1 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | MJH | 152247 | ||
If all sacrafices should have ended with Jesus death and resurrection, then why did Paul participate in sacarfices in Acts 21? And in Acts 21 it was the James and the "elders" who urged Paul to participate with certain men in what appears to have been a Nazarite Vow. MJH |

2 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | Songbirdca | 152277 | ||
MJH, it appears within the context of this chapter that Paul participated in the purification ceremony to show his fidelity to the law. We know that he paid for the expenses of the four men to have their heads shaved (as is the custom for a Nazarite vow), what we do not know is if he actually took the vow himself or merely went to be purified. As for the sacrifies (or offering) you mentioned that was part of the Levitical law. An offering had to be made at the end of the purification. And Paul was trying to show the Jews (who were about to kill him) that he was just as religious as they were). The sacrifices did not end with the death and resurrection of Jesus. They ended with the destruction of the temple. |

3 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | MJH | 152333 | ||
The main question I have is for those who say that Jesus death and resurrection did away with the need for any and all sacrafices. If this is true, and I do not argue eitherway, but simply ask why did Paul apparently participate in a sacrafice near the end of his ministry? Obviously the non-Jesus-believing Jews would have done sacrafices up until the destruction of the Temple, but why would Jesus believing Jews do them, such as Paul? MJH |

4 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | kalos | 152337 | ||
After the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, is there any biblical record of Paul or any other apostle making a BLOOD sacrifice? Is there a clear verse of NT Scripture that says that they did? This is a direct question. It needs only a simple yes or no for an answer, along with supporting Scripture. |

5 | If all sacrafices ended, then why Acts 2 | Heb 9:1 | MJH | 152363 | ||
Kalos, No. At least not a "clear" verse. However, it would seem that in Acts 21, Paul participates in the scarifices (or intends to) associated with the Nazarite vow in Num. 6. So again, no clear verse. A question for you then is, what is going on in Acts 21? MJH |
