HELEN
But if the OT offered forgiveness from God if the sinner merely repented to
God, then what did Jesus die for? There is neither sacrifice or Jesus in
Jonah but God forgives the people of Nineveh for their sins. Read the Book
in
most Bibles it is only four pages long. if you go to your minister he will
give you the explanation that the church has given for 1900 years ( the Jews
were apparently raising this point in the second century), but read it first
so you see what a load of poppycock this explanation really when he gives it
to you. On the issue of sacrifice see also Hosea 6:6, Proverb 21:3, Jeremiah
chapters 10-20 and a Jewish translation of Hosea 14:3.

POOBAH
Don't forget Ez18:21-23:
"But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and
keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely
live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they
shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he
shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith
Jehovah: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?"

Jehovah seems to be making it pretty clear that one eentsie weentsie sin
won't damn you for all eternity; just stop doing what's wrong and start
following his laws. In light of these verses, I can't quite figure out why
the divine sacrificial lamb was necessary, except for the fact that
Christians love their Easter ham and want to wear cotton-polyester blends.
