of another. Deuteronomy 24:16 - Every man shall be put to death for his own sins. Ezekiel 18 - The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Let's not misinterpret the scriptures to prop up a misguided religion.

Answer 1

That's right. And there is not now, nor has there ever been in Judaism any kind of messianic figure who is killed as a virgin human blood sacrifice for sin, as Christianity teaches that Jesus was.

This is a total abomination to Jews, and not the role of the Messiah in Judaism whatsoever. This concept comes from all the old ancient pagan religions that had human sacrifice for sin (to appease the gods, etc.), and was adopted by Christianity. When Judaism was founded by Abraham, this was the type of culture all around that area. Abraham took his new religion, Judaism, AWAY from all that, rejected it completely and did not incorporate it into Judaism. Christianity turned right around and put it back in.

EDIT: lol, Sophia (answerer above me). Yep, Im going to get a ton of thumbs down too, but oh well!

EDIT 2: To EDGE: Ok, I'll correct you cause you're wrong :-)
We didn't only sacrifice animals for forgiveness. Blood sacrifices were used ONLY for unintention sin, and this was done for all the nations, not just the Jews. The rest of the sacrifices were grain and other offerings. As well, PRAYER was used for forgiveness, directly to God, no intermediary allowed.

And then after the destruction of the Temple, in the book of Hosea, you will see the Jews asking God what they will do now as they have no Temple in which to bring sacrifices any longer. God tells them "From now on, the PRAYERS OF YOUR LIPS will substitute as the bulls of sacrifice".

Long before Jesus. As you can see, there was never any need for, and in fact human virgin blood sacrifice is an abomination to God, and was NEVER the role of the Messiah in Judaism. Christianity took this from the old ancient pagan religion that practiced human blood sacrifice and incorporated it into their religion, LONG after the Jews were gone from it. If you would like to learn more about the real Messiah, please visit the Jewish website links I gave above.

Answer 2

What I find amusing is the Christian assertion that Jesus is the "lamb" of the sacrifcie for the Korban Chatas (atonement sacrifice). Whats funny about that? Simple the Korban Chatas varied according to the persons status:
Kohen Gadol (High Priest) - A bull
Nasi (King/Prince/Noble) - a male goat
Hedyot (anyone else) - a female goat or female sheep.

For a Hedyot that could not afford the female goat or female sheep- a dove or pigeon, if they could not afford that- the a korban orlah (a mix of flour and wine)

Now, what is missing? What they claim Jesus to be- a lamd used for a Korban Chatas! Its laughable- the one thing that was never used for a Korban is what they claim him to be! On top of that they use another thing- human sacrifice, which is completely forbidden in Judaism as so graphicly demonstrated with Abraham and the almost sacrifice of Isaac.

Answer 3

Keep in mind that when the text was written, there was no thought of an afterlife. When one dies, they are dead and are buried -- sheol (the unknown).

There is a death penalty in Judaism, but it was seldom, if ever used. Do you really expect that they would appoint a scapegoat for everyone's sins? We do have an actual scapegoat we use to ritually toss our sins away. No one has ever interpreted that to mean that the goat must die in order to remove our sins!

Answer 4

Perhaps it would be beneficial to consider the scripture you provided us along with Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22. That is why the sacrifice of Jesus is called a propitiatory sacrifice. That is why it is also called a corresponding ransom. Let's not reject other scriptures which speak on the same subject. They all, in fact, dovetail quite nicely.

Answer 5

fake reasoning my chum. till now Jesus the Jews made blood sacrifices as atonement for their sins, with out which they might by no potential be forgiven. This became right into a covenant made by potential of God with the rustic of Israel so as that they could be perfect in his sight. God placed this covenant in place so as that he might desire to 'forgive their blunders, and their sin (I) will undergo in innovations not greater' (Isaiah 31:34. Jesus provided an enduring blood sacrifice wherein, if we have faith and settle for we are forgiven; Hebrews 10:12 'yet this guy presented one sacrifice for sins continuously.' Jesus extra a pair of recent covenant that each and one and all mankind might desire to income by potential of, Mathew 26:28 'for this mean my blood of the covenant , it quite is to be poured out on behalf of many for forgiveness of sins'. Jesus replaced the literal sacrificial lamb that became into presented up by potential of the Jews; John a million:29 'See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the international' actual, each and every guy would be placed to loss of life for his very own sins because of the fact 'the wages sin will pay is loss of life' (Romans 6:23) and as we are all genetically sinners because of the fact we've inherited sin from Adam, all of us die; (Romans 5:12) although, by potential of putting faith in this eternal sacrifice we too have our sins coated over (Psalm 32:a million) although, 'if we practice sin willfully after having gained the precise awareness of the actuality, there is not any sacrifice for sins left' (Heb. 10:26) in this feeling 'the soul that sinneth, it shall die.' So, i'm afraid that your assumption that scripture is misinterpreted is the component it quite is defective.

Answer 6

Moses, was referring to people who were worshipping the
golden calf that they had made, rather than worshiping God.

That was their sin. Yes Jesus did die on Calvary's cross for the sins of mankind. And yes there will come a day when those who have rejected Jesus' will stand before God.

Answer 7

This is why his death does pay for our sins. Because Jesus was perfect and without sin, he never should have died. But, because he was put to death unjustly, when he returned to heaven and his Father, he was able to offer that perfect human life that was unjustly taken from him as a ransom to pay for Adam's perfect life that he lost by being disobedient to God. By buying back Adam's lost perfect life, people exercising faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice can have their sins forgiven and Jesus now becomes our Eternal Father in place of Adam. The person who thumbed me down, this is why you lose, because you do not believe.

Answer 8

Correct me if I am wrong, which I am not, but in the OT they sacrificed animals for forgiveness. These sacrifices are what gave them forgiveness. Jesus is the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. He was and is the sacrificial lamb that paid for our sins. Exactly the same as the sacrifices in the OT only in this case one sacrifice for all time.

Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Answer 9

very interesting point but remember Jesus was the only one to fulfil the old law perfectly when he died he bore all our sins past present and future.so by old law since he bore our sins he had to die by old law commands.we are now under a new law the old law is for our learning.remember everything isn't all in one place to read we have to search the scriptures

Answer 10

You make a statement and then disallow responses. Hmmmm, sounds like atheistic proselytizing to me.
