1 | Gifts to God or substitutes for sin? | Gen 4:4 | How big is your God | 37710 | ||
In Genesis it talks about offerings like that because there was no "law" instituted. Leviticus is where God told man what he must do to atone for his sin, but didn't negate other offerings. there is mention of other offerings apart from the sacrifice for sin, e.g. thanks, peace, wave, burnt, freewill, firstfruits. There are different offerings (or sacrifices: it is always a sacrifice of something that they owned) for different reasons, some as sin substitutes(which pointed to the Messiah as the ultimate sin offering) or as firstfruits (which was the case with Cain and Abel). The change has been an awareness of the Law so that awareness of sin might also occur. |
