What Christians 'forget':
-Go'd forgives when HE deems right, ex. in book of Jonah and book of Esther, the ENTIRE people were forgiven when they... REPENTED.
-book of Kings 8:46-50 clearly gives example of G'ods forgiveness WITHOUT sacrifices.
-Hosea 14:3 clearly states that G'od shall except our prayers as ''sacrificial bulls''.
-when Lev. 17:11 mentions that blood 'atones' it states ''wuhich l (Go'd) have given it to you''. Since at present G'od has NOT ''given it to us'', we resort to other means- prayer good deeds and repentance.
-sacrifices were NEVER commanded for the gentiles.
Our deeds matter. Yes, G'ods grace is free, but we need to make an effort, not just ignore Go'ds commandments.
