When did the Jewish nation stop using animal sacrifices for atonement of sins?

Question

what do they do today for atonement of sins, since they do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah and are still waiting for their Messiah? correct me if I am wrong about the latter... thank you :-)

If any of you who answer me is of the Jewish faith, please tell me, I would like to chat with you a bit and learn more, if that is possible. Thank you.

Answer 1

In July 70 AD, when the Roman siege of Jerusalem cut off further supplies of livestock reaching the city, the sacrifices stopped in the Temple, which was destroyed a few weeks later.
In place of animal sacrifice, oral and written prayer has taken over as the Jewish form of worship ever since.

Answer 2

The Jewish people stopped animal sacrifice when the Romans sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple. Before the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD the sacrifice of animals was done on the alter, and without either the alter or the Temple, any sacrifice would have been unacceptable according the Law. Ofcourse a good Christian will tell you that Christ's death made animal sacrifice obsolete and unnecessary, since his death was judged by God to be more complete.

Answer 3

Sacrifices were no longer possible after the 2nd Temple was destroyed in the year 70 A.D. Leviticus spells out specific ways sacrifices must be made -- and always in the Temple. When the Temple was destroyed, sacrifices were replaced by prayer.

If God sent Jesus as a sacrifice, it wasn't done properly. The only part of a sacrifice meant for God was the pleasing odor -- the sacrifice itself was consumed by the priests and their families. Since the Levites were given no land, they were supported by the community at large.

Not all sacrifices were animals. Many sacrifices were of oil, grain, etc. Sacrifices were never more than people could afford. When God stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son, the Israelites learned that human sacrifice is NEVER acceptable to God. Other peoples made human sacrifices, but it was forbidden to God's chosen people. Sacrifices had to be made in strict accordance with instructions in the Torah.

Answer 4

After 70 AD...
when God permitted the Jewish Temple to be destroyed.

Very likely as indication that now that the Jewish Messiah had come, and had offered himself as the ultimate sacrifice, there was no more need for animal sacrifices.

Answer 5

When the temple was destroyed around 70 ad. The sacrifices could only be performed in the temple. Technically Jesus was the last "blood sacrifice". His blood has atoned for all sins.

Answer 6

Jesus died so as that our sins might want to be forgiven, and we once more effective had the right to enter heaven. Baptism erases the stain of unique sin and any sins dedicated. After Baptism, all sins dedicated must be absolved by ability of the Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation. it truly is Scriptural.

Answer 7

When the temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70ad for the most part.

Answer 8

LOL, probably around

500 BCE when the Tribe of Aaron was carried off to Babylon (the Tribe of Aaron was the only ones who COULD sacrifice to god on behalf of the NATION). So who COULD do it in their place? No one. Period. God had left no one in their place to be able to do it. After all, its up to HIM whats acceptable to HIM.

Answer 9

When Rome destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in about 90AD

Answer 10
