I presumed that you were implying that Jesus did not place His Blood on the Mercy Seat of Heaven.

Perhaps I was implying that.

It is not at all clear from scripture that this has occurred.

Were you or weren't you. Make up your mind. Don't waste time, eh?

For some, that might be true. For the student of why the decalogue is important for the Christian to understand soteriology, it wouldn't be. Perhaps I was too brief. but I made up for it in Post #696.

If that does not make sense to you, then we will remain at odds on this matter.

Hebrews:

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;
20 Where the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

7:26 For such a high priest was befitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law makes men high priests who have weakness; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated forevermore.

9:11 But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

24 For Christ has not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the age has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

10:11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering frequently the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever ...

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having a high priest over the house of God;

29 Of how much worse punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done insult unto the Spirit of grace?

24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.

13:11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

If you follow the texts from Hebrews, you learn where the blood was sprinkled, for the sins of the people. The Mercy seat is now in Heaven and that is where the blood was sprinkled, by The High Priest forever, having offered up the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the people, who by faith in HIM in His soter role, has redeemed the faithful.
