I would be very glad for any one who can help me for specific detail search for the "blood of Jesus Christ" whether it may be mentioned in pronouns or in any forum in the new Testament.
Hi, Tes
Hebrews speaks the most on this topic. I used Heb 10.19 as the source verse for this study. This Search brings up relevant verses for study:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood as Sacrifice>} also eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus are used figuratively to refer to abiding with Christ Jesus. I used Jn 6.53 to find this Search in the Context Menu:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = To Eat Flesh and Drink Blood>} I hope this addresses your question.
Also, as a representation of the New Covenant this Search based on Mt 26.28 is useful:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood of Jesus as New Covenant>}
Lastly, you may find this Search to be useful:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood of Jesus as Death of Jesus>}
I used this: <Thing Blood> NEAR <Person Jesus>
There's a few false positives to sort through, but it's manageable.
In theory a clause search for thing:blood person:Jesus should find pretty much all of these. It does a fairly good job, but misses at least the following:
The tagging doesn't seem to be the problem, so I don't understand why the search doesn't work for these references. (Although the BWS seems to suggest that the Colossians passage is linked to God, not Jesus?) If anyone can shed light on that, I'd be grateful.
but misses at least the following: Matthew 27:4 Colossians 1:20 Revelation 19:12-13
but misses at least the following:
Did you only get 10 results? I only got 10 hits and was also missing: Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:14, 10:29; 1 Peter 1:2, 1:19; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 12:11.
Also the communion passages would be important (in my opinion).
In theory a clause search for thing:blood person:Jesus should find pretty much all of these.
Concur with theory, but found a complex search has more results (albeit with some false positives)
(<Person Jesus> OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Atonement>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = God: Grace>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Sacrifice>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Truth>}) INTERSECTS <Sense blood>
Keep Smiling [:)]
Let me clarify my motive. I am sick of those who always proclaim " I cover you in the blood of Jesus" . So, I want to defend the truth about the Precious blood of Jesus Christ with which I am redeemed,cleansed, sanctified, and interred by faith to the Holy place . A true believer is in Christ. He is where Christ is. If they think that they have the right to claim to do that then they should prove that they are from the tribe of the Levites and they are priests of the old testament not the priests of the new testament. They should mention the blood of animals not the precious blood of our Lord Jesus. This is my point. I know the rules of the Forums. I am not bringing it for theological discussion. but I am interested on resources. I just have mentioned it ,so that you may understand my direction of my search.
Might be worth coming at it from a different angle like searching the systematic theologies in your library to see where conceptually this occurs. In my library R.T. Kendall says "I myself pray daily to be covered by the blood of Jesus" Kendall, R. T. (1996). Understanding Theology, Volume One (p. 267). Ross-shire, Great Britain: Christian Focus.
There are other similar references but as far as I can see he does not suggest that that this is something we can bestow on others.
Might also be worth seeing whether there is anything similar in the Church Fathers.
Good suggestion, but I strongly believe that the blood of Jesus Christ Deals with internal and from internal to external .Covering is not for some one who is in. cleansining,sanctifying, justifying are not external in the New Testament.The blood of our Jesus Christ brings us to relationship with God.
Not wanting to violate the forum guidelines, in similar situations where I had concerns about the theology and the origin of something that was becoming commonplace I found finding the origin of the thinking was a good start and in some cases Google provided a better start point than Logos. Having identified the Biblical passages from which support was claimed using Logos I was able to provide a proper exegesis of the verse in question in context.
I have heard the statement that concerns you many times, it is often used with good intentions but every explanation that I have been given has lacked Bible support.

Would you please elaborate it? I am not aware of your comments. What is the statement that concerns me?

I haven't understood what you mean. which has lacked Bible support.

Realised that my last post did not address these questions fully.
Sorry if I misunderstood I thought that you had concerns about the way the phrase "I cover you with the Blood" is used and specifically whether it was rooted in the Bible.
To clarify lacking Biblical support, my personal experience is that most of the people that quote this and other similar phrases do so out of habit or because they think it sounds right and when questioned about them they might say its what the Bible teaches but have no idea where it is because they are simply propagating something that they heard someone else say. Sadly to often things are propagated because they sound right rather than because they are right.
In the context of searching and specifically searching the text of the Bible, if you cannot find something that using the techniques originally suggested (thing:blood person:Jesus) then a series of broader searches may help you find pointers to Bible texts from related articles. My preferred approach in this context is to use the broader search to build a list of verses to look at so I will often ignore the commentary and conclusions and focus on the Bible source text being used.

Absolutely you are right Graham. Since as you have mentioned it they say it out of habit with out any Bible base they have nothing to say. What I have got up to now is enough. I am a Pentecostal believer, But I don't agree on every Issue. I am a Bible believer. Many times preachers as well as ordinary believers have made their habit to say so. They say I cover with the blood of Jesus Christ to people, cars, house, children, and so on... instead of mentioning Jesus Himself. Thank you all of you. I think Faithlife has misunderstood. We have not discussed about theology. It was about how to search the software.I am well satisfied with your comments and Beloved as well. God bless you!

Hey Tes,
Just a reminder, but users with stars are our wonderful and helpful volunteer MVP's who give their time to help thier fellow users. Faithlife employees will have a Faithlife logo under thier name. While this discussion did not get into a theological debate, it did have the potential since we have so many forum users, and sometimes a gentle reminder can help keep things positive.
Understood. Thank you.
