DOES BLOOD SIGNIFY MERCY ?<br />
When I was a young boy the concept <strong>of</strong> blood made my bones shiver.<br />
Blood meant pa<strong>in</strong>, terror and someth<strong>in</strong>g unpleasant.<br />
A boy with a bleed<strong>in</strong>g nose always ran to mum for medical assistance.<br />
Can blood represent <strong>Mercy</strong>!<br />
Would a lov<strong>in</strong>g mother ever pierce an arrow <strong>in</strong>to the liver <strong>of</strong> her<br />
<strong>in</strong>nocent <strong>in</strong>fant child, and express emotional satisfaction? The laws <strong>of</strong><br />
logic proves that a sane m<strong>in</strong>ded mother will never kill her child,<br />
similarly it is extremely m<strong>in</strong>d provok<strong>in</strong>g for non religious rational<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ded people to understand why lov<strong>in</strong>g and merciful God wants to kill<br />
Jesus or himself for salvation <strong>of</strong> mank<strong>in</strong>d as Christians believe.<br />
Would a God fear<strong>in</strong>g judge sentence an <strong>in</strong>nocent man to prison for the<br />
crime <strong>of</strong> another?<br />
Does salvation by the cross represent the true mean<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>of</strong> mercy,<br />
atonement and justice?<br />
Can a s<strong>in</strong> not be pardoned by virtue <strong>of</strong> good deeds, repentance, remorse,<br />
charity and pleasant speech, or is the so called murder and blood <strong>of</strong><br />
Jesus on a wooden pagan cross vital for the God <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong> to spread his<br />
mantle <strong>of</strong> forgiveness over his bondsman.<br />
Ooz<strong>in</strong>g blood gush<strong>in</strong>g from the ve<strong>in</strong>s <strong>of</strong> a physical body has no l<strong>in</strong>ks to<br />
mercy. The mercy <strong>of</strong> God does not demand that Jesus, Muhammed or<br />
God himself should die <strong>in</strong> order to secure eternal life and salvation.<br />
Majority <strong>of</strong> Christians depend on the blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus for salvation.<br />
Muslims depend on the <strong>Mercy</strong> <strong>of</strong> God and faith <strong>in</strong> one God for their<br />
salvation.<br />
