Does the Torah specify what kind of organisms you're supposed to sacrifice? If not, why not sacrifice a few million micro organisms by spilling a bit of antibiotic over a surface :cool:.
Yes, though micro-organisms are not listed as acceptible.

Then teach me! Tell me why they don't sacrifice anymore. I have a open mind and would really love to know. Being that RF is for religious education, right!
The point I made was trying to make is that Jesus was the final sacrifice, the entire reason the OT was inspired.
So Booku why don't they sacrifice any more?

They do not believe that. I thought most people actually knew that the Jews do not think that Jesus Christ was the mosiach. To them, He was not, to Christians we think differently.

evarael listed three sites to go find out...why not start there?

btw, your remark about the Jesus bus doesn't come off like someone with a very open mind. It comes off as more like someone with an agenda, or possibly it might be meant as a joke.

I did read them. Because I really want to know. What about before Mt. Sinai? Thats why I asked about Cain and Abel and Noah. The Bible talks about them sacrificing before the temple was even known.
I don't agree with "AskMoses" about this. The temple is a weak answer to a tough question that's always bounced around in my head when I read the OT. I just never found the right way to ask.
The temple had nothing to do with the act of sacrifice itself. The sacrifice was a result of sin. Something had to die for our sins.

It is not a weak answer, if you want more, ask one of our Jewish friends. The Jews beleive that they now need a temple in order to sacrifice.

Where does the Bible say that? If it could be pointed out, it would put this question to rest. I think the Bible is the infallible word of God, so I'm easy to please. I love scripture. Point me to the spot. Someone said Isaiah but I couldnt find it?

You have made it very clear you are not Jewish, thus I would not expect you to agree with Jewish theology.

It is the answer. 'Weak' is an opinion. If you have another question, feel free to state it.

What is your question or, for that matter, your sources?

Fair enough. This has always been a question that I wanted a answer to. Most the time I spend here I enjoy debating things I know both sides to. Now after all the music, homosexual, is Jesus God, evolution threads, finally a question I have no clue about.

There must be scripture to support this claim. If it can't be found I will continue to use this question to teach Jesus to Jews. Because I have found no answer.

So my question is where does it say in the Bible to stop sacrificing because there is no temple? please

Found it! Question to rest, here ya go...

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
Duet 12:13,14

Does this mean that all of the Jewish people since the destruction of the Temple are unsaved?

wow your mind is baffling, just because we don't carry out a "positive" (do an action) commandment, does not necessarily mean that we are "unsaved" ,our G-d weighs our over all actions and then decides if we attain salvation or not, unlike your poor misconception of the divine ;)

Dont tempt me to A war of the Talmud, your inability to interpret statements will destroy you! :p

Now your being rude because of a valid question I had to find the answer to myself.I never called you unsaved, and no I don't want to go to war so you could destroy me :confused:
All I wanted was a solid answer.

Actually you both are being a bit immature. Abram, he was referring to Sandy Whitelinger, not you if you noticed he quoted her in his post and refereed to Sandy as sophmoric.

A war of words , not one of atomics or strategic bombing, the easy answer is..

NO TEMPLE, NO SACRIFICES

By the way the statement was aimed at sw :areyoucra

The better answer is Duet 12:13,14.

Excuse me? I was pointing out your mistake and how you shouldn't be offended with AlanGurvey. Alan was talking to Sandy not you.
:sorry1: Not you! He was still being rude to Sandy. Thats it, nothing more or less.
The Jews are right, the Bible specificly says only sacrifice in a temple he choose. This thread is going the wrong direction.
Come here Becky and Alan :group:
