Ok...so (biblically speaking) sacrifice wasn't just an offering as recognition of God, but a way of erasing sin? I was confusing the two types of practices.

ok. But just as a side note, they do not sacrifice to "atone for sin," from my understanding. They sacrifice as an offering to God, a sign of respect. The concept of "sin" as Christians understand it is not present in many other religions. That's why I said I must have been confusing the two meanings between the biblical & other religious sacrifice.

ok

ok
