Inerrancy

Luk 22:44 And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. AMP

Luk 22:44 and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground. YLT

Hmmm... I don't know. Could have been a simile, could also have been a description of Him sweating blood. Forensically, it is understandable that He would have sweated blood. Linguistically it doesn't follow that Luke would have used a simile in this instance, it is unlike his writing style for the most part.

Bottom line is: Does it make a difference or are we just having this discussion for the fun of it?

Well, if He were sweating drops of blood, did He clean Himself off before He woke up the disciples? Could you imagine the fear of seeing blood all over Jesus before His trial? That's the part that would be confusing.

I know that the visual of either is so powerful, 'Take this cup from My hand, but not My will be done but Yours,', wow!!! I'd be doing more than just sweating! Wink

I read this like this....
Lev 14:49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

The house is the body of man. the two birds are the Holy Spirit of God and the spirit in man. Cedar wood is the Cross, Scarlet is the blood of the sacrifice, and hyssop is the living water.

Lev 14:50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

The bird that is killed is the spirit in man. The earthen vessel is the flesh of man. Running water.. is many people.

Lev 14:51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

He shall take the cross, the water, and the blood, and the Holy Spirit, and dip them in the blood of the slain flesh and many people.
seven times. seven ages, seven churches?

Lev 14:52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

The new house/tabernacle/body shall be cleansed by the blood of the sacrifice with many people and with the Holy Spirit. With the cross and the water and the blood.

Lev 14:53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

And the Holy Spirit will be set free to work around the world, to be a sacrifice and mediator for the body/church/tabernacle, And it shall be clean/purified/sanctified...

Now if you compare the old testament with the new testament. And you look for the deeper meanings, then it all comes together. And I don't find any conflict among them.

I also see Abraham offering up Isaac in the above verses too.

I see Adam as the blood Eve as the water, God in the Garden is the Holy Spirit. Abel is the bird given for a sacrifice and Cain is the one who is to come to repentance and be saved. Recieve the Holy Spirit and Live and join the body, house, tabernacle. The wood is whatever Cain slew able with representing the cross.

I believe we are all firstborn as Cain, and when we believe God, then we are able to accept the sacrifice that abel made for our sins.
But until that time we are sent out into the world to learn the ways of repentance. Not to be killed by others but to learn how to destroy our own selfish Spirit and accept the Holy Perfect Spirit of God.

Thus the mark on Cain signifying his searching for truth. And those who recieve that mark are those the Holy Spirit seals. And those who do not search out and seek truth bare a mark also. The mark of unbelief.

That's how I see it....
