1 | why the need for a sacrifice? | Gen 2:17 | chynna | 34162 | ||
I've been thinking about Jesus's death and the need for it. And I've been thinking about how in the old testament sacrifices were made as atonement for sins. In this light, I understand why Jesus had to die. But I'm having a slight problem with this. Why do you think God requires a blood sacrifice? How does killing something and offering it up to God really erase sin? My faith is still strong, I'm just trying to understand this a little better. Thanks |

2 | why the need for a sacrifice? | Gen 2:17 | srbaegon | 34163 | ||
Good morning chynna God gave only one "Thou shalt not", and it had the consequence of death. As a substitute for man's death, God allowed the death of another living creature. Because a man sinned and deserved death, eventually a man had to die--thus Christ's substitutionary death. Steve |
