Hebrews 9:22 says that "without the shedding of Blood, there is no forgiveness." In the Old Testament, a sacrifice of an unblemished lamb was required to satisfy God's wrath. Jesus, the sinless Son of God, died on the cross and became the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Jesus bought our forgiveness when he died on the cross.
However as He rose again from the dead HE WAS NOT SACRIFISED. Surely it would be a better religion if Jesus did not rise again and therefore was actually sacrificed. If you sacrifice you life but a couple of days later come back to life you sacrifice NOTHING.
What was sacrificed by Jesus, and has this removed the effects of original sin?
