Greetings Love Fountain! Thanks for your reply my friend! Just to make sure that I understand your position correctly, are you saying that God is not the author of the statutes in Leveticus? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, Thanks for you response. I believe God is the author of the whole Bible. The point I was making is that the book of Leviticus was to the priesthood and must be left out, because Jesus, becoming the High Priest, fulfilled all sacrifices with one sacrifice and all statutes and ordinances were nailed to the cross with Jesus. I made the mistake of quoting from Leviticus and referring to the book as law, when it is not the Law, it is filled with statutes and ordinances which are different. I was responding to fact that you mentioned circumsision and sacrifices for atonement as laws. They were statutes and ordinances for the priesthood, not law for civilians and I apologize for any misunderstanding. God never asked for offerings or sacrifices and they were man made as I supported with Scripture in the previous post. I hope this helps answer your question. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Greetings Love Fountain! Now I'm confused my friend! :-) If God is the author of the whole Bible, then are all the instructions regarding when and how to offer sacrifices instructions from God? You seem to be saying that the commands to sacrifice aren't from God, but they are part of the instructions given to Moses by God. Let me know if I have misunderstood! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, God says He never asked for sacrifices in the following verses, Jer 7:22 22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: KJV and, Ps 40:6 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. KJV The above verses make it clear that God never asked for sacrifices, where does it say God asked Moses to offer sacrifices? Bless you, Love Fountain |

Greetings Love Fountain! How about: 1) Ex. 20:24 - "”‘Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you. 25 If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it. 26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’" 2) Ex. 29:36 - "Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and anoint it to consecrate it." 3) Ex. 29:41 - "Sacrifice the other lamb at twilight with the same grain offering and its drink offering as in the morning—a pleasing aroma, an offering made to the LORD by fire." These are just the commands in Exodus, not counting all of the ones in Lev. and Numbers. What about the two verses you quoted? Jer. 7:22 doesn't say that God never commanded sacrifices, it says that "in the day He brought them out of Egypt" (prior to Mt. Sinai), He did not give instructions concerning sacrifices, but simply told them to obey Him. Ps. 40:6 is quoted in Heb. 10:5-12. There, the author makes it clear that the sacrifices were required by the Law, but that Christ is the only sacrifice which could please God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
