Hebrews 9:14 teaches that I think. I believe it happened at the time you have said.

That is my opinion also.
That between the time He told Mary not to touch Him because He was going to ascend to His Father and God and when He later appeared to the disciples (minus Thomas) in the upper room, He had presented His blood in the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (Heb 9:11-15).

The result is various forms of confusion or unsettled issues throughout the circles evidenced in the last 15 years. Even before that, you had varied opinions on the "blood application" issue. Enough said. See the threads of choice for more on any of these.

I feel sad for people like that. There was always an emphasis on what He did for us and continues to do for us....
