In this episode of the Zootown Podcast, we're continuing the teaching series The Forgotten Gospel with part 3: Sacrifice.
This week will break down what the Old Testament sacrifice system was for and who implemented it God or Man? Through the lens of Jesus, we see that sacrifice was a bad thing created by humans to relieve themselves of their bloodlust and scapegoating. We know this because every culture then and some even now have a form of the sacrificial system. Today that system has been turned into blaming others and scapegoating them for our own problems. For a time sacrifice was allowed by God to be performed on animals since that was better than humans but it was never his original design since blood cannot take away sin only a changed heart. He has always been a forgiving God and no transaction was necessary for him to forgive.

Abraham is the greatest example of God not wanting a sacrifice since just when Abraham was about to offer his child up to God the Angel stopped him and pointed him to the goat in the bush. The point was God never needed a sacrifice to forgive us, we needed the sacrifice in order to cure us of our violence and bloodlust.
