I don’t think you are a messenger for God.
I think you are a messenger from this blog you keep pimping:

Yep.
The ceremony, that included that slaughtering of a lamb
Being a little judgmental aren't we?
Yes, and not the least apologetic for it.
My emotional reaction is the same as yours but God may not see it the same way we do.
"And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness."Hebrews 9:22
What a horror. It’s like the veneer of civilization is an illusion. It may well be.
Why wasn’t it a turning point during the last fourteen years when this reenactment took place?
The sacrifice of Christ - the Lamb of God - was the ultimate payment for the sins of the world. In the wake of Christ’s atoning sacrifice, all these animal sacrifices are obsolete
Sin is a terrible horror.
It’s like the veneer of civilization is an illusion.
Of course it is.
Only if you believe God's unilateral covenant with Israel was ended.
Americans kill 600,000 babies a year and you are upset about killing a lamb. Priorities.
How many did YOU kill?
Do you experience remorse for the acts of others?
If I rob a bank, will you do the time for me? No?
I believe the Bible. In the epistle to the Hebrews, Paul says, “we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Once and for all. Ie, after Christs sacrifice, animal sacrifices are a waste of time
Why not just post a link to the Jerusalem Post, which is where I expect you got your info?

Yes it is.

IMHO, this is the last 1,260 days of the 70th week of Daniel., the Great Tribulation.
Before that, the “peace covenant” confirmed for 7 years (including what will be that last 1,260 days).
barbarity?
well, McDonalds alone serves up millions of tons of animal flesh every day (I wouldn’t care to speculate just which animals give their all for mcD’s...)
so ... with all due respect for religious and non-religious vegetarian people.....I fully respect that....
there’s nothing barbaric about the Jewish sacrifice of a couple animals at the altar.
FIRST.... the method of killing is very precise and the most human possible, far far far far less pain to the animal than typical for McD or grocery or most regular buthcher store meats.
SECOND, other than some fats (for the “smoke effect”), almost all the meat goes directly for human nutrition.....in other words, the meat is NOT “wasted for the sake of the religious faith ritual”.....Today, as in Biblical times, a portion of the meat is offered to the priests (part of their pay) and the balance of the meat is offered to anybody who may need some food and is consumed by the offering party and his family for dinner or whatever. Not wasted, the animal goes for human nutrition just like any other (non-Jewish and non-vegetarian) people eat it.
