Hi, Bub; I'm not sure I can help with your first question. I think it is generally agreed that Hebrews was written to Jewish believers, perhaps second-generation, who were wavering in their acceptance of Jesus. Chapters 6 and 10 both contain exhortations to keep the faith rather than reject Jesus. It seems pretty straightforward. But before we return to discussing individual words in specific passages, could you please tell me where you offer your sacrifices? Thanks. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Dear Steve..... The sacrifice was always to be at the place of the LORD's choosing.......I believe that Calvary is where one goes for his sacrifice. Singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb....Bub |

Greetings, Bub; I won't press you on the logistics of getting lambs and rams and such to Calvary - a place indeed chosen by God to replace the old covenant and its law. Surely God would have preserved the Temple if He had meant for the Mosaic law - which absolutlely demands the sacrifice of animals - to continue. A merciful God would not continue to require adherence to it and yet allow the means of atonement to be destroyed. Every person under the Law dies carrying the full weight of his sins because they cannot be atoned for. The Jews of the day recognized their dilemma; their response was to throw out that part of the law and substitute prayer. But that's not Torah. There is no answer in Torah except to live a sinless life in perfect obedience to it. Only one man ever has or ever will. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
