.
