Why is it that Jesus after being “raised” in the gospels never spoke about this blood atonement?June 15, 2010 at 5:47 pm#196130bodhithartaParticipantMatthew 23:35 (King James Version)
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Matthew 27:24-26That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luke 11:49-51but how are you born again?
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Why is it that Jesus after being “raised” in the gospels never spoke about this blood atonement?Rom.5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.Hebrews 9:20-28 Saying, This is the blood of the “Testament”=117 which God hath enjoined unto you.
Moreover he (Moses) sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these;
but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is 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: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put
away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him
shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. (A Personal Pentecost for all believers!)Ed J

The end of the world was 2000 years ago?You didn't anwser to the fact that the Passover has nothing to do with atonement.
Commenting on the book:
If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.
( سورة يونس , Yunus, Chapter #10, Verse #94)The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.
( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #146)There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, “That is from Allah,” but it is not from Allah. It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #78)“Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper.” (7:157)

It is the truth otherwise how could Muhammad know all those details throughout the entire Quran about all the prophets and the stories as well as knowing all that information in the NT and somehow compile it all into one book in a stunning style and eloquence.No person could have taught him all that information it is definitely the word of God.
