WHY JESUS DID NO’T HAVE TO DIE to Atone for Sins - Sin, Atonement and Blood Sacrifice - Rabbi Skobac 

Hello TheSmithDorian, I agree he does a brilliant job on cutting through fog. I may have to do some videos challenging some of his statements where he doesn't realize he's actually proving the Christian's points. The rabbi's re-translation of Isaiah actually does this. The messiah is coming to save the righteous. Hmmm. That kinda sounds like one of the seeds in Christianity's core. What do you think?

Hi there I am not a Rabbi, just an observant Jewish soul. We had a Temple and sacrifices because G-d, our Creator commanded us to build for Him a Sanctuary. Every detail of the construction of the Mishkan, the portable Sanctuary worshipping G-d therein, is written down in the Torah. Our Creator gave the Torah, directly to the Children of Israel at Mount Sinai. It is an obligation upon us to fulfill our end of the Eternal Covenant which was entered into between our Creator and our father Abraham, which was sealed in our flesh via the Commandment concerning circumsion G-d commanded that every male of Bnei YIsrael / the Children of Israel MUST be circumcised on his 8th day of life. We cannot just bring a sacrifice in the Temple in Jerusalem right now, because it was destroyed by Titus. There was the son of Emperor Vespasian. When G-d brings about the Third Temple we will once again bring offerings to the Jerusalem Temple, at any such time as Hashem our G-d wishes to have us do so. We who keep the Covenant and happy to dwell in His House for the length of days.

Good questions. This is a very good place to get your answers! Jews for Judaism has teachings you can watch and take notes and then study for yourself in the TaNaK. Glad you’re researching! The TaNaK is truth!

+Mary Maratty I left the Church some time ago, because of anti semitism. so I have been searching for my way to G-D, because I am not Jewish, and found out that, we who were not Jew were the Gentiles, and that after the flood, G-D gave another commandment, from that I found that I could follow the Noahide laws. age 71 and I had no idea that G-D has given all of us a way to him. You can find the 7 laws of Noah on the internet, I hope that will help. Many Blessings

Thankyou I will look.

But who is in dangerous practice, Christian?

If you believe that Gd would honor human sacrifice then you have major issues to work out--cognitive dissonance....

Nehesu Nag-Negus El so true! And no one will listen! No one cares! They have GRACE!!! 😳

It was probably a bit of both. Paul´s Jesus very likely didn´t exist. It´s also likely that the Jerusalem apostles didn´t teach or belileve that Jesus was god. Mark´s gospel has an ending that was added later. But what matters is that the Jews were right all along and many christians are now discovering this and also the beautify of Judaism and the Torah.

I notice that all comments have been hidden or deleted here?

He is not saying that animal sacrifices were not needed. They were actually an integral part of the process of teshuva-repentance. Just like a husband brings flowers to his wife. However, his point is that sacrifices ALONE do not suffice to bring atonement. There needs to be inner change through return-repentance.

***** Thanks...but then if one can atone without sacrifice....that means that sacrifice is not needed for atonement...or is it that they were needed back then but are no longer needed now?

Sacrifices served many purposes: 1. extracting financial payment, charity, as an act of contrition, to support the temple servants; 2. a means of increasing brotherhood among the people since for certain sacrifices, the food was shared with others 3. Instilling in people a reminder of the frailty & fleetingness of life and realization that a person may have committed sins whereby his life too may be terminated. 4, A rectification of a cultural phenomenon which was present among humanity and the Torah instituted humane means of executing the sacrifice and placed constraints as far as who may be allowed to do such a thing; etc., etc. The sacrifice does not atone without self-correction and certainly does not atone for intentional sin. That was just a distortion by later religions.

When the Temples were up and running it was in fulfillment of the commandments to sacrifice them. However, after both Temples were destroyed God allowed an acceptable substitution of prayer in place of sacrifices. This is explicitly stated in Hosea 14:2. If your Christian translation seems unclear about this matter it is due to the translators having been very uncomfortable about giving an honest and straightforward translation it would completely undermine the very Christian theology that they are out to promote. Anyway, Christians insist that Jesus was the substitute sacrifice after the Second Temple was destroyed. Problem with that that the First Temple was also destroyed - so where was Jesus to act as a substitute between the First and Second Temples? Why was his "saving grace" only extended after the destruction of the Second Temple and not for the First Temple as the same "problem" of having been unable to offer blood sacrifices was also in effect? The truth is that Christians have no answer for this as it is an insurmountable problem for Christian theology.

First, you failed to direct yourself to answering my question. Second, the Hebrew Bible, starting at Ezekiel 37:24 describes the messiah ("My servant David") to be the prince of the Jewish people forever who will also rebuild the Temple to stand forever. If that's supposed to be Jesus at his 2nd coming why did the text tell us that it will be David and not Jesus? (For that matter there's no prediction in the Hebrew Bible that the messiah will need a 2nd coming - it's only the NT that needs a 2nd coming to make up for Jesus who was a failed messiah, who didn't bring world peace and didn't rebuild the Temple.) That verse in Ezekiel says that he will reinstate all the observances of the Torah, rebuild the Temple and in it he would reinstate animal sin sacrifices (see also Ez 46:20). I couldn't help but notice that the bit about resumption of animal sin sacrifices goes completely contra the New Testament book of Hebrews 10:11-18. Third, I find it typical that when Christians assume they know it all they try to dissuade others from searching for the truth by threatening hellfire. That's a convenient tool to manipulate others from learning and expressing the truth. Christians often resort to fear-mongering and the threat of burning for eternity on Jesus' eternal BBQ. This is a common reaction by Christian missionaries especially when our Hebrew Bible goes against their foundational doctrines. Fourth, funny how Christians accuse us Jews of misreading OUR Bible when we read it in the original language, a language that we learn as our mother tongue here in Israel! Are you able to claim the same? Its a joke when a Christian tells ME that I don't know what MY Bible says when I can read the many details, nuances and subtleties in the original Hebrew that can not be translated into any other language! All the while the Christian missionary depends on translators who were not above biasing and even twisting their translations to fit their doctrines. Fortunately for you, Ezekiel chapter 37+ the translators were unable to fuzz the meaning of that book so it's pretty clear, even in Christian translations, about what God intends to do in the end-of-days. Wanna know what the Hebrew Bible really says? Go learn to fluently read Biblical Hebrew yourself and don't depend on anyone else telling you what it says and thereby foisting their doctrines on you. (BTW, don't try to translate Hebrew word-for-word with a lexicon as it doesn't work.)
