Our schoolmaster shows us how God sees sin. There was a sacrifice for unintentional sin, but no sacrifice for sins committed presumptuously or willfully. They were killed, and in our case, cast into the lake of fire.
22 ‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses— 23 all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations— 24 then it will be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering. 25 So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintended sin. 26 It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people
did it unintentionally.

@Truther, listen to someone who actually knows the Word of God. The doctrine from the Reformation that you two are listening to will make you dead.
I'm sorry but I too know the word by the Holy Ghost teaching me thru prayer & study.
I live under GRACE not under the Mosiac law by which God tried to teach the Hebrews how he wanted then to live.They failed and any that do so today will fail !
Paul was a great man who studied the law yet he instructed the Gentiles and Jews NOT to be in bondage to it. If it is failed once then a person is guilty of all 619 commands.
I am also filled with the Holy Ghost as in the upper room at Pentecost.
The power to hold fast to my faith in Christ and the Spirit teaching me how to walk is my stronghold in God.
His word must be rightly divided in the context of what is being said. The whole word of God is for our instruction and edification. It cannot be here a verse there a verse to make a point, for then it is moot.
I do not believe that my future sins are forgiven,what a silly notion ! It is the ones I commit, a bad word, an unkind thought, an ignoring of need, ect. We are still in control of this flesh with the ability to commit sin.
If I do so,after the Spirit convicts me, I simply tell God Im sorry, I was mean spirited and he forgives me.
God doesnt force us to behave, or he surely would have Israel and the whole world.
There is a battle proceeding, has been ever since satan was cast out of heaven, it hasnt ended. The battle is not for possessions of the universe but it is of the souls that will WORSHIP !
We are sought after daily ,hourly, by minutes to destroy our faith and take away our worship of God.
That is the bottom line. To those that John saw in Revelations, what were they doing ?
WORSHIPPING GOD !
It is not by the 1st century teachings alone for God inspired more than. If you stop at the gospels then you are not following grace. If you hold to only Pauls teachings again you are not following grace.
We have to be complete in our study of the Word following the precepts that we are to adhere unto. I do not follow mans teachings ,once, yes but no more. I have gotten alone with God, away from the influence of man for many years now. It is by the Spirit under grace and by faith that I live for
him !
