Forgiveness was abundant in the OT and available but NO remission the example that mirrors what would be fulfilled in the NT was
Lev. 16 the atonement so in TYPE sins were placed on the head of the live goat and sent away BUT the act had to be repeated again each year. Sins were NEVER taken away that is a NT benefit.
