Subject: no more animal sacrifice |
Bible Note: Dear Tim You are right of course, "The animal sacrifices did not save anyone in the first place." I on the other hand was referring to the forgiveness of sin, now we are at cross purposes sorry:-( Forgiveness of sin, and Salvation are not synonymous If I may rephrase the questions. This statement was made recently. "Since Christ paid the price for our sin on the cross. no more animal sacrifice for sin is acceptable." 1 Did God honor the sacrifices made by the Jewish people, (for the forgiveness of sin) until the destruction of the Temple? 2 Will God again honor the sacrifices of the Jewish people, (for the forgiveness of sin) when they are reinstated, after the rebuilding of the Temple? These sacrifices were instituted by God for the people, in Exodus. The Temple was not destroyed until 70 ad. this was 35 yrs. after the sacrifice of Jesus. The people still sacrificed until that time. We are told, the Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem in the end times, will God again honor the sacrifices of the people, made at this new Temple until the Abomination of Desolation stands in the Holy Place? We know a New Covenant was made, but the Jews "did not," we know there is now a New Covenant in force, but the Jews "do not". God Bless YenIsaRap |
