Why don't Christians give burnt offerings?

we dont give Jesus as a burnt offering... God does.
We benefit from the value of that sacrifice for God affords forgiveness of sins by means of it.
But we are told to offer sacrifices to God...
Hebrews 13:15*Through him let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to his name. 16*Moreover, do not forget the doing of good and the sharing of things with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased
These are the sacrifices that Christians are to offer God.

it is specified in the Hebrew scriptures as part of the mosaic law given to Isreal. But Christians are not required to offer such sacrifices because Jesus sacrifice ended the need for animal sacrifices.
Hebrews 9:11*However, when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come to pass, through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 12*he entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance [for us].

I highly doubt Zechariah and all his readers would have been given something purely metaphorical beyond their understanding of the concepts given. One can read anything they want into something, that does not make the plain reading wrong. I fail to see how the Eucharist is a "Sacrifice" in the first place.
So I guess it also says that everyone will cook their own Eucharist in their own pots and pans as well? What does it mean tha there will no longer be a Canaanite in the Temple? Well I guess that kind of does go with Jesus calling the Canaanite woman a dog now doesn't it. Let me guess, "Canaanite" is a metaphor for non-Christians?
What is the metaphor for the gentiles having to go up to obey Succoth or being wrought with plagues and drought?

You're a Messianic Jew, right? So why are you in the Christian DIR trying to argue with people?

Because the Christian DIR is a Green DIR, and I'm not arguing. I'm discussing and asking questions. If anything, when you said "Wrong", you were arguing.
Also, Messianic Jews are "Christians". They were the original people to be called "Christians", says Acts.

No, you are arguing. You want to have a back and forth over this, when you know we're not going to agree.
Then maybe you should alert a mod that the Messianic Judaism DIR should be included in the Christian subforum.

When I said "Zechariah 14 says otherwise", that's a discussion. You said I was wrong, and then started the back and forth giving your point of view. You argued with me. I followed up with respectful questions. I merely made a statement.
I have said that it should be part of the subforum before but they believe it's best to give it its own.
