The Late Great Urantia Revelation

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Calm down, this approach has only gotten you ruffled feathers with PJ.

I don't really care! He hasn't a problem with blaspheming the
Old and New Testaments by saying that God's demanding of
blood sacrifices is possibly 'demon-inspired!' So, why would
I care if FL gets angry?

I think it is wonderful that you believe as you do. History tells us that all Jewish writings were lost/destroyed when the Jews went into captivity in Babylon. After release Ezra and a group of scribes "recaptured" what they could from fragments and memories. Do you think they got it down perfectly?

It doesn't take rocket surgery to recapture the facts that God expected His people to keep the law of Moses and that the law of Moses required blood sacrifices.

Christ's going to the cross for the sins of mankind were required as well!

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Notice the 'correlation ' between the sacrifices in the Old Testament, and the
sacrifice of Christ on the cross in the New Testament?

You don't say? What would we do without your insight?

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

God is the creator of ALL! He calls the shots! If He said the shedding of
blood was necessary in the Old Testament, and necessary for Christ to
shed His blood on the cross then, who are we to say, that's disgusting or
unnecessary?

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

You don't say? What would we do without your insight?

Probably, not much of anything!

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Not bad for a guy 92 huh?

Perhaps you are correct. But was it the word of God or simply the pre captivity practices of their priesthood that was recaptured. There was a thousand years between the actual exodus and the release from Babylonian captivity. Who wrote Leviticus and the rest of the Torah? It is a book of the Jews and Jewish experts will tell you Moses did not author it.

Yeah... I wonder why that requirement is there, too. It think it must be the requirement set by sin when we became slaves to it by committing it, not by God.

It's probably best if we allow you to come to any final conclusions about that subject! We'll just trust your 'scholarly' approach here!

If God demanded it, that's the way it was/is! Again, who are we
to question God?

So you don't think the other prophets receiving messages directly from God in the OT would have told them to stop the blood sacrifices if it wasn't in accordance with the law?

Well, not everyone can handle the position of not asking about the details. I'm one of them and not necessarily willfully.

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

The 'ultimate' shedding of blood took place on the cross of Calvary! Christ
shed His blood for our sins! However, only those who place their faith in Him
as their Savior, will benefit from His sacrifice, and resurrection!

Then, go to God in prayer, and seek your answers!

I did and that's what I came back with. We gave sin the right to set its price when we became its slave by committing it.

 

[Grosnick Marowbe]

Has anyone on this thread ever read and studied the entire Bible, word for word, and cover to cover?

The Bible says, The wages of sin is death!

Yes, also that we can be slaves to it.
