Timeline for Leviticus says animal sacrifice will cleanse you from your sins. Hebrews says it's impossible. What does "clean" mean?

No, I meant, G'd expects us to work hard at cooperating with other humans to achieve salvation collectively. One must be able to see the treasure in the field and then buy that field so that you may possess that treasure. If you really need help to see the treasure, that is a problem for your salvation. Then you are saying that G'd prefers an intellectually unthinking drone as His eternal companion. | |

Yes, you make hints at the irrelevance of the question, but you still quite comprehensively avoid its wording in doing so. This will remain a poor answer until it makes some form of reference to the question it's dealing with, at least to use the question's language to question its underlying assumptions and give a structured response. As it is, it just reads like a tangent. | |

| May 6, 2016 at 12:28 | comment | added | Cynthia | The purpose is to point out the irrelevance of the question. To answer the question is to accept that the original language of Leviticus is English or Greek. To delve on this subject by explaining the meaning of the English words is unbiblical. Sorry, to delve on this question based on the English word is biblical so long as the original language of your bible is English. | |
| May 5, 2016 at 15:15 | comment | added | Steve can help♦ | For the record, it wasn't my downvote. Personally, I find this answer difficult to apply to the OP's question because it doesn't make any obvious reference to Lev 16:30's "clean" which is the core of the question, nor to Hebrews 10:4, which is the other half of his question. Even the conclusion makes practically zero reference to the OP's question, which academically makes it a poor answer in its current form. | |
