 > And found very little of what you need?  Interesting.
       Well, there is alot concerning the blood.  I have been told that there
is a book called The Scarlet Thread Through The Bible,  that might be along 
the lines that I am looking for, but it looks like it is now out of print.
       I went and bought two books on the blood of Christ, one by Andrew 
Murray, and I believe the other was Kenneth Hagin, to try to help me out. 
There is alot of passages dealing with the blood, and I have used several of 
them in previous articles.
       The problem I am having is formulating them into a list that leads 
people to Christ.  I have never sat down with someone and lead them to 
Christ. I am a religious researcher, so for the most part, I am that person 
that plants the seed in the unsaved person, and then later on, they find 
their way
to Christ.  Like talking to a Jehovah's Witness, and giving them info that 
causes them to research what they believe.
       To me, I look at getting saved, as "Just called upon the Lord, and ask
Him to forgive you.  Admit that you are a sinner in need of a Savior.  Just 
call upon Jesus..."   I am really simple when it comes to doctrines of 
salvation.  I don't know all these steps, like you see in the Roman Road.  In
fact, at the moment, I can't even find the Roman Road to Salvation.
       But I need to come up with an article that goes into detail that we 
are only saved through the shed blood of Christ.  I plan on going into gory 
detail.  It is amazing that it is only through a realistic depiction of the 
Jesus that died on a cross, that will get some of these people saved.  They 
don't want a watered down Gospel.  They want the graphic details.  And when I 
start talking about a radical Jesus that loved sinners, and had a problem 
with the religious leaders of his time, they tend to want to hear more.
       It is like this.  You have a teenager that is into horror movies, and 
we talk about this Jesus that died on the cross for him, but we don't go into
great detail, because we don't want to think about it in our own minds.  But 
we use start talking to that teenager about a Jesus that was beaten with a 
cat of 9 tails, where his back was in shreds, but he didn't die then.  
Others, died just from the beaten alone.  But Jesus went on to the cross, and 
then you go into the medical details of the crucifixion....  They listen... 
It is then, that they begin to think about this Jesus going through all of 
that torture for them....
       So, it is through the blood that I am trying to reach them.  This 
graphic depiction of Christianity also helps to lead young Satanists to 
Christ too.  I had a Satanist teen beg me to tell him about Jesus.  And I 
would ask him repeatly, are you sure I am not talking to much about 
Christianity.  And he would reply, "no, tell me more."
       So, any and all help is appreciated.  I need help from others on 
this....
       God bless....
