Question
What is the story with animal sacrifices today? Today, we give no animal sacrifices, but doesn’t it clearly say we need to sacrifice animals to atone for our sins?
Answer
See these verses –
Hosea 14:3 Take with you words, and return unto the Lcrd; Say unto Him: “Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; So will we render for bullocks the offering of our lip.”
Psalms 69:30-31 I will praise the name of Gcd with a song, and magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lcrd better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
Since Gcd took away from us the ability to offer animal sacrifices, the prophets indicated that prayer would take the place of sacrifice.
