What a pity. This is plain ignorance of the Bible. The clergies notably the Roman Catholic Church sould explain that these acts are plain nonsense. Jesus Christ did the suffering and dying on the cross for our sins. Our part to complete our forgiveness from sins and earn the right to be saved is simply accept what the Lord has done for us.
only faith is important and not the tradition.. Jesus paid all at the cross and they don't need to repeat it because we are free now, Jesus wash away our sins, we have a new life in Jesus..
evilblade: quoting the bible verbatim does not make you intelligent. on the contrary, it only shows your incapability to think for yourself, much less comprehend the stupidity of such "rituals of religous devotion" as shown in this video clip. you are no different from the brainwashed 911 hijackers. poor you.
i am in fact an atheist and quite litteraly one of those "gay little liberals", but i read the bible a lot along with all the other mayor religions (i am a former Lutheran protestant turned atheist).
but if you were to make the assumption that there is a god and the bible is his word, then i cant make any other assumption judging from the scriptures that god really loves blood and that these people would be religiously free from sin :P
im not religious, meaning i dont believe in a higher power or a god. but from a religious point of view i can understand what they are doing, the bible makes it quite clear that blood cleanses sin :P
It's a bunch of woodden sticks. They are not sharp, but when these guys whip their own backs repeatedly, the skin eventually cracks and bleeds. But the wounds are not deep - they are rather bloody bruises than cuts.
"Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin"
"The life of man is in the blood", therefore the higher the life, the more precious the blood. When therefore you come to the Life of Christ Who sheds His blood you get the total remission of sin. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin."
the old testament is quite adamant about the importance of blood sacrifice.
the Torah enplanes that all life and sin is in the blood. (this is why it is forbiden to eat blood, as that would transfer whatever sins the creature had unto you)
there are traditions to take two goats on the day of atonement and sacrifice one before sprinkling the other goat with its blood, the priest/Rabi would "lay all the sins of Israel on the goat"
the people shed their blood because "sin is in (their) blood".
the bible mentions blood almost 500 times, and makes it quite clear that blood cleanses sin and that god needs blood to act.
god intervened to protect the isralites in egypt only if they sprinkled blood over the doorsteps.
god KILLED Nadab and Abihu (sons of aaron) because they skipped gods blood-sacrifice in temple.
the bible teaches that Jesus blood redeemed all of mankind from the original sin. (the symbol of Jesus is the lamb, the traditional animal for blood sacrifice)
they hit themselves like shiaa
