(3) But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:14 KJV For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Must read the entire treatise. Our very consciences are purged by the blood of Jesus, thus making us complete. The animal sacrifices could not perfect/complete the offerer. So, Christ's sacrifice covered the transgressions that were committed under the old covenant which animal sacrifices could not completely deal with. Therefore, no one was truly forgiven until Christ made atonement. |
OK. But making people perfect or complete wasn't the question. It was about forgiveness. It still looks to me like sins were "truly" forgiven via OT offerings (though I'm not sure the difference between "truly forgiven" and just "forgiven").
