Per TRS Good People Have Good Sex is now a disambig page.


* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Hebrews 13:4 is a warning to believers of how to keep the sex good (according to God's view of "good"):
-->''Marriage is to be honored among everyone, and the bed undefiled. But God will judge the [[{{Lust}} sexually immoral]] and adulterers.''

* ParentalBlamelessness: Invoked in Hebrews 12:9-10 as part of the following analogy for God's motives for punishing those whom he loves: "Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness." (NKJV) The author seems to be following this train of thought: 1) he assumes that his readers accept the discipline they received as children; 2) he deems said discipline to have been considered appropriate by the fathers, but implies it may not have always been perfect or adequate; 3) he assumes that God, being God, gives perfect discipline, unlike Earthly fathers...ergo, the reader should appreciate the chastisement of god.

* BloodMagic: In Chapter 9, the writer makes the point that, without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins, so not only did the replicas of the heavenly things needed to be cleansed with the sprinkling of blood (from calves and goats), but also the heavenly things needed to be cleansed with better sacrifices than those offered through the Law of Moses. For that reason, Jesus offered His own blood for a sacrifice, entering not into the earthly copies of "the true tabernacle", but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.

* BloodOath: Both the Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant, as mentioned in this book, are covenants signed and sealed by God in blood so that they are binding on the people God has a covenant with. As Moses did the honors with sprinkling the book of the Mosaic Covenant as well as the people with the blood of calves and bulls, Jesus did the same with the shedding of His own blood on the cross to put the New Covenant into effect.

* ForgivenessRequiresDeath: In this case, not the death of the person who committed sin, but rather a substitute in the form of a sacrifice, as Hebrews 9:22 states that without blood there is no forgiveness of sins, which is why the author states that Jesus Christ has become the perfect sacrifice for people's sins, for only His blood can cleanse one's conscience of dead works so they can serve the living God.
