Jews: The old testament talks about animal sacrifices to atone for sin. Why don't you do that anymore?

Question

Christians,Muslims, or other non-Jews don't need to answer this. Stricly Jewish people or those who know the Jewish answer.

Christians don't you understand I could give a f-u-c-k less about your Jesus and answer? I want the Jewish answer to this. Stop posting about your Jesus.

Answer 1

Hi, in case you don`t recieve a Jewish answer here is the answer, it is because the sacrifice was a temple one and the Jews are waiting on the building of the new temple in Jerusalem.

Answer 2

Jews abandoned animal sacrifice at the year 70 A.D. with the destruction of the Holy temple in Jerusalem, by the Romans.
since then Jews changed most of their religious customs.
on the other hand, since then many Christians found that they enjoy the sacrifice of Jews, to atone for the sins of Christians.

Answer 3

The animal sacrifices were a shadow of things to come, it basically represented the coming perfect sacrifice which was Christ, in the OT the animal sacrifices were done by a high priest and done once a year to cover the sins of the people, and just in case the priest wasn't prepared they tied a rope around him in case God struck him dead in the temple they could pull him out there is a scary thought. The two things most important in the animal sacrifice was the shedding of blood and the death of the animal, just as Christ dies, without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin and our blood is our life line without it we would die.
Christ was the ultimate sin sacrifice once and for all.

Answer 4

OK here is your Jewish answer.

The Bible dose not say in any way shape and form that you need animal sacrifices to atone for sin.

on the contrary it said the exact opposite. Read the Book of Ester. What happened? The Jews sinned, they fasted and repented and then G-d forgave them. Look at the Book of Jonah. The people of Nineveh sinned, they fasted, repented and were saved.

in both cases not a single sacrifice was brought.

During biblical times if a person committed a sin and bought a sacrifice, but had not repented the sacrifice was meaningless.
The point of a sacrifice is to bring about repentance as well as doing what G-d commanded, but the only way for a person to be forgiven for a sin is to repent and correct his misdeed.

the Prohphets go in great detial on this.

Take with you words, and return unto the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept us graciously: so will we render as bullocks the offerings of our lips" (Hos. 14:1-2)

"Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, and repenteth him of the evil" (Joel 2:13).

Repentance brings pardon and forgiveness of sin (Isaiah 55:7). Outside of repentance the prophets and apostles know of no way of securing pardon. No sacrifices, nor religious ceremonies can secure it. Not that repentance merits forgiveness, but it is a condition of it. Repentance qualifies a man for a pardon, but it does not entitle him to it.

Answer 5

Sacrifices need to be made in The Holy Temple. The Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. The Temple needs to be on the Holy location where currently stands The Dome Of The Rock.

The materials have been acquired and the workers have been trained to rebuild the temple.

Jewish Priests are currently being trained to perform those sacrifices again and the animals for those sacrifices are being collected.

We wait for The Dome Of The Rock to be destroyed.

Answer 6

When the temple was destroyed in the Jewish war with Rome, prayer could replace sacrifices until the temple was rebuilt.

Unfortunately, there is Mosque (Dome of the Rock) that is on the Temple site, and Judaism forbids destroying religious sites.

That is the basic reason.

Answer 7

Prayer has replaced the placement of "karbonos", sacrifices. some sacrifices were certainly provided even as someone transgressed, yet maximum were provided for different motives. We divide sin into 2 diverse sorts. (a million)between guy and guy, and (2) between guy and G-d. the first classification calls for searching for forgiveness from the guy sinned adverse to. the second one is done by performing "teshuvah", loosely translated as repentance. Teshuvah calls for: a million. Regretting the performance of the transgression in a unmarried's heart 2. Committing to by no potential performin g the transgression again. some Jews quickly on particular days of the week as a attitude to atonement to boot, besides the undeniable fact that that is purely practiced by very holy people. Yom Kippur has the purpose of atoning for sins between guy and G-d. Fasting (25 hours, no nutrients or drink), severe prayer, personal confession and remeberance of the lifeless all help to create a body of recommendations in which a Jew can honestly do teshuvah. concerning the guy the following who says Jew are lost, I bear in mind the Christian bumper decal familiar in the1970's that reported "i found It". quickly after, Jewish bumper stickers got here out that reported "We by no potential lost It". that is unlucky that particular Christians experience this compulsion to cajole the Jews that they have got all of it incorrect. We pre-date the Christians by 1000's of years, and, not like the Christians, our religions has not been tainted by mistranslations of the unique Hebrew source texts and inclusion of pagan rituals and customs. trust me, we do not favor Jesus, we are doing purely high-quality, waiting for the authentic Messiah to go back.

Answer 8

We need to have an Altar in the right spot, and we don't know exactly where on the Temple Mount that is. Read Deuteronomy 13-14 and Hoshea 14:2.

Answer 9

Please don't pick this as the best answer.

I just wanted to make a point of saying that I admire, wholeheartedly, your mature and respectful manner in which you ask the question. I also feel really sorry for the people on here who don't seem to understand that THIS QUESTION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS!

So, just wanted to say...if I was Jewish, I would be very inclined to answer and not be offended in any way. Too bad more people can't ask questions like you do.

Answer 10

Good question, thanks for asking. I learned something that I was not aware of. I only know one Jewish person in town, and I have asked many things never thought to ask that one though. And you are right, some people who are Christians don't grasp the fact that Christ is not the savior in the eyes of the Jewish person then or now.
