1 | How be born of water and of the Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | retxar | 15429 | ||
1. Before “In the beginning”. Why? Pride (Isa 14:12-15) 2. Your are referring to John 3:5. The meaning? Just read John 3:6! Salvation only comes to those born of the flesh and reborn of the Spirit. This rules out salvation of fallen angels and salvation by works. 3. Romans 7:15-25. We are spirit man and flesh man. We choose which man we want to feed! 4. The Old Testament sacrifice system served as only a shadow of Jesus (Heb 10:1). It was only an image of the real thing (Heb 8:5, 10:1). Example: a 20 dollar bill is only worth 20 dollars because of the gold it represents. If the government decided to give us the gold, the paper would then have no value. The OT “paper” was only temporary until God gave us the “Gold” ! The sacrifices served as a reminder of sin year after year (Heb 10:3). It was not possible that the sacrifices could take away sin (Heb 10:4), but only provide a covering until Jesus came. Jesus took sin away and took the punishment for sin that God required (1 John 2:2). The priest offered the same sacrifices over and over, always standing, never sitting (Heb 10:11), but Jesus offered one sacrifice and then sat down (Heb 10:12), because His work was finished! Jesus Saves!! |

3 | Who received the blood ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Bill Mc | 15850 | ||
Hi Ricardo, I'm not sure what you mean by who received the blood from the animal sacrifices, but the Law demanded that they be made to cover 'atone' for the sins of the people. Hebrews 9:22 says that without the shedding of blood there is no remission (forgiveness) of sins. Why? Because Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin, what we deserve when we sin, is death. And Leviticus tells us that the life is in the blood. But God, being merciful, allowed the substitution of animal's deaths (the shedding of their blood) to represent what the sinful Israelites deserved. As your verse here says, He didn't take pleasure in them or desire them because of what He says in verse 4 and 11 - the blood of bulls and goats could NEVER take away sin - only cover it. And then, only for one year until the next Day of Atonement when the whole process would be repeated. Christ's blood, on the other hand, being perfect, takes away the whole sin issue between God and man. His sacrifice was one sacrifice for all men for all sins for all time - seen verse 10,14. See also Hebrews 9:25-28. Plus, He did something that the Old Testament sacrifices couldn't do - He made us perfect in God's sight - completely! See Hebrews 10:1,10,14. What a wonderful Savior! Now, because of the sacrifice Christ made we can draw near to God, and as Hebrews 10:16-18 says, He remembers are sins no more! And we are righteous in God's sight. Old Testament worshippers new was forgiveness was. But they didn't have God dwelling inside them. What amazing grace! I hope this helps. In Christ, Bill Mc |
