Bible Question:
Leviticus 16:27-34 is the context. Looking at verse 34, it says it is a permanent statute ... but how does that line up with what the Lord did? How does that effect other permanent statutes of the OT? Hebrews 10:4 say "For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins." Is their a contradiction? |
Bible Answer: Steve, Very interesting. You are correct. Lev 16:29 says that the day of atonement is a permanent statute. And vs. 31 implies that the sabbath is a permanent statute. And vs. 34 again says that the animal sacrifices indeed are a permanent statute. Hebrews is evidently wrong. If Christ had known about these verses, He probably never would have died. He should have stayed in the temple when His parents went back to Jerusalem. Then maybe He would have read these verses and discovered that He didn't need to die after all. What a shame! Congratulations! You have found the one verse in the Old Testament that completely invalidates the New Testament and what Christ has done. It must give you a great deal of satisfaction to prove God and the Bible wrong. Thanks for enlightening us. Now we can all get off this New Testament kick and get back to our animal sacrifices.
