They were killed to purify the priests and for atonement of sins of the people. Various animals were killed including birds, depending on what one could afford. See surada's link three posts back.what about "sacrifices" at the time you call "biblical" ?
wrong-----animals were killed to feed the LANDLESS Levites. LOL @ surada's linkThey were killed to purify the priests and for atonement of sins of the people. Various animals were killed including birds, depending on what one could afford. See surada's link three posts back.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” (John 1:1–3).Christianity as a religion didn't exist until after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Except there were multiple Jesus sightings in the Old Testament.
Figure that one out.
Socrates, who lived thousands of years before Christ, once said that if a righteous man who spoke the truth walked the earth, the masses would murder him.
So yea, they murdered Socrates as well for speaking what he believed the truth. All he had to do was recant and they would have spared him, but he died for what he believed to be the truth.
Truth has a way of pissing people off.
Funny that.
Or — and stay with me here for a moment — maybe time is really just a construct in which nothing ever comes “before” anything else.
Sheol is mentioned many times.Jewish scriptures says WHAT?
the actual existence of a deep dark "underworld" for dead souls is ill-defined inSheol is mentioned many times.
Are you denying that? Do you believe Sheol exists or not? If so what is it like?
the actual existence of a deep dark "underworld" for dead souls is ill-defined in
jewish writings and scholarship
nope----I get to read about that which scholars conjectures----it is clear thatSo you claim it is “ill-defined”, then you get to make up whatever version of it you want?
I never heard of Sheol either. Certainly was never mentioned throughout years of Sunday School, and i never once heard my rabbi mention it in a sermon.Sheol is mentioned many times.

Sheol is simply the grave, called "hell" in English translations of the OT. "Gehenna" in the Greek. The term also suggests eternal death (not eternal life in torment), the punishment for unrepentant sinners.I never heard of Sheol either. Certainly was never mentioned throughout years of Sunday School, and i never once heard my rabbi mention it in a sermon.
That too.wrong-----animals were killed to feed the LANDLESS Levites.
And you call yourself a Jew?I never heard of Sheol either. Certainly was never mentioned throughout years of Sunday School, and i never once heard my rabbi mention it in a sermon.
Christianity was born of out Judaism which was thousands of years older. In fact, Jesus was. a Rabbi so I'm not sure what this question is about.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Max Tegmark, told space.com: "We can portray our reality as either a three-dimensional place where stuff happens over time, or as a four-dimensional place where nothing happens [‘block universe’] — and if it really is the second picture, then change really is an illusion, because there's nothing that's changing; it's all just there — past, present, future.
“We have the illusion, at any given moment, that the past already happened and the future doesn't yet exist, and that things are changing.
“But all I'm ever aware of is my brain state right now. The only reason I feel like I have a past is that my brain contains memories.”
“But all I'm ever aware of is my brain state right now. The only reason I feel like I have a past is that my brain contains memories.”
Memories are not physiological? since when?memories - thoughts of the past are no different than projections of the future ... and is not physiological.
That's because you, like most Christians as well, have been spoon fed what your Rabbi's want you to believe, and nothing else. Get your nose into your Bible and read it for yourself.I never heard of Sheol either. Certainly was never mentioned throughout years of Sunday School, and i never once heard my rabbi mention it in a sermon.
