@t/s, please excuse my bro. "i'm goin", he knows not what he speaks of, when it comes to the Word of GOD, he is best fit to defend religion know as christianity, but not the Word.... that's the reason he can't answer your question directly, he has a lack of understanding BUT just to answer your question
sacrifices never appeased GOD, obedience does.... BUT the consquences for sin is death & sin is the transgressing of the LORDs law...(most christians couldn't even tell you what sin is), So instead of killing off the Israelites for their sins, he allowed them to scarifice animals to forgive their sins, not to remove sin (since the blood of bulls & goat cannot remove sins), when he allowed them to do so he had stipulations on what type of animal should be scarificed & what group of people could offer the scarifice (which were the high priest, Levities) to him.
Now when these scarifices were going on the blood of the animals were only a temporary solution to forgive sins, so even though one may live according to the law & commandments one could still end up in the Lake of fire (which is the 2nd death that's spoken of in revelations) again since the blood of animals couldn't remove sin. BUT the LORD came up w/the permanent solution to avoid the 2nd death with his scarifice (the creator was the only person that could come in the flesh & die for the sins of the world, since he is sinless) & after his death the law of animal scarifices along w/the leviticual priesthood was done away with (that's why it states the veil was rent/torn at his death), the veil is what they sprinkled the blood on, since the law of animal sacrifice was over with the veil was no longer needed...
Now anyone who repents & starts living according to the Word (following in HIS laws,commandments & statues) & gets baptized will come under the blood of Jesus & ALL of your prior sins are forgiven not future sins...that's why obedience is the key to salvation.... because once your baptized under his blood that's it, there's no more scarifices for your sins.
people may sin in ignorance but that's not the sins you will be puinshed for, we will be punished for WILLFULLY sinning AFTER we've found out what sins are according to the LORD,(no what we want sin to be)... He laid everything out in his Word for us to live by & according to, but "scc" do away with his laws & commandments ALL the time & feel their the ones that will be blessed or "saved" by the Most High (they have another thing coming, it won't be nice)
that was just a quick answer, I could provide scriptures for you as well, so you can read for yourself..
Peace!
Hebrews 10 kjv (v1 referring to the law of animal scarifice)
1For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
3But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins
Revelation 21:5-8 kjv
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
John 3:15-17 (King James Version)
15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Matthew 19:16-18 (King James Version) v17-eternal life
16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
