The Bible does not teach to pray to Jesus

[Runningman]

Acts 20:28- Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

This literally translates to "the blood of his own [Son]" It's in numerous commentaries and found in the footnote for this verse in several versions/translations.

Heb 9:12-He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption

Heb 9:16-18- In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.

Heb 9:22- According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Eph 1:7- In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

Matt 26:28- for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

Rev 1:5- and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood,

You forgot to mention the part where the blood of the Lamb is not the blood of God.

Revelation 5
9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

The focus of my post is not the Trinity but the absolute necessity of Jesus blood atonement for the forgiveness of sins.

Was His blood necessary for the forgiveness of sins ?

Yes or nn

Let’s see if you answer my question.

“His own” refers back to “Theos”/God.

There is no specific mention of the Son, but the implications of the “blood” of God is that the Son is God.

It's a bit more than that, which is why many Greek experts don't really translate it as literally God's blood because God doesn't have blood.

I pulled up some info on Acts 20:28 from Bible Hub to look at. The idea is that the blood being talked about is the blood of God's own family member, i.e., His son.
