| God forbade the Israelites to cosume blood & the explanation
given is because "the life is in the blood". That's in Deuteronomy and/or
Leviticus somewhere.

Yes it is in Leviticus 3 & 17 I think. It also says;
"Since the life of a living body is in it's blood, I have
made you put it on the altar, so that atonement may thereby
be made for your own lives, because it is the blood, as the
seat of life, that makes atonement"
Which has it's fulfilment in Christ, the perfect sacrifice, John 6.
Peace,
Tom

| So far as expiation is concerned, is Christ's literal blood
part of the expiation or is it purely a symbol where that which
it is symbolic of is the expiation?
My conviction: Christ's literal blood is not expiation. The
revelation of His self-sacrificing love, the love expressed on
the cross is all of the expiation.
Now, how is revelation expiation?

| Thanks Harry!
To use an equivalent word:
The sum total of what the blood is metaphorical of is
*REVELATION*. (See John 6:53,63).
How does revelation atone?

The passage I was thinking of is Deuteronomy 12:23-27. The quote below is
from the REB. The NIV which I looked it up in is slightly different, but
essentially the same. My Niv doesn't fit in my briefcase too well.
(Preceeding these verses is stuff about how animals for food can be
slaughtered in their towns & settlements if the place the Lord chooses is
far for them to travel easily on a regular basis. For the animals slaughtered
thusly, the first paragraph below applies. The second paragraph applies
to sacrifices and offerings)
"But you must strictly refrain from partaking of the blood,
because the blood is the life; you must not eat the life
with the flesh. If you abstain from it, all will be well
with you and your children after you; for you will be doing
what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
But such holy-gifts as you may have and gifts you have vowed
you must bring to the place the Lord will choose. You must
present your whole-offerings, both the flesh and the blood, on
the alter of the Lord your God; but of your shared-offerings you
are to eat the flesh, while the blood is to be poured on the
alter of the Lord your God."
Deuterononmy 12:23-27
