in the OT bible it tells you exactly how an alstar should be made and how it should look and what it is to be used for.
so why dont christians make their altars the way the bible tells you to? and why dont you present offerings to your God?
they dont have to be animal sacrifices just some kind of offering,
like maybe flowers you could burn those for your God.
i think he would like it if you still did such things :)

The OT altars were all done in order to enter into God's presence ie the HOLY of HOLIES...now, we can come directly to God through Jesus Christ, who tore down the veils of the temple when He died, signifying that we now need NO mediator like they did in the OT...(the reason for the altars)...we come straight to the throne....He would NOT like it...it's offering a sacrifice to Him, and Jesus was the ULTIMATE sacrifice. It would be an affront!

We dont make burnt offerings because the offering of Jesus Christ as a sacrifice has replaced the need for the sacrifices specified in the OT

here we go again, for the 100th time on this forum, the Old Testament Altar was used for the blood sacrifice of animals, the new sacrifice is that of Jesus and so the altars are a bloodless sacrificial Altar.
