Let us not forget that in the Old Testament, and always, God demands a balanced scale. He accepted the sin offering (Atonement) as a means of forgiving the sin of man. While He did not lay it to their charge, the Atonement did not totally appease God's sense of justice. That would take place at Calvary.
Therefore, those sins committed prior to Calvary could be forgiven, but the scales of justice not be balanced. Hebrews plainly states "That they without us would not be made perfect." Something to that verse, I believe.
If forgiveness and remission occured in the Old Testament then someone please tell me WHY Jesus had to die?
