Actually, you added the "all time" part to the scripture. Isn't it funny how our interpretations can impose themselves onto scripture until we begin to think they are scripture. Even though they aren't.

Sorry, that is precisely what Hebrews tells us.

8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience-- 10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Heb. 9)

23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another-- 26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. (Heb. 9)

11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. (Heb. 10)

Forever means for all time. These things, blood sacrifices, etc., were only “until the time of reformation”, that is, until the time of Christ own service as the Great High Priest and Lamb of God.

It is an abomination before God to suggest that sin offerings in blood will be made again ever again.

All the NT testifies of the end of the old covenant system with the coming of Christ. The only why one can come up with future blood offerings for sin is by ripping isolated OT passages out of the Bible and reading them apart from the largely Scripture context.

As you say about Chuck Smith, I guess this now puts you in that same class of "false prophet"....ehh?...someone who gets carried away with his interpretation.

Nice try, but Smith is in a class by himself.

Hebrews....nice try

Oh come on, TC, you and I both know that the reference was to the Daniel 9 passage. That's the only passage that puts together the destruction of the Temple and the end of the sacrifice.

If someone can't be honest with simple things, how can I trust them when they get into complex things?

I sure he would say he is just another humble servant of God.
