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: Hi Searcher56, Hebrews 10:4 is written in the context of an inferred "once and for all". The verse before it says that there was always that reminder of sins year after year. But Christ was the new and living Way; once and for all. Hebrews 10:9 says that He takes away the first (the burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin) in order to establish the second; "the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." I see no contradiction. |
