Have you seen this meme making the rounds? Someone sent it \u00a0to me and asked how I would answer it. Like most of the lies from the evil one, these arguments seem convincing on the surface, but in reality they are easy to answer. For those who know the Scriptures, it can be done blindfolded with both\u00a0tied behind the back, while hanging upside-down and eating an ice cream cone!<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Liars and deceivers often will take one scripture verse out of context and try to make a doctrine out of it, while ignoring many other verses on the same subject. Those who are novices in understanding the Scriptures will often fall for this ploy. Don’t be a novice, but study the Word of Elohim daily, and sit under Bible teachers who aren’t themselves novices! To understand what the Bible is really saying, you have to read all the verses on a subject. In this case, the author ignores all the verses that speak of a ram or a bull being offered up as an atonement for sin, which prophetically points to\u00a0the salvific death of Yeshua (e.g., Gen 15:19; 22:13; Exod 29:15\u201331; 29:36; Lev 4:3\u201321; 5:16, 18; Lev 16:11 and \u00a0about 50 other verses as well that I could give!)<\/li>\n
  2. This argument so ridiculous that it defies common logic. The Torah stipulates that a sin offering had to be free of injury or blemish BEFORE being sacrificed, not while\u00a0being sacrificed. How do you sacrifice something without injuring it? Give me a break!<\/li>\n
  3. Same answer as #2.<\/li>\n
  4. Yes, Yeshua was killed outside the city walls of Jerusalem, yet his blood was sprinkled or spilled inside of Jerusalem near the temple when the Romans scourged him and placed the crown of thorns on his head. Not only that, the writer of Hebrews likens Yeshua’s death to the that of the red heifer which was killed OUTSIDE the Tabernacle of Moses and later outside of Jerusalem. As I have stated\u00a0numerous times before in my studies on the tabernacle, the red heifer speaks of Yeshua’s initial death for sinners on cross, while the sacrifices that occurred inside the tabernacle speak of our need, once initially redeemed, of having to stay under the blood of Yeshua by continually repenting of\u00a0the sins we commit\u00a0subsequent to our initial salvation.<\/li>\n
  5. Again, the idiocy and deception of the arguments of those\u00a0who speak against the death of Yeshua! Yeshua’s death wasn’t human sacrifice! He gave his life up willingly by his choice as a ransom or atonement for sin. The Romans weren’t looking at his death as a human sacrifice, but as capital punishment. That’s like saying that every time the government kills a criminal it is human sacrifice, or that when the Torah stipulates capital punishment for certain crimes, it’s human sacrifice. The Bible condemns human sacrifice, since it involves doing so in the worship of pagan deities. Furthermore, to call Yeshua’s death human sacrifice is to accuse Yeshua’s Father\u2014YHVH Elohim\u2014of murder and human sacrifice. This is blasphemy! May it never be so!!<\/li>\n
  6. Yes, no man can die for another man\u2014only for himself because a life is only worth a life. But Yeshua was no ordinary man. The Scriptures reveal that he was the Creator\u2014the one who created all men, and that he was Elohim\/God in the flesh. This means that his life was worth more than all that of all humans \u00a0combined, which is why he could die for everyone. This cannot be said of any ordinary human.<\/li>\n
  7. Yes, everyone is accountable for his own sins, but Yeshua was different than any ordinary man. First, he never sinned, so he never came under the death penalty for sin like all normal men have. Second, he willingly chose to lay down his life for sinners (that you and me) as a sin offering in our place to pay for the death penalty we all have incurred for our sins. Because he was sinless, and because, was the Creator, and because his life was worth more than all the humans he had created, he was in a position, by his choice, to pay the price (the death penalty) for all of men’s sins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It took me about 15 minutes to answer these questions! That’s how easy they are to debunk.<\/p>\n

    Don’t fall for the lies of the evil one, and don’t let them shake your faith!<\/p>\n
