1 | no more animal sacrifice | Heb 8:13 | YenIsaRap | 218697 | ||
Dear Tim You are right of course, "The animal sacrifices did not save anyone in the first place." I on the other hand was referring to the forgiveness of sin, now we are at cross purposes sorry:-( Forgiveness of sin, and Salvation are not synonymous If I may rephrase the questions. This statement was made recently. "Since Christ paid the price for our sin on the cross. no more animal sacrifice for sin is acceptable." 1 Did God honor the sacrifices made by the Jewish people, (for the forgiveness of sin) until the destruction of the Temple? 2 Will God again honor the sacrifices of the Jewish people, (for the forgiveness of sin) when they are reinstated, after the rebuilding of the Temple? These sacrifices were instituted by God for the people, in Exodus. The Temple was not destroyed until 70 ad. this was 35 yrs. after the sacrifice of Jesus. The people still sacrificed until that time. We are told, the Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem in the end times, will God again honor the sacrifices of the people, made at this new Temple until the Abomination of Desolation stands in the Holy Place? We know a New Covenant was made, but the Jews "did not," we know there is now a New Covenant in force, but the Jews "do not". God Bless YenIsaRap |

Greetings YenlsaRap! Thanks for your response my friend! You stated that forgiveness of sins and salvation are not synonymous, but according to Eph. 1:7, they are synonymous: Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace Col. 1:14 says the same thing, while Luke 1:77 also connects salvation and forgiveness of sins. All through Acts, the same connection is made. If one is saved, his sins are forgiven. But, even if you still believe there is a difference between the two, Heb. 10:18 specifically says: Hebrews 10:18 And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim You can't have it both ways Tim, in your first post you stated. "1) The animal sacrifices did not save anyone in the first place." And I concur, with your statement, but they did gain forgiveness of sin. Now in your second post you state. "You stated that forgiveness of sins and salvation are not synonymous, but according to Eph. 1:7, they are synonymous:" Again I concur with your statement, but that event only becomes a reality in the New Covenant, not the Old. That brings us to the crux of my question. My question is asked in reference to, and only to the people, the nation of Israel, those people that did not follow Jesus, but continued in the practice of Judaism after the Crucifixion of Jesus, until the final destruction of the Temple in 35 ad. I guess you are saying, the Jewish people were not granted forgiveness of their sins after 35 ad. No matter the fact they followed the laws set down. Was the forgiveness of their sins only dependant upon the fact something was sacrificed? Or was it because they believed God at His word, that if they did sacrifice in such a manner, they would gain forgiveness of sin? Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Therefore if the people did continue to live by the law, did God honor their sacrifice for sin, thereby granting them forgiveness of their sins according to the law? Your Brother in Christ Yen |

This is a correction on my post, no more animal sacrifice ( 218700 ) until the final destruction of the Temple in 35 ad. That should have been 70 ad. Yen |

God's day to you, Yen, Did God accept the sacrifices after His death until the final destruction of the Temple? I think about Hebrews 7:27 (I noticed Tim's post after I wrote), as well as what is missing in the other NT books. What is missing is the fact no more sacrifices. Then we read millennium sacrifices in Ezekiel 40:38-39, 45:13-17. So does the Bible say to stop the old system? Searcher |
