Why u think?did Jesus have to die& rise for your and my sins?im Jewish?

Question

i have been reading the bible-and it is very interesting-and i prayed that prayer-Jesus im sorry for my sins-come into my heart and help me-be my friend-amen--he said to do that in Revelation 3 vs 19&20 -but couldnt he have just sent us rules -why did he have to fulfill what MOses and Isaiah said the blood atonement for our sins Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs12 to be the lamb of God sacrificed once for all for us. couldnt it have been left out of the bible? so he didnt have to come from heaven and take our place-adam and eve tried to cover their nakedness but God had to slay an animal (blood) and give them a animal skin to cover their sin. well what is your opinion? thanks alot pal

Answer 1

People were given rules before. The problem was that they were never able to follow them entirely. So when they messed up, they would make a sacrifice to God so that he would forgive their sins. The problem is that humans aren't perfect, and neither are our sacrifices, so we could keep on sacrificing all we like, but it would never be good enough. What we need is a perfect sacrifice that will serve as an offering for all time. Christ was the only possible perfect sacrifice, the only one good enough to be expiation for our sinfulness and able reconcile us with God.

Answer 2

He was the Lamb of God. And it was Passover that the rich man's tomb was closed on. What do you think God was trying to tell you with all those rituals? They were things that point to Christ.

He was the covering of gold over the ark of the covenant, the lid that if removed wouldn't protect those around it. He was the stone from which water poured. He was the pole that Moses raised, where the Israelites had to look in order not to die. hE was the Veil in the Tabernacle, that needed to separate the Holy place from the Holy of Holies. He was the kinsman redeemer, the type that was shown in Ruth as Boaz. He also is God, for when in scripture is God not the Salvation of His People.

Wrap all those up, and you have Jesus, who as it was prophecied, came to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. ( Isaiah 61:1-2a )
He will return and fulfill Isaiah 61:2b; that is, the great and terrible day of the Lord later.

I hope that helped you understand that, no matter if we think that he needed to come down and provided propitiation, he did.

Answer 3

The Atonement Was Necessary for Our Salvation
The fall of Adam brought two kinds of death into the world: physical death and spiritual death. Physical death is separation of the body and spirit. Spiritual death is separation from God. If these two kinds of death had not been overcome by Jesus’ atonement, two consequences would have resulted: our bodies and our spirits would have been separated forever, and we could not have lived again with our Heavenly Father.

But our wise Heavenly Father prepared a wonderful, merciful plan to save us from physical and spiritual death. He planned for a Savior to come to earth to ransom (redeem) us from our sins and from death. Because of our sins and the weakness of our mortal bodies, we could not ransom ourselves (see Alma 34:10–12). The one who would be our Savior would need to be sinless and to have power over death.
a* 8 And now, behold, I will testify unto you of myself that these things are true. Behold, I say unto you, that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men, to take upon him the transgressions of his people, and that he shall atone for the sins of the world; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
9 For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; for according to the great plan of the Eternal God there must be an atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish; yea, all are hardened; yea, all are fallen and are lost, and must perish except it be through the atonement which it is expedient should be made.
10 For it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice; yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of any manner of fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice; but it must be an infinite and eternal sacrifice.
11 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood which will atone for the sins of another. Now, if a man murdereth, behold will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother? I say unto you, Nay.
12 But the law requireth the life of him who hath murdered; therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement which will suffice for the sins of the world.
13 Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last sacrifice, and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle, and none shall have passed away.

Answer 4

Yes, He did, my friend. and you are right. Isaiah foretold it four or five hundred years before the Saviour was born and anyone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Saviour are saved.

Answer 5

my opinion is that you seem to be a christian already (and I'm somewhat skeptical that you're really jewish, anyways...) If, however, you are honestly interested in the *jewish* understanding of scripture, then I recommend you visit jewsforJUDAISM.org
