    The document discusses the practice of "pleading the blood of Jesus" which is commonly used by some Christians to request protection, provision, healing or other needs but finds no biblical basis for this practice. It asserts that pleading the blood is not mentioned in Scripture and acts more like a mystical formula than something taught or modeled in the Bible. The document also argues that the concept of pleading the blood stems from faulty doctrines of original sin and the idea that sin is passed through bloodlines rather than being a moral or spiritual issue not tied to physical substance.

    Pleading the Blood of Jesus?

    Where is the practice of “pleading the blood” of Jesus found in Scripture?


    There seems to be a profound practice of manipulating God by “pleading the
    blood” of Christ. It seems that the blood is supposed to hold some magical
    formula. Do you need a new house? Plead the blood. Need a job? Plead the
    blood. Need to cast out a demon from someone? Plead the blood. Pray
    salvation for your loved ones? Plead the blood.

    If pleading the blood of Jesus is so important, why do we not read this in


    Scripture or even its practice? Some even talk about the “covering of the
    blood,” and the “protection of the blood.”

    “Pleading the blood of Jesus” has no basis in Scripture. Where does ‘pleading the blood’
    guarantee us health, wealth, happiness, or even deliverance from demons? Where does it say
    doing such a thing will deliver us from just about every problem or situation we encounter in
    life?

    This teaching of pleading the blood of Jesus is a heretical view of prayer. It has also taught that if
    one suffers from some kind of sickness or in sin, or faced with trials and persecutions, all they
    have to do is plead the blood of Jesus.

    “Pleading the blood” has more to do with mysticism. “Pleading the blood” of Christ is not a
    magical formula for protection and power. Nor is it a formula for defeating the Devil. Defeating
    the Devil is by resisting him, by turning away from a life of sin and following Christ instead.

    Some will say that our old hymns (such as: Are you Washed in the Blood? There is Power in the
    Blood, Nothing But the Blood) speak of the power of the blood of Christ. These hymns did not
    mean what it has been defined today since the Word of Faith movement. The “blood” has
    nothing to do with the red blood cells of Christ, but is a synonym for His death.

    We have this doctrine of Blood that is a very strange teaching. It has led people to believe that
    God Himself has blood, Divine blood. They get this from Acts 20:28. We know God is a Spirit
    and does not have blood. We do know the verse refers to Christ who shed His blood. (Rev. 5:9)

    This teaching can also be traced back to the false doctrine of Original Sin (Total Depravity of
    Reformed theology). This explains to them why Jesus was sinless because He took His blood
    from His Father! This is pure Gnosticism. We are to believe that blood in itself is sinful (besides
    the flesh itself). There is no such thing of inheriting sinful blood. My former pastor, from a
    Baptist denomination, tried to convince me that sin is in the DNA! This is also why Jehovah
    Witnesses will not accept blood transfusions because they believe there is sin in the blood that
    can be passed onto them.
    Blood does not have any moral qualities. Sin is not a substance and it is not in the blood.

    This doctrine of Original Sin is the foundation for all other major doctrines of the Bible. Take
    away the teaching of Original Sin, and people will have no foundation for the other major
    doctrines they embrace.
