God is not interested in sacrifices for sin but in a pure heart.
Psalm 51:16-17 16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Micah 6:6-8 6 "With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
8He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
The parallel between the Pharisees and their legalism and ANY established religion with a hierarchy and rules and regs is not hard to see.
>>I’ve seen quite a bit of legalism out of Fundamentalists. You just don’t understand. You can quote scripture all you like, but you still keep demonstrating your lack of understanding.
>>Matthew 18:17 Hebrews 6:7 Hebrews 6:17
