we believe in the entire "old testament". the first 5 books are the torah, not the first 4. and no, animal sacrifice has not happened for almost two thousand years. people repent for their sins through prayer and making amends.

No. We do not believe in blood sacrifices. If one believed that a blood sacrifice was necessary before God would forgive you, then even one example where God forgave without a blood sacrifice would prove that this idea is UnBiblical. There are many such examples, but the most interesting is found in the Book of Leviticus. The reason this is so interesting is that it comes right in the middle of the discussion of sin sacrifices, which is found in the first chapters. In Leviticus 5:11-13, it states, "If, however, he cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, he is to bring as an offering for his sin a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering." One can also see that one does not need a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins in the Book of Jonah 3:10. There, the Bible simply states that God saw the works of the people of Ninevah. Specifically it says that the works God saw were that they stopped doing evil, and so God forgave them. There are plenty of other examples, and the idea that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins is UnBiblical.

A sacrifice is done in the temple. And right now, its in ruins in Jerusalem. So no sacrificial lamb since 70 AD

the sacrifice of a lamb is performed more than once a year by some. they believe in the torah, the firsty FIVE books as the basis of their law and religion. they believe in the rest of the old testament, the prophets, proverbs, etc as historical events and teachings, but not as laws or religion.
