1 | Blood sacrifices during the Millenium? | Heb 10:12 | thelema | 111833 | ||
And so, we are to believe that Jesus dying on the cross fulfilled the requirements of a blood sacrifice. There are a number of requirements for a sacrifice to be valid or it is completely disqualified and will be an abomination to G-d. These requirements are as follows: 1. The sin offering must be brought forth by the person seeking atonement, and slaughtered either by the sinner or by the priest. 2. Death must be caused by a sharp, perfect blade cutting across the neck, resulting in blood loss and swift death. 3. The offering must be physically unblemished. 4. In the case of mammal offerings (bulls, lambs, etc.) the offering must be less than one year old. 5. In the case of mammal offerings, the mammal must have cloven hooves and chew cud. 6. The sacrifice must be brought at the Temple 7. The sacrifice must have its blood taken by a priest and sprinkled on the altar. 8. The sacrifice must be salted. Since Jesus did not fulfill even one of the eight precepts listed above, it's clear that his death could not be the atoning sacrifice Christians claim it is. Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your G-d which I command you. (KJV) Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (KJV) Twice we see a prohibition of going against the Torah’s precepts. This should tell you it’s an important law to follow. Does G-d desire human sacrifice? Deuteronomy 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy G-d: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. (KJV) So, we see just how highly the Almighty thinks of human sacrifice. |

Dear thelema, No, Jesus, the Christ-Messiah, was not sent to fulfil all the legal criteria for blood sacrifice as prescribed by the Law. He came to fulfil all the graceful criteria of the Messiah as prescribed by the Prophets. No Jew EVER did (or could) fulfill all of the criteria of the Law. This is precisely why the Lord gave us a new covenant based on grace. Btw, this same grace was already being applied to His people in the Old Testament. Otherwise, virtually every saint would have been sentenced to death for their stiff-necked attitude toward God and-or their inability to keep all of the Law. In any case, Jesus was not exactly a "human sacrifice" in the sense you seem to be saying. Especially since He was not offered to Baal. As a matter of fact, your denial of Jesus' atoning blood would also negate the Old Testament references concerning the Messiah. Peace to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
