Matthew 7:22 uses the word MANY - I would have been alot more comfortable if Jesus used the word FEW. "21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!"

This is true since Adam and Eve. The symbolic blood of Jesus was required for salvation until He was crucified. It was not as the blood of animals given for salvation in that system, it was as the symbolic blood of Jesus, the blood of Jesus. Cain tried to use the fruit of his works for sacrifice and it was rejected.
Blood is required for salvation in the OT.
Lev. 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

This is a difficult part of the story to understand. They talk about fig leaf religion. People use to make clothing using the fiber from the fig tree. Only this was more like paper. Not very practical or durable. This was when they began to use the fur of animals for clothing to keep themselves warm. This was a lot more common when I was a kid. Today we have a lot of synthetic materials that we use. We do not use down or leather or the feathers of animals to keep warm anymore. People were able to move north up out of Africa because they could adapt to the colder climates,
This would be relevant if God was a man and did not live in a spiritual realm that is eternal but changed with the times.
You need to google a man named Marcion, he wrote a book dated 144 saying that the bible as it was then should be changed. He believed that Christ was a higher God, most of the OT should be discarded, and a bible created just for the gentiles. At that time the gospels, Paul's letters and other documents were read in the churches but they weren't considered scripture. It was 300 years after Christ before the NT was created.
Marcion was excommunicated.

You use me, not to discuss scripture, but to convince the world your are so superior you can set yourself up as my judge. Instead of now criticizing how I speak, answer the question about what you are putting me down about. This is supposed to be a christian site, you are turning it into a personal battle site. Stop it.
I am able to discuss without making personal comments; why can't you?
Your prior post was essentially a leading question. In other words, you make several incorrect assertions in your question so that answering it would implicitly justify your assertions. It's akin to asking, "Are you still beating your wife?"
I have no interest in using you, judging you, or demonstrating my superiority. I am merely commenting on your statement. It's not even a comment about you personally, but about your ideas. Of course, if you identify too closely with your ideas, you won't be able to process criticism of them as anything other than personal.

The first letter in the first word of the Bible represents Christ. The Son of God who came to Earth to dwell with mankind. The entire Bible simply explains the first word in the Bible. Almost every translation translates this first verse the same: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We are told: "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world" (Eph1:4)
So not only do the words testify of Christ. The very letters that make up the words testify of Christ. In Hebrew letters are symbolic. Each letter has infinite meaning. "And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light." (Genesis 1:3) God spoke creation into existence.
