And in saying that there is no more sacrifice for sins, that means that an attempted “sin atoning sacrifice”,which never existed, will also not exist in the future .

Regarding the matter of blood atonement for sin, how do you understand the passage from Exodus I quoted:

And you shall offer a bull every day as a sin offering for atonement. You shall cleanse the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to sanctify it. (Exo. 29:36)

What would the bull being made “a sin offering for atonement” mean to a Jewish believer living in the days of Moses?

What it meant to a Jewish believer has nothing to do with what an animal sacrifice actually accomplished in regards to atoning for sin.

You are, by the way, discussing the Old Testament law.

Are you saying they were deceived, or just incompetent when it came to the words spoken to them by God? Or are you saying that then God said “a sin offering for atonement” He meant something different, we are not to take it in a honest and normal fashion?

Fascinating discussion. What WOULD a Jewish believer of the day (an OT righteous, saved in fact by grace through faith) have said if you asked him why he was performing or participating in animal sacrifices? Would he have said "I do this because God commanded it, though I know it does not really atone for my sins. It points toward a future and perfect sacrifice that will TRULY atone for my sins of today."?

Also, would a non-dispensational answer likely or necessarily disagree with a dispensational one?
