RND said:Could you give a verse or two that states the sacrifice and oblation of Dan. 9:27 is collectively all types of sacrifices? Frankly, it doesn't seem to make much sense. Animal sacrifices are no longer necessary, they ended with the death of Christ. Where does it state that "spiritual" sacrifices must also end?whirlwind said:I see what you are saying, I don't agree but I see. It did occur with the crucifixion but that was just one type of sacrifice...blood sacrifices. Daniel doesn't specify the types of sacrifices but writes...."he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease." That is inclusive of all sacrifices. If it was Christ then the sacrifices He does desire of us wouldn't have been written after His death.
It doesn't. That is my point. What is written is that the sacrifice and oblation will cease. It hasn't for He still requires our sacrifice. Satan wants that sacrifice....he wants us to worship him and many will. When that happens the sacrifice and oblation will cease...to the Savior.
But you did! You stated clearly that Daniel 9:27 is referring to Satan! Are you changing your position?[/quote:2puts5nl][quote:2puts5nl]No I don't attribute it to Satan.
I don't understand what you mean. 9:27 is Satan but he had nothing to do with animal sacrifices. The sacrifices of 9:27 are spiritual.
Exactly! So since Christ came other sacrifices pointing to the coming Messiah are/were unnecessary! Right? So doesn't that indicate those sacrifices and oblations ended when Christ died?[/quote:2puts5nl][quote:2puts5nl] God instructed us on animal sacrifices and Christ fulfilled it. He became the Passover Lamb. The other sacrifices were a shadow leading to it. [/b]
No...as quoted in previous posts the sacrifice now is our love, our worship, our praise. Sacrifice is still ongoing.
