Bible Question:
"Christ's Crucifixion did not bring an end to the animal sacrifices, but the destruction of the Temple did in 70ad". YenlsaRap, Who was sacrificing in the temple before its destruction? Were followers of Christ sacrificing in the Temple? Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Stand in His grace, WOS |
Bible Answer: Dear WOS You have two questions. 1 Who was sacrificing in the temple before its destruction? 2 Were followers of Christ sacrificing in the Temple? Seems as though you are under the impression, when Jesus was Crucified, all activity at the Temple ceased. There were sacrifices taking place during the life of Christ. The sacrifices continued until the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 ad. Therefor the direct answer to you first question is, the Jewish people. As to your second question, do you honestly believe, anyone with any sense would have a belief, that the disciples were still practicing the Law by sacrificing at the Temple? Gods' Love Yen |
