Bible Note: Hi EdB, the sin sacrifice was to restore the relationship between God and the sinner. The day of Atonement was for the same reason, but in a communal sense, rather than an individual sense. But over and above all this, the sacrifice was to show the seriousness of sin, and the conseqeunces of it.(death). About Hebrews, the shedding of blood for forgivenss was in Jesus, not in animal sacrifice. "Where did you get there was no sacrifice available if someone broke one of the ten commandments?" I get this from reading the bible, and from noticing just that. Do you have an example contrary to my belief? I am not saying that I am correct...I am just saying that I have not seen an example of this, and that in fact when there was direct defiance towards God, no sacrifice was offered by the repentant person. chesed |
