12770, 2 different meanings Posted by LexM, Thu Jun-14-01 04:50 AM
>The sacrificial practices symbolizes...something innocent paying >the sin debt of the >Guilty.
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.
>But the animal sacrifice >does not actual pay our >sin debt. These practices symbolized >what Christ was to do >for the World's sin debt. >The symbolism of the practice >(sacrificing animals) Was Fulfilled and >the actual sin debt of >the world was atoned for >due Christ's Sacrifice on the >cross.And one can only get >to the Father because of >His Atonement for our sins......If >you don't Trust/Believe in Christ's >your sins go unatoned for. >
ok
>The sacrifice of animals to the >God that exist is okay...Who >or what ever entity that >Voodoo practioners sacrifice their animals >to is Not God of >the Bible the only God >that exists.
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.
>There is no need for Christians >to sacrifice Animals to God >anymore. Because the symbol has >been fulfilled through Christ)
ok
>God created the option of choice >(Free will). God doesnt want >us to do bad. But >we (as humans) choose to >do bad stuff all the >time.
ok
