Cruelty in Hebrews

  1. God will not forgive us unless we shed the blood of some innocent creature. 9:13-14, 22

  2. Those who disobeyed the Old Testament law were killed without mercy. It will be much worse for those who displease Jesus. 10:28-29

  3. The Israelites kept the passover and sprinkled blood on doorposts so that God wouldn't kill their firstborn children (like he did the Egyptians in Exodus 12:29). 11:28

  4. God ordered animals to be "stoned, or thrust through with a dart" if they "so much as ... touch the mountain." 12:20
