PassOver Lamb of God?

What, EXACTLY does God say about human sacrifice in the TaNaCH? In Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls Human sacrifice something that He hates, and an abomination to Him, "for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. In Jeremiah 19:4-6, God tells us that Human sacrifice is so horrible a concept to Him, that it did not even come into His mind to demand it from His creation, "They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind." We see the same thing in Psalm 106:37-38, and in Ezekiel 16:20. This means that God would not accept Jesus's death on the cross as a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. The very idea of that God would accept a human sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins is UnBiblical.

Christians identify Messiah with Jesus and define him as God incarnated as a man, and believe he died for the sins of humanity as a blood sacrifice. This means that one has to accept the idea that one person's death can atone for another person's sins. However, this is opposed to what the Bible says in Deuteronomy 24:26, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin," which is also expressed in Exodus 32:30-35, and Ezekiel 18. The Christian idea of the messiah also assumes that God wants, and will accept, a human sacrifice. After all, it was either Jesus-the-god who died on the cross, or Jesus-the-human. Jews believe that God cannot die, and so all that Christians are left with in the death of Jesus on the cross, is a human sacrifice. However, in Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls human sacrifice an abomination, and something He hates: "for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods." All human beings are sons or daughters, and any sacrifice to God of any human being would be something that God would hate. The Christian idea of the messiah consists of ideas that are UnBiblical.

Passover had each thing to do with God/Jesus! The social gathering of Passover pointed to Jesus, like lots else contained in the previous testomony did. you have in all probability heard of Jesus being called "The Lamb of God." properly, each Passover, each kin would sacrifice and consume a lamb, at a similar time as the extreme priest would sacrifice a single Passover lamb for all of Israel. The lamb had to be appropriate. It grew to become into heavily watched and protected to make beneficial it does not get any sort of a blemish or mark. Jesus, killed at Passover time, grew to become into the perfect, sinless lamb that God presented, "that takes away the sins of the international" !! desire this facilitates. :)

What's the big deal about sacrifice? Do you ever have a backyard BBQ? What's wrong with offering the aroma to God?

Deuteronomy 27:6 Of whole stones shall you build the altar of HaSham, your God, and you shall bring upon it burnt-offerings to HaShem, your God. You shall slaughter peace-offerings and EAT there, and you shall rejoice before HaShem, your God.

After the Temple had been built, all sacrifices were made there and the Levites consumed the offerings -- grain, oils, little critters, etc. Sacrifices were the Levites' only means of support. They were the Temple caretakers and their families who had no other means of support.

There were many laws about how to slaughter the animals in a humane way. Jesus would have been disqualified as a sacrifice, because a sacrifice must be perfect and without blemish.

You do know, of course, that Passover is a Jewish festival?

And you appreciate that the Christian bible does not get to REdefine the entire meaning OF Jewish customs and festivals?

Jesus had nothing to do with Passover. NOTHING. Not thousands of years ago. Not last year. Not this year. And not NEXT year.

If you want to know about a JEWISH topic, there is no point in quoting from the CHRISTIAN scriptures.

In Judaism, 'blood sacrifice' is FORBIDDEN. In the Tanakh, G-d specifically TELLS US he will not accept nor condone ANY man dying for the sins of others - it cannot be DONE. Each of us responsible for our OWN sins.

answer: RW is right, the passover lamb wasn't a sin sacrifice. And any sacrifice had to be unblemished - Jesus wasn't. He was beaten and lashed.

On top of that G-d doesn't accept human sacrifice and no one can take on the sins of another and G-d cannot become human or have offspring.

the truly funny part of that whole reference.

Passover has nothing to do with sin or repentance.

the "Passover Lamb" isn't a sin sacrifice! so basically the christian assertion of Jesus being the passover lamb ... doesn't really even make coherent sense.

"Lamb of God" was a term that John the Baptist used to describe Jesus.

So, what is your question?

I'm also a fan of Lamb of God (the band).
