“And they will be forgiven this bloodshed.”
-Deuteronomy 21:8
Alrighty, rant time.
Some people just aren’t getting it.
In the Torah, after God establishes the atoning ritual procedures and declares…
…“and they will be forgiven”.
Do you know what that means?
Think about it for a second.
That’s right.
It actually means “they will be forgiven”.
Period.
I ain’t talking about some half rear-ended kind of forgiveness.
Or “maybe if I feel like it” I’ll forgive you kind of forgiveness.
I’m talking about real, complete, and full forgiveness!
I’m so sick and tired of hearing the gentile church promote the idea that in the “Old” Testament, the people had their sins “covered” but they weren’t really forgiven.
That is just BOOOOOOOOOOOOOL SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET multiplied by 10 billion.
That teaching is 20 tons of cow dung piled up on top of each other.
This idea being promoted by Bible teachers and preachers that “real forgiveness” only happened in the NT is absolutely FALSE.
Here’s a news flash for you.
The idea that a sin is just “covered” but not “forgiven”…
…does NOT exist in either the “Old” or New Testaments.
All of this semantic juggling of comparing “covered sins” versus sins that are “absolved” or “forgiven” is nothing but misleading verbal sorcery.
The truth is if a sin is covered, it is also forgiven.
There ain’t no difference in meaning between the two.
Heck, it’s the exact same Hebrew word being used in all of these cases which is KIPPER or KAPHAR.
What does it matter which word you use whether it is “covered”, “absolved” or “forgiven” or whatever other word you may use if the Hebrew from which these words are being translated is exactly the same?
The meaning of the words carries the same weight and has the same effect.
So let’s get this straight for all time and forever.
The OT Hebrews (as they are referred to by the church) who obeyed God’s ordained Levitical sacrificial system were FORGIVEN for their transgressions.
Fully and unequivocally.
No questions asked.
If you wanna use the word “covered” or any other word with the same meaning, go ahead.
It doesn’t change anything and there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with doing that.
The only thing I have a problem with is to use ridiculous semantic juggling to suddenly change the meaning of how sins were forgiven in the Tanach (“Old” Testament) versus how they were forgiven in the Brit Hadashah…
…by injecting some kind of false distinction between the meaning of “covered” versus “absolve”, “expiate” or “forgiven”.
It’s so plainly obvious that such a switch is being done simply to promote an anti-semitic agenda driven by doctrines of men rather than Torah itself.
And I reiterate what I said before, ONLY the Torah is the real God-breathed Words of HASHEM.
The New Testament is nothing more nor less than an “oral commentary” on what came before.
If what is said in the New Testament doesn’t line up with what’s in Torah, that book has got to go in the trash.
I’m done.
