Bible Question:
Steve, If you then go to Christ, then two observations must be made: 1) You have violated this passage. This passage says nothing about 'going to Christ'. According to this passage, this is not an option. No mention of Christ is made here whatsoever. God says to bring a lamb or goat. Granted, you do have the option of bringing two turtledoves, two pigeons or a tenth of an ephah of fine flour. But this passage makes no mention of any other offering being acceptable. 2) You cannot go to Christ. Christ is physically seated at the right hand of God. How can you get there? And how would you get your lamb, goat or other offering there? If we go strictly by this passage, and throw out any future revelation of God's plan of grace and forgiveness, then you have violated this means of forgiveness, my friend. Can't you see how foolish it is to 'camp' on older revelation and not accept the newer? Matthew 6:14 is the same. You cannot say, 'If I don't forgive, then God won't forgive' and also say, 'God has forgiven all my sins.' They are mutually exclusive. In Him, Bill Mc |
