And Job, which was written a little after the flood, says, "I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in my flesh, I shall see God." David also mentions Him, and he lived around 1000 BC. And also certain prophets, especially Isaiah, give even a more detailed description of the coming Messiah. Even the magi knew by their reasonings that Christ was to be born, and when, and where. It was all written. This wasn't just something that happened as a surprise. Now of course they knew much less about Him in the Levitical times, but they still knew of him.(January 1, 2018 at 9:17 pm)Dan Brooks Wrote:
I don't have sinless blood. Jesus does. It's a spiritual cleansing that takes place when we believe on Him and what He did, and that He did it for us personally. We receive Him as our Lord, and our Savior, and He receives us as His children. I know it sounds foolish and ridiculous to people who don't believe it. But once you do believe it, it's amazing what happens. The peace you have, the assurance you have, the joy you have. It's pretty much impossible to explain to someone who doesn't believe it.
Answer the questions. jesus was not around at the time of Leviticus. The blood can't symbolize something they haven't perceived yet.
Or are you opting for the dodge?

Life can be and is amazing sure, but it is hardly handed down to us from above. Life also has some pretty nasty shit in it too. The only difference between you and me is that I don't assign any of this to sky heros or ground villains, good or bad.
But I most certainly do have intense feelings when pondering the good. I feel a great sense of love and loss for my late mother. I feel an intense sense of awe when my cat does something cute. What I don't do is chalk those things up to fictional beings. Just like I dont chalk cancer or earthquakes up to ground villains.
Neither do I.

it is. Jesus even said so.
John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
