1 | Can the blood of bulls take away sin? | Heb 10:4 | Simchat Torah | 53053 | ||
Is the phrase "take sins away", as found in Hebrews 10:4, the same as "forgiveness"? If so, this verse appears to contradict Leviticus 4:20 (and others such as verses 26, 31, 35, etc.) If the sacrifice of the bulls in the book of Leviticus could cause the forgiveness of sins, how can the author of Hebrews state that it cannot? | ||||||
2 | Can the blood of bulls take away sin? | Heb 10:4 | Robert Nicholson | 53062 | ||
Simchat Torah In Hebrews 10 the writer is comparing the shadow or type of the old covenant to the fulfilment of that shadow fulfiled in Christ. In V. 1-3 we find that the sacrifices of old covered sin for season and then the rememberance of sin. Thus, in V.4 we read "it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." However, under the new covenant in Christ we find that his sacrifice was once for all v. 10 " But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God" V11 The old testament sacrifices covered sin, but the blood of Jesus Christ provided a way whereby God could forgive the sins of those who had died in faith before the cross and for those who by faith put their trust in him after the cross. Forgiveness such as this "their sins and iniquities I will remember no more" is only found in Christ alone. Praise his name Robert |

3 | Can the blood of bulls take away sin? | Heb 10:4 | ChristLifer2001 | 53299 | ||
Great answer, Robert. The scripture that solidifies this Heb 9:15 - "For this reason He (Christ) is the mediator of a new covenant (in His blood), so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant (the Law), those who have been called may recieve the promise of the eternal inheritance." As you have stated, while the OT sacrifices covered sins, only Christ could take them away. God forgave the OT saints, not because of the blood of bulls and goats, but because of their faith in Him and the promise that one day God's Spotless Lamb would come. His blood takes away all sins of all men for all time. Keep growing in His grace, ChristLifer2001 |
