Do we need to make Sacrifices and burnt offerings.

By: Z'kharYah Yisra'El

Micah 6

6: Wherewith shall I come before YHWH, and bow myself before the high ELOHIM?
shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

7
: Will YHWH be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8
: He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth YHWH require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy ELOHIM?

Yahweh said that all he REQUIRES of us is:"to do JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with HIM".

THAT'S IT!! NOTHING about accepting Christ as your Saviour!

To be JUST:
1a: having a basis in or conforming to fact or reason : REASONABLE
2a:acting or being in conformity with what is morally upright or good : RIGHTEOUS

To have MERCY:
1a: a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion
2a: compassionate treatment of those in distress

To be HUMBLE:
1a: not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive
2a: reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of submission



NOT "to come before him with burnt offerings". NOT "to give our firstborn for our transgression (like Christians say Yahweh did with his 'so-called firstborn son, Christ. NO WAY!)


Hosea 6

6
: For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings.

MERCY, and NOT sacrifice!!

Yahweh said that he desired KNOWLEDGE of Him more than burnt offerings. Not the knowledge CHRIST, but "The KNOWLEDGE of ELOHIM."
Yahweh have already redeemed his people without a sacrifice, or CHRIST. Yahweh said, just to "return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."


Isaiah 44

21
: Remember these, O Jacob and Yisra’el; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee;
thou art my servant: O Yisra’el, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

22
: I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud,
thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

23
: Sing, O ye heavens; for Yahweh hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth:
break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein:
for Yahweh hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Yisra’el.


Yahweh have ALREADY redeemed his people WITHOUT a sacrifice, or CHRIST. All he said is to "RETURN unto HIM.....NOT go to CHRIST!

REMEMBER, To return, means, to go back to where you were. Where did Yahweh EVER change his mind and tell HIS people to go ANYWHERE else?



Yahweh said, he spoke not unto our fathers, when he brought them out of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.

Jeremiah 7

22
: For I spake NOT unto your fathers, NOR commanded
      them in the day that I brought them out of the land of
      Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

23
: But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my
      voice, and I will be your ELOHIM, and ye shall be my
      people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have
      commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

Yahweh said, that, He didn't even speak to our fathers about burnt offerings or sacrifices. He didn't even bring it up!

Yahweh told our fathers to OBEY HIS voice, NOT to make sacrifices.


Yahweh has a plan for his people


Ezekiel 36

21
: But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house
      of Yisrael had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

22
: Therefore say unto the house of Yisrael, thus saith
      YHWH ELOHIM; I do not this for your sakes, O house of
      Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have
      profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

23
: And I will sanctify my great name, which was
      profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in
      the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that
      I am YHWH, saith YHWH ELOHIM, when I shall be
      sanctified in you before their eyes.

*24
: For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you
        out of ALL countries, and will bring you into YOUR OWN land.

*25
: Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye
         shall be clean: from ALL your filthiness, and from all
         your IDOLS, will I cleanse you.

26
: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit
      will I put within you: and I will take away the stony
      heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27
: And I will put my spirit within you, and CAUSE you
      to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my
      judgments, and DO them.

28
: And ye shall dwell in the LAND that I gave to your fathers;
      and ye shall be my people, and I will be your ELOHIM.


In Ezekiel 36, verses 24 and 25, ABOVE, Yahweh said, that he is going to take us from among the heathen, and gather us out of ALL countries, and will bring us into OUR OWN land. Then will He sprinkle CLEAN water upon us, and we shall be CLEAN: from ALL our FILTHINESS, and from ALL our IDOLS, will he CLEANSE us.

Definition of IDOL Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

1 : a representation or symbol of an object of worship; broadly : a false god
2 a : a likeness of something
2 b : obsolete : PRETENDER, IMPOSTOR
3 : a form or appearance visible but without substance
4 : an object of extreme devotion 
5 : a false conception : FALLACY


You see, in verses 24 & 25 ABOVE, YAH will "baptize" us AFTER we are BACK home, NOT in CAPTIVITY. You see, how can one be clean from ALL his FILTHINESS, and from ALL his IDOLS, when he is STILL IN THE MIDST of it? So, Yahweh would HAVE TO take us OUT of the condition BEFORE he can cleanse us. If he would cleanse us before he take us out, we would just become CONTAMINATED again! It would be like bathing a Pig while he's still lying in the mud. What GOOD would that do?!!


Definition of BAPTIZE Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

2 a : to purify or cleanse spiritually especially by a purging experience or ordeal.



Now, let's continue with Sacrifices and burnt offerings.

Leviticus 1

1
: And Yahweh called unto Moses, and spake unto
    him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

2
: Speak unto the children of Yisrael, and say unto them, IF any
    man of you bring an offering unto Yahweh, ye shall bring your
    offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.

3
: IF his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd,
    let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer
    it of his own VOLUNTARY will at the door of the
    tabernacle of the congregation before Yahweh.

You see in verse 2 ABOVE, Yahweh said: "IF any man of you bring an offering unto Yahweh"

Yahweh said, "IF" meaning he don't have to.

You see in verse 3 ABOVE, Yahweh said: "he shall offer it of his own VOLUNTARY will"


And "VOLUNTARY" again, means, you don't have to.

Definition of VOLUNTARY Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

1 : proceeding from the will or from one's own choice or consent
2 : unconstrained by interference : SELF-DETERMINING
3 : done by design or intention : INTENTIONAL
4 : of, relating to, subject to, or regulated by the will
5 : having power of free choice
6 : provided or supported by voluntary action : a voluntary organization
7 : acting or done of one's own free will without valuable consideration or legal obligation


Notice: Definition #5 ABOVE. "having power of FREE choice!" And #7 ABOVE. "WITHOUT valuable consideration or legal obligation!"


Christ CAN'T be our sacrifice, because Yahweh said " He condemn human sacrifices!!!

Note: In the scriptures BELOW, in the KJV, "pass through the fire," means "to sacrifice."

COMPARE the other translations BELOW.


KJV (King James)

Ezekiel 20

31
: For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your
      sons to PASS THROUGH THE FIRE, ye pollute yourselves
      with all your idols
, even unto this day:
      and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Yisrael?
      As I live, saith Yahweh Elohim, I will not be enquired of by you.


GNB (Good News Bible)

Ezekiel 20

31
: Even today you offer the same gifts and defile yourselves
      with the same idols by SACRIFICING YOUR CHILDREN to them
      in the fire. And then you Yisraelites still come to
      ask what my will is! As surely as I, Yahweh, am the
      living Elohim, I will not let you ask me anything.


CEV (Contemporary English Version)

Ezekiel 20

31
: by worshiping idols and by SACRIFICING THEIR OWN
      CHILDREN
as offerings. They commit these sins and
      still think they can ask me for a message. As surely
      as I am Yahweh Elohim, I will give them no answer.


GW (God's Word) Version

Ezekiel 20

31
: You OFFER YOUR CHILDREN AS SACRIFICES by burning them alive.
      You dishonor yourselves with all your disgusting idols
      to this day. Should you be allowed to ask me for help,
      nation of Yisrael? "'As I live, declares Yahweh,
      you won't be allowed to ask me for help.


Now, do you really think that YAHWEH will sacrifice, or, (let pass through the fire), his so-called ONLY BEGOTTEN SON when YAH called the act "polluting yourselves with all your idols" and "Sin?" That mean that Yahweh would have to do something that he CONDEMNED us for, PlusYahweh would have to have a god HIGHER then HIMSELF to make the sacrifice to. Yahweh said "He KNOW NOT ANY" God higher than HIMSELF.

Isaiah 44

8
: Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told
    thee from that time, and have declared it?
    ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me?
    yea, there is NO God; I KNOW NOT ANY.


Remember, the one who commits the sin is the one who needs the sacrifice. Tell me, what sin did Yahweh commit that he he would need a sacrifice, and to whom would he make the sacrifice?

Who did Yahweh sacrifice Christ to? Who accepted the sacrifice? And, Yahweh said, "There's is NONE that can deliver out of my hand." "Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand".


Deuteronomy 32

39
: See now that I, even I, am he, and there is NO god with me:
      I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is
      there any that can deliver out of my hand.


Isaiah 43

13
: Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is NONE
      that can deliver out of my hand:
I will work,
      and who shall let it?

Now, what does "NONE" mean??! Yes, NOT even CHRIST can deliver you!!!! Remember, OUR deliverance is in the HANDS of Yahweh, ONLY! if Christ delivered anybody it was only himself.

Ezekiel 14

20
: Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live,
      saith the Yahweh, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter;
      they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

Yahweh said, "but deliver their OWN souls by THEIR righteousness." EVEN, IF, Christ was righteous, he deliver but HIS OWN soul by HIS righteousness. Now, was Christ more righteous than Noah, Daniel, or Job that somehow HE can deliver HIS OWN soul, your soul, my soul, and the souls of the WHOLE WORLD by HIS righteousness? I DON'T THINK SO!


Ezekiel 18

20
: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity
      of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:
      the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the
      wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

The soul that sinneth, IT shall die. Now, Ezekiel 18 verse 20 lets you know that NOBODY can die for the sins of another. "the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him".

21
: 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.

22
: All his transgressions that he hath committed,
      they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness
      that he hath done he shall live.

You see, If you turn from your wicked ways you won't need Christ, only if you want to keep doing wickedness is when you need to accept Christ.

Although, he still can't save you!!!


Yah said their is NO ONE that can deliver out of his hand.
(Deuteronomy 32:39) (Isaiah 43:13)


Still reading in Ezekiel 18

23
: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?
      saith Yahweh ELOHIM: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

YOUR CHOICE to turn from your wicked ways and live, nothing about to accepting Christ!!

24
: But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness,
      and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the
      abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live?
      All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned:
      in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin
      that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

Yah said, "
turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned."

NOWHERE Yah said that, if you accept Christ, that, verse 24 don't apply to you!! Don't forget, Yahweh said that, "
NONE can deliver out of his hand."


When Moses tried to make himself a sacrifice for the people, Yahweh said, NO! Why didn't Yahweh say, sorry Moses, I'm saving that for my "only begotten son?"

Exodus 32

31
: And Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, Oh,
      this people have sinned a great sin, and have
      made them gods of gold.

32
: Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--;
      and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy
      book which thou hast written.

33
: And Yahweh said unto Moses, Whosoever hath
     sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Yahweh said, "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." You see, Yahweh did NOT allow Moses to make HIMSELF a Sacrifice for the sins of the people. NO WAY will Yahweh Sacrifice his so-called only begotten son for the sins of the world!!



Yahweh will NEVER kill the righteous for the wicked, or with the wicked! Remember the city of Sodom and Gomorrah? Christianity has it backwards.

Genesis 18

23: And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
 
24: Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
 
25: That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous
       should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
 
26: And Yahweh said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.


You see here, YAH will SPARE the wicked for the sake of the righteous.

Genesis 19

15: And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife,
      and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
 
16: And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters;
      Yahweh being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

24: Then Yahweh rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh out of heaven;

You see, it got all the why down to Lot, his wife, and his two daughters. ALL that was left was the WICKED before YAH destroyed the city.


Now, back to
sacrifices or burnt offerings

Yahweh do NOT accept sacrifices or burnt offerings from us HERE, in USA, (United Snakes Of AmeriKKKa) anyway, *** but, in JERUSALEM!!!


Psalms 51
 

16
: For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 

Note: David said, "thou desirest NOT sacrifice; HE would had given it!"

17
: The sacrifices of ELOHIM are a broken spirit: a broken and a CONTRITE heart, O ELOHIM, thou wilt not despise.

Definition of CONTRITE Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

1: feeling or showing SORROW and REMORSE for a sin or shortcoming.



You see, if one TRULY feels SORROW and REMORSE for a sin, or shortcoming, Yahweh said, he will accept a CONTRITE heart as his SACRIFICE and NOT despise. THAT IS OUR SACRIFICE!!!!!

18
: Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

19
: THEN shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
      righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt
      offering: THEN shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

BUILD THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM!!! ....THEN, Yahweh will be pleased with our offers.

Are we in JERUSALEM? NO!!

Is the TEMPLE rebuilt? NO!

Do we have any "ORIGINAL" LEVI priest, that we know of, from the TRIBE of LEVI? NO!

Do we have an ALTAR? NO!

Can we make sacrifices here in AmeriKKKa? NO! NO! NO! NO!


The MAIN question Christians like to ask, when we tell them that we accept ONLY the Holy Scriptures (the so-called old testament) as the ONLY WORD of Yahweh, is: "WHERE IS YOUR SACRIFICE?" We tell them, that, Yahweh said, in Hosea 6:6, for he desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the KNOWLEDGE of him MORE THAN  burnt offerings. We also, tell them, that, Yahweh said, in Micah 6:8, that all he REQUIRES of us is: "to do JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with HIM". According to Psalms 51:17, "our CONTRITE heart" IS OUR sacrifice!!! And,
According to Psalms 51:18 & 19 when we are back in our OWN land, and the walls of Jerusalem are rebuilt, THEN shall we offer bullocks upon thine altar.


HalleluYAH ( Praise the mighty YAH)

YAH is Righteous!

Shalom.
