a_k,
Let us look at what the song says {if you agree that it depends on what the song says}.
The song says,[...nothing but the blood of Jesus...} Now I ddid not put in {can wash...{my} sins...] because I only want to present what the song says.
As to what the Rider said, let us use the following:
The Rider said to me,"You shall not commit adultery.".
Now in both cases, what is said is said to the person. The poster of the song does not say that nothing but the blood of Jesus will ...{others}sins. The Rider said {to me} that {I} shall not commit adultery, not others.
Now if someone wants to have a faith that allows one to commit adultery, the Rider did not say to others that they could not commit adultery, just to me. Could you clarify if there is something that could allow one to be acceptable here and not the other?
Lou
