WHAT IS MEANT IN HEBREWS SAYING THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS?

[shepherdsword]

[Numbers 15:30 KJV] 30 But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

There was no sacrifice offered for one of the congregation, or a stranger among them, to atone for willful sin.

Hebrews likewise does not offer a sacrifice for willful sinning...............[Heb 10:26 KJV] 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,.............under the new covenant there is no Levitical offering to atone for willful sin.

Why ask this?

He likely means the levitial law which speaks of sinning in ignorance (versus wilfully) and there always seemed to be forgiveness for a sin through ignorance.

Lev.4​

1. [2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
2. [13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
3. [22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
4. [27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

Lev.5​

1. [15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

Num.15​

1. [24] Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
2. [25] And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
3. [27] And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
4. [28] And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
5. [29] Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

Same with the Israelites and their rulers, Peter acknowledges it was through ignorance

Acts 3:17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

The Gentiles and their ignorance (God winked at) but now commands them to repent

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent

Earlier with the Gentiles worship in ignorance

Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you

Fashioning ourselves in a former lusts in our ignorance is also show

1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance

Paul even says, he obtained mercy because he did what he did ignorantly in unbelief

1 Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief

Then there is wilfully sinning, not sure where to find that in the OT, just here

Heb 10:6 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins

Edit:typo

I understand that. However, he inserted the term "Levitical" into Heb 10:6 when he quoted it. I was just wondering how he justified that.

Where does it say "Levitical" in the text?

In the new covenant according to Ezekiel the Levites, the sons of Zadok will once again offer sacrifices in the temple in the millennial kingdom

 

[Charlie24]

In the new covenant according to Ezekiel the Levites, the sons of Zadok will once again offer sacrifices in the temple in the millennial kingdom

Yes, Zechariah said this will be done in the Feast of Tabernacles. Whatever nation that doesn't come to this Feast (assumed each nation will send representatives) that nation will receive no rain.

So animal sacrifices will resume in the Millennial Kingdom.

I addressed this in another post, but I didnt insert it in the verse.......I was commenting on the verse

Hebrews has nothing to do with Ezekiel's prophecy

Yeah, your comment inserted the term into the text.

 

[Doug]

Hebrews has nothing to do with Ezekiel's prophecy

Hebrews speaks of the new covenant and Ezekiel's temple is present in it

 

[Doug]

Yeah, your comment inserted the term into the text.

never mind

 

[David in NJ]

Hebrews speaks of the new covenant and Ezekiel's temple is present in it

If you do not understand the Gospel and Apostles writings, you will come to some erroneous conclusions from OT prophecy.

 

[shepherdsword]

Hebrews speaks of the new covenant and Ezekiel's temple is present in it

But Hebrews isn't talking about Ezekiel's temple.

 

[ProverbsInPink]

Hebrews speaks of the new covenant and Ezekiel's temple is present in it

This might help your position in affirming that fact.

Why ask this?

The point I am trying to make is that we have all sinned willfully. We have all committed sin with premeditation and intent. The way I see it, it places us in one or two categories.
1) We could be like Esau who sold his birthright for a bowl of porridge.
2) We could be prodigal sons who the Father welcomes back after our wallow in sin.

I pray we are the latter.

You would have to explain why Ezekiel's temple has differences from the Mosaic temple. One example there is no day of atonement in Ezekiels system

 

[Doug]

But Hebrews isn't talking about Ezekiel's temple.

Ezekiels temple will be in the millennial kingdom on earth when the new covenant is fulfilled

Hebrew does speak of the new covenant...........[Heb 8:8 KJV] 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Ok but Hebrews 10:26 is not talking about us it is speaking about Hebrew believers

 

[Ronald Nolette]

Could you please post them = thank you

Well the list is long!

Israel was a theocracy, the church is not.

What have been dubbed teh "moral" and "civil" laws are not part of Christianity. womens periods do not make them unclean. We have no priests with special functions and duties, we do not stone our teens. the church has no death penalty. We have no dietary restrictions. This to name a few.

You cannot get to Home Plate until you Round the Bases.

FIRST = You have to know the Gospel and the apostles writings and Revelation = ALHPA

Second = When the LORD Returns, HE will interpret every passage as HE has pre-determined in His Heart to do so = 1,000 YEARS

Third = God has a Purpose for His Creation and that Purpose is with CHRIST and His Bride = Revelation = OMEGA

 

[shepherdsword]

Ok but Hebrews 10:26 is not talking about us it is speaking about Hebrew believers

There is one body and one gospel. Christ has made the Gentiles and Jews one. They don't have a separate gospel like the dispensationists teach.

Eph 2:14-15 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

Correct = those things you listed are part of the Law with It's Judgments/Penalties for violation(s)

However, the moral code continues in the Body of Christ.

A women's period remain as unclean = the difference is that a women in CHRIST is CLEAN in her spirit/soul for Eternity

Our flesh has not been redeemed AND will not until the LORD Return's when HE brings the Saints for the Resurrection = 1 Thess 4:13-18

The MORAL sexual codes remain intact as does the blood of animals/people, are not to be ingested as the heathen continue in this.

Foods are now "clean" as we give thanks unto God = however, this does not mean that all foods are good/healthy to eat.

Disobedience to God's Sabbath Rest penalty remains intact = just not under the Mosaic Law as CHRIST is both the Fulfillment and the LORD of the Sabbath.
