[Uri’el-2012]

You misread. This is not about “burnt offerings” It’s all about the soul being exalted and giving thanks and praise to the glory of God by sacred reverence and songs of praise. This is the RITUAL we are talking about.

It is a metaphor.

It is a metaphor.

Really? The burnt offerings in the Old Testament were metaphors?

Was the ram that Abraham and Isaac offered as a burnt offering in Genesis 22 (after God allowed Isaac to be spared) a metaphor?

Was Creation a metaphor?

What about the Flood, was that a metaphor?

It's disturbing to watch what happens when people deny the teachings of the Church and opt for their own personal interpretations. EVERYTHING they don't like gets dismissed as either a metaphor or outdated. Modern moral relativism/secular humanism certainly got its start during the Reformation.
