if those who lived before coming of the christ didnt need for sacrifice (or as christians say they will be forgiven by their faith in God) then that means either they are not born with a sin or God dont need to sacrifice to forgive ppl
how are you now christians?

Actually, before christianity, it was judaism, and they had a lot of sacrifices. Read the old testament laws, they had plenty, and they had to make sacrifices based on particular sins. Before asking questions trying to put down other religions, do some research.
People who follow a murderer and child molester really don't have any room to be judging Jews and christians.

Didn't I already answer you on this? Animal sacrifices were like a credit card system. They provided a visible means of redemption for those who came before Jesus. Animal blood was worthless, but it provided a tangible symbol to represent the work that Jesus would do on the Cross. Do you still not see? Or do you not WANT to see?

Those who lived before Christ were saved by their faith as you mention but they could not have that eternal life until Christ died. In their faith they were looking ahead to His sacrifice, as we now look back on it. Not one of them went to heaven until Jesus paid the sacrifice and then they were released from Hades and taken to Heaven after Jesus died. (Ephesians 4) Believe me, or at least believe the Bible, they needed it!

To the contrary, those who lived before Christ DID need a sacrifice for their sins. And they got them on a regular basis. Christ arrived and provided the propitiatory sacrifice.

It's so hilarious to me that Muslims love to pick apart the Christian's bible and the Jew's torah, but essentially, they are the grandma and grandpa of your koran and twisted cult of Mohammad's version of "peace".
