Hello Zuriel..How's things? This oft' quoted Hebrews passage is a misquotation of Lev 17:11. Lev 17 is about the prohibition against eating blood. Why? Because the only legitimate purpose for blood outside the body is in sacrificial service. It is not to be used as a food or anything else. Leftover blood from a sacrifice is to be dumped on the ground. Even foreigners dwelling among the Israelites are forbidden from eating blood.
What is does NOT say, is that the ONLY means of atonement is the shedding of blood. Lev 5:11... 11 “‘If, however, they cannot afford two doves or two young pigeons, they are to bring as an offering for their sin a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour for a sin offering. They must not put olive oil or incense on it, because it is a sin offering. 12 They are to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar on top of the food offerings presented to the LORD. It is a sin offering. 13 In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
No blood shed....sins forgiven. Additionally, The vast majority of animal sacrifice is for UNintentional sin. Only about 5 or 6 INtentional sins require an animal sacrifice.
How are intentional sins forgiven? Prayer, repentance, charity, fasting....no blood required.
Ah yes, the ultimate works based perspective. And just so you can spit upon Jesus as God with us. You must be so proud! Does it make you all warm inside to trample God Grcae with such zeal? How special you are that the whole world except you and a small Jewish minority will be able to earn God’s rewards for your work. And that two thousand years of sharing the Gospel of God’s Grace to so many hundreds of millions? ... Well that is so easy for you to spit upon isn’t it?
