In the OT, the death of Bulls and Goats is good for the forgiveness of all the Sin of the Jews for one whole year, is Jesus Death and resurrection good for purchasing my Righteousness for eternity?

The basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us:::\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27 .....Behold, all \nsouls are mine; as the soul of the father, so \nalso the soul of the son is mine: the soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. Eze 18:20 The soul \nthat sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not \nbear the iniquity of the father, neither shall \nthe father bear the iniquity of the son: the \nrighteousness of the righteous shall be upon \nhim, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be \nupon him. But if the wicked will turn from all \nhis sins that he hath committed, and keep all \nmy statutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Etrnl Gd: and not that \nhe should return from his ways, and live?.... \nEze 18:26 When a righteous man turneth away \nfrom his righteousness, and committeth \niniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity \nthat he hath done shall he die. Again, when \nthe wicked man turneth away from his \nwickedness that he hath committed, and doeth \nthat which is lawful and right, he shall save \nhis soul alive. \n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacri

That is a fantastic question... Moses gave us the law. The law was giveing to man that he might find out that he could not live up to it. now God is righteous so he could not look upon sin. So at the time of Moses God allowed sacrificeces to be made thes sacrifices were a temporary solution and they reflected Gods plan to save mankind... as often a lamb was used.Now the way for a permanant salvation could only come from God... understand that the angels had turned on God the angels were creation so like man the angels were falable all things crated by God were falable while they may have at one time been perfect they could corrupt as did Lucifer..,. God ned someone who was not creation to be the sacrifice for man.So God came to earth in the form of man This man was Jesus the son of God... he was a part of our father in heaven he was not creation... he was God. Jesus came from heavin to be tempted by Satan to overcome sin. and then to die for all of our sins one time and forever.Jesus was the Lamb of God and the only one who could save us from sin.

This concept have bothered me as well, but the truth is there is no eternal condemnation.\n\n(edit)\nI have done some research on this subject and have come to the conclusion that well...Judaism(ask any Jew) do not believe in hell, and they do not believe that a none Jew will not be saved. Why would Jesus be called a saviour if he brought more suffering to the world(hell)?  Jesus died for all to be saved! Not one soul will perish. Jesus died so that all will live an eternal life with "love", with "God".\n\nThis is my belief and some other Gnostics too, but it comes from above. Many followers of "Satan" will scare you with hell and try steal "love" from you, but remember always: God is love and who ever dwells in love dwells in God and God in them.\n\nSo many of the "christians" believe in mythology rather than in God. Did any great prophet know literature? No, they knew God. Where is God?\n\nLuke 17:20-21\nJesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."\n\n\n\n\nThe crucifixion was but a physical representation of what was happening spirituality.

Very good question ..... and please tell me anyone knows ..the thing my brother mentioned is present in BIBLE or not ...because bible has different opinion to get the eternal life...\n\n"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’\nAnd he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "\n[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]\n\nso people who think ...that by following the commandments they wont get heaven ....are they not following Jesus ????? are they having their own opinion conflicting with jesus ...do they know more than jesus ????\n************************************************\nA friend mentioned that God and Jesus are one ... it means if Jesus has died on cross (according to christians) then God is also no more ..(nauzubillah) ...because according to christians both are one ...and what about the holy spirit ????

Well, to restate it slightly for purposes of clarification, in the Hebrew Scriptures, an unblemished lamb was sacrificed in accord with what God says at Leviticus 17:11:  it is the blood that makes atonement (not God's wrath – but atonement).  That is why Paul said what he did as you quoted.  So all those animal sacrifices - which were not sufficient to bring lasting atonement (inasmuch as animals are inferior to man) – pointed to the one sacrifice that would balance the scales of justice.  Yes he rose again from the dead but this does not mean he was not sacrificed.  In order to understand the ransom, you must understand what was owed.  Adam was a perfect human person – no more and no less. Adam was not an animal, Adam was not half God and half man, Adam was not half angel and half man.  To understand the payment, one must understand the debt. To balance the scales, a perfect human person had to be sacrificed.  That is what Jesus was on earth:  a perfect human person.  That is why the scriptures call him the last Adam.  He existed in the heavens as a spirit creature before being born as a human.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  This is the key:  he did not sacrifice his right to ever live again.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  Therefore, he was resurrected as a spirit creature and returned to heavenly life.  Now, IF he returned as a human again, THAT would invalidate his sacrifice.  But as it is, he did not sacrifice his right to live – he sacrificed his life as a perfect human man.

i can see most people didnt give u that good of an anwser. In the Bible the book of Revelations gives you answers to this very question. One day God will distroy this world but replace it with a better one. All who are saved with go to heaven. When Jesus returns to Earth like he promised the believers will go to heaven. The rest will stay on Earth. Tribuation of 7 years. Then all will be judged and the final battle of good and evil will occure. Good will win and our bodies will be reseructed and we will live in harmony with God and all heavenily beings.

This is a pretty difficult question to answer.  \n\nAt death the body and soul are separated.  Those who will spend eternity in Hell seem to go to a type of waiting area.  Those who will spend eternity go to a similar waiting area - called Abraham's bosom at times - also called paradise.\n\nUpon the return of Jesus we will be given a body once again (the final resurrection) and the Sheep will spend eternity with God and the goats will spend eternity in Hell.

Why Did Jesus Have To Suffer And Die?\n \nTwo primary qualities of God help us understand why Jesus Christ had to suffer and die in order to redeem mankind. First, God is righteous. Thus His justice demands that a penalty for sin be paid. As Kenyon writes:\n\nGod cannot ignore the fact of man’s hideous transgression. That transgression must be punished, and if man is restored to God, it must be upon grounds that will not pauperize man nor rob him of his self respect; but it must be upon legal grounds that will perfectly justify man in the sight of God... \n\nSecond, God is love. Thus, in His grace and mercy, He decreed that the penalty for sin could be paid by a substitute, providing that the substitute be sinless. God wanted, and mankind needed, a man who:\n\n...met the demands, first, of the heart of Deity for a perfect human who would do His will; second, He met the demands of fallen man in that as a man He met the Devil and conquered him in honorable open combat. [2]\n\nBecause of the magnitude of Adam’s sin and its reverberating ramifications, only the death penalty would satisfy true justice. Hebrews 9:22 says that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [of sin].” In the Old Testament, it was the death of unblemished “stand-in” lambs and other animals that God allowed to temporarily cover His people’s sins (Hebrews 10:1-14). These sacrifices were foreshadows, or types, of the coming Redeemer, Jesus Christ. He is the true “Lamb of God” whose blood was shed to take away the sin of the world (John 1:29).\n\nHebrews 9:14\nHow much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!\n\nAs we have stated, Jesus Christ was the only man who was “without spot or blemish,” both genetically and behaviorally. As such, only He could qualify to offer His life as the payment for the sin and sins of mankind. The suffering and death of Jesus Christ was part of God’s plan to make available salvation to all mankind.\n\nHebrews 9:27-28\n(27) Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,\n(28) So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.\n\nWhat the blood of bulls and goats could do only temporarily for Israel in the Old Testament, the blood of Jesus has done once and for all for everyone who believes in Him. He bore our sins in his own body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). By His freedom of will He gave up His life for us. He willingly endured the pain of the cross and death for all men. We must understand, however, that it was not God who was responsible for Jesus’ death. Note the following verses:\n\n1 Corinthians 2:7-8\n(7) No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.\n(8) None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.\n\nThe “rulers of this age” are Satan and his evil-spirit sidekicks (the disobedient angels that were cast down to earth with him). God’s Word plainly says that it is the Devil who was responsible for killing Jesus Christ.\n\nOnce the dominion of the world was given to Satan, and mankind was ruined by sin, God has had to ask people to step into harm’s way so that His redemptive purposes could be accomplished. Jesus Christ is the chief example of this, and there are many others (see Hebrews 11). Jesus suffered so that those who believe on Him can one day have peace and joy forever, and a taste of it even in this life. In Jesus, we see the epitome of the redemptive value of suffering, a subject we will discuss later.\n\nHebrews 5:7-9 (Moffatt)\nIn the days of his flesh, with bitter cries and tears, he offered prayers and supplications to Him who

My thoughts go back to the book of Genesis right before Kane killed Abel. Kane and Abel both brought sacrifices to God. Kane brought a beautiful basket of delicious fruit and Abel brought bloody portions of a raw chopped up lamb. As a man I would be much more grateful to receive a cool looking fruit basket than some bloody raw meat.\n\nBut God said that Kane's offering was unacceptable while Abel's was pleasing to Him. We now know that even back then God was using the sacrifice of a lamb to point to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus, the Lamb of God, made to pay our sin debt.\n\nIt's the same way with this "many paths, one destination" doctrine. People are trying to set the conditions for entrance into Heaven based upon what "makes sense to them". But God says his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. He is the Creator of all things and He is the final arbitrator of who enters Heaven and who gets cast into the Lake of Fire.\n\nWhen people say that they think that since God is love, He should see things their way and give them a break because they try to live a good life, what they are really saying is "I don't need your Son to get into Heaven. He should have just stayed where He was and saved himself all of the trouble. I'm a good person God. So you need to forget all about that Jesus stuff and just be cool and loving like I imagine you are and let me in, OK?"\n\nWhat an insult to God and Christ Jesus! I feel very sorry for people who have deceived themselves in such a manner. I can only imagine the shock they will experience when their entire life is unrolled before their eyes along with their innermost thoughts and all of their illusions about how "good" they were will be shattered in a million pieces as incident after incident is unveiled where they treated someone else in a shabby manner, where they looked at a member of the opposite sex and wanted to use them like an object, when they did all manner of things that they have conveniently forgotten about or justified by saying "Well, overall I lived a good life. Those were just the exceptions."\n\nThat's like a 50 year old man who "only" killed 5 people saying "Hey, 9 out of every ten years of my life I was good. Give me a break OK?"

Our sins were what Jesus died for. Also Jesus was crucified on a cross, that was done by the Romans. The Jews way would of been stoning. Give the Jews a break - they have paid plenty for anything they did with Jesus being put to death.\n\np.s. They are still God's people.

Jesus died for my sins.  It was a long time ago, but it affects me NOW.  I have been saved because of what he did.  I don't say anything about slavery, it doesn't matter any more.  Blacks have been freed, free for a VERY long time, and it doesn't make a difference.  Its not comparable to my religion.  Jesus saved my soul.  I will dwell on it, its the most important thing in my life.

Jesus Christ was to be a role model for us to follow, but as with all laws, the laws of the  old testament had consequences for breaking those laws, which was animal sacrifice. Since Adam by his disobedience to God, inputted the seed of sin in man, it was through the Death of A Good, Perfect Man, The Son of God, that the  penalty of the laws were fulfilled.

Jesus was not killed by the Jews. He gave His life willingly as a sacrifice for sin. This was prophesied and fufilled. The Jews rejected their Messiah, yes. But this was also prophesied to happen. The Jews will be redeamed and saved in the end. This is also prophesied and illustrated in Romans. It is very important that you read 17 verses further...\n\nRomans 11:25\nFor I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.\n\nOnce the number of gentiles is come in, God will remove the blinders from Israel.\n___________________________\nSorry, I always want to make that point regarding who killed Jesus. Just want to get it straight. ;)\n\nAs to your detail, Christians should NEVER ignore the Jewish people. They should take great interest in, for example, their Seders. I even did an interesting study on it. http://tinyurl.com/nchkw\nI have always been a proSemitic. I also designed the Holyland Virtual Tour CD. I have been to Israel 3 times (working on 4) and always encourage people to tour there. You will learn so much about the Jewish people there without media bias to poison what you see. I encourage my kids to bless the Jewish people whenever they can. The Jewish people have come to realize they have only one true friend who has stood by them through thick and thin... the evangelical Christian. It perplexes them, but they appreciate it with tears. And I appreciate them and all of the incredible benefits they have developed for our world in medicine, technology and agriculture. Too many benefits to list here.

The Bible says there is no sin for which you can't be forgiven if you've accepted Jesus as your personal Savior. I think suicide is easing your own burdens while dumping them all on the people who loved you that you've left behind.

Jesus did Die. \n \nJesus did Rise from the dead. \n\nBut Jesus never died the second time. Instead He went straight to heaven exactly forty days after he rose from the dead.  \n\n The Wages of sin IS death... Jesus died on the cross to pay for all the sin in the world. He paid for it so that we wouldn't have to pay for it. He died for all sin... He was sinless, so he was a perfect sacrifice. All we have to do is accept his gift. He is offering you it. Just accept Jesus as your Savior. Accept what he did on the cross for you. If you don't, you will have to pay for your sins in Hell, for an eternity.

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. \nI have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge \nwith as many people as I can. \nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific \nBiblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a \npleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. \nThey claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in \nExodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price \nfor her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her \nperiod of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? \nI have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with \na woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I \nkill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, \nprovided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims\nthat this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? \nWhy can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 \nclearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill \nhim myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists \n(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and \nsome other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when \nto kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination\n (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). \nI don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination \nwhen Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). \nHere, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of \nspeaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David \nand Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a \ncovenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself\nof the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even \nto his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship \nwith Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not \nto leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, \nI will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, \nand thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: \nthe Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.\n" Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a \ndefect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my \nvision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around \ntheir temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even \nthough 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair. \nHow should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me \nunclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is \nstrictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26, \ndoes that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose \nto eat meat?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different \ncrops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two \ndifferent kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse \nand blaspheme a lot. Is i
