Christians, do you believe that Jesus was the "final and ultimate sacrifice" replacing the sacrificial system?

Question

According to the Bible, He did not replace any of the sacrifices...in fact after Saul became a believer and had his named changed to Paul he made sacrifices in the Temple:

Acts 21:26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purifying himself along with them, went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.


Plus, if you read Ezekiel you will see that another Temple will be rebuilt and sacrifices are still commanded by God. The Law of God is forever and does not change.

Answer 1

How do you explain this verse?

"For by one offering He (Jesus) has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. "

Hebrews 10:14

Answer 2

You have the location of the sacrifices right, but you don't know how to interpret them. Why is that?

Paul had a problem: James.

James was a Legalist, and thought that Christianity was to be fettered by the Law. That's why he got the story of Abraham wrong, and that's why he revealed himself as a legalist in Acts 15.

Every damn time James was around Paul Paul went to please the other legalists in Jerusalem. Why did Paul do it in Acts 21? To avoid a riot that James was saying would happen. And what happened after that? A bloody riot. It didn't do him any good to play up to James. I think that maybe God was teaching us something there.

And that was apparently after Paul had written Galatians. James was revealed as a legalist there too.

And then there is Zechariah 14, which hasn't happened yet.
The Feast of the Tabernacles. And that will go for a thousand years.

6 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The LORD [d] will bring on them the plague he inflicts on the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

So you need to requalify what you know about Jesus being the final sacrifice. I don't think that you understand it.

Answer 3

Absolutely! Some Jews, like Saul of Tarsus and Simon Peter were a little conflicted, at first; but I believe they probably gave up the Temple sacrifices as they grew in knowledge under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead all sincere Christians into the truth; but there are some mysteries we'll never know until we die, until the Rapture, or until revealed upon Jesus' return to set up His Millennial Kingdom!

Answer 4

Jesus was the final and ultimate sacrifice, to christians today the old testament, while still important and informative, is not relative in terms of laws, except for the 10 commandments, Paul and his followers still had to give sacrifices to appease the jews, and the second temple was built because there were/still are jews who don't/didn't believe in Christ.

Answer 5

Jesus indeed was the final sacrifice and the only sacrifice that was really pleasing to the Father, Jesus went and died for our sins, Jesus did not deserve to die but he did so that Jesus could redeem man kind for the sins. Thoes that reject the Sacrafice of Jesus had better reconsider becasue one day there is going to a judgment day and everyone will have to give an account for everthing that have ever spoken and done and Jesus will decide thier fate. And it does not look good for sinners that have rejected the only Sacrafice that was Holy and acceptable and pleasing to God, they will be lost forever. So if you don not know Jesus talk to him personally, and invite him into your heart. You also have to repent from all of your sins and turn from them and put Jesus first.Jesus did not cme to the earth to change the Law but to fulfill it.

Answer 6

Yes I do..

Yes Romans 3:31 says that the Law of God doesn't change, but the way we repent and sacrifice now does, Romans 12 is the parrellell of the Sacrificial system, to bring ourselves in line with Jesus and repent....

Answer 7

Jesus Christ is God as a results of fact He lived a sinless existence. He lived a sinless existence as a results of fact he's God Almighty interior the flesh. Being sinless is a function it truly is in basic terms available to God. as a result, Jesus Christ is God. all of us recognize that Jesus Christ is God by using a historic account as a results of fulfilled old testomony prophecy. there's a prophecy interior the old testomony that states that if the Jews (Israelites) rejected God (Jesus Christ) they are going to be exiled from their land. In 70 advert, approximately 37 years after rejecting Jesus Christ, the Jews have been exiled via the Roman Empire.

Answer 8

I believe that Jesus Christ was the final, perfect, and eternal sacrifice, because Jesus Christ is sinless and eternal/infinite. I believe that the sacrifice of Acts 21:26 is the Holy Eucharist, in which the same sacrifice of Christ at calvary is presented, just as Christ commanded his followers..."do this in Memory of me...." God bless.

Answer 9

No, I don't. That's why I've been trying to drop Christianity and enter a religion that suits my own personal beliefs.
Christians believe that they don't need to keep kosher and the holy day is Sunday. Isn't that funny, now? They took G-d's original law and bent it so they didn't have to be Jewish (real, actually. I learned this in Church History two years ago.). It doesn't make sense. That sort of thinking, that sort of changing, is like saying G-d is not perfect and, therefore, he changed his mind about certain laws/guidelines.

Answer 10

a qualified 'no'

The son of God is the ultimate sin offering.

There are many other non-sin sacrifices that
still SHOULD be made...but nobody does them.
