Look at it this way. If anything was forgiven before the cross, and the NT states the blood of Christ was required for remission of sins, then they were forgiven on the basis that the cross would occur. Hebrews says remission of sins causes sacrifices to cease to be offered as well as saying making people complete causes cessation. Remission of sins is the question, is it not? Hebrews 10 says where remission of sins is there is no more offering for sin.
