    What about the book of Enoch?

    Does it belong in the Bible?

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    So, when the Old Testament says that animal sacrifices atone for sin, you don’t believe that. You basically don’t believe the Old Testament.

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    I don’t see how you’ve answered what I’m asking. I’m asking about 2 Maccabees 12. This was BEFORE Jesus. They can’t reject Jesus when he hasn’t been born yet! They sacrificed animals to atone for the sins of the soldiers who had died 7 days prior. So that sacrifice in THEIR present could...

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    I’m talking about BEFORE Jesus came though. You’re still not answering the question. If Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross atoned for the sins of those who died in the past, then why wouldn’t an animal sacrifice in Old Testament times not also have the ability to atone for someone who had died in...

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    Ok, I get all that. But you didn’t answer my question. If someone was living in Old Testament times, before Jesus came, when animal sacrifices were still being offered, could the Levite priests sacrifice an animal for a person who had already died a certain number of days earlier, before the...

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    In the New Testament we have Jesus’ sacrifice. In the Old Testament, they had animal sacrifices. They weren’t slapping Jesus in the face by offering animals, since He hadn’t come yet. If Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross has the ability to atone for the sins of people who died in the past, then why...

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    Didn’t the Jews of the Old Testament have animal sacrifices? Couldn’t that atone for someone’s sins before Jesus came? If so, could an animal sacrifice in their present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Oh, ok. So you’re saying that you have to be a high priest in the lineage of Aaron in order to present a burnt offering. Hmm....where does the Bible say that you have to be high priest? Doesn’t 2 Samuel 24 say that David offered a burnt offering on the threshing floor of Araunah? Was David...

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Which part is witchcraft? Anointing the gall on his father’s eyes, or burning the heart and liver to drive away the demon? Or are both of them witchcraft? Please specify.

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    So, a sacrifice in the present CAN atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Ok.... Leviticus says to burn the inner organs of a sheep (a clean animal). And that’s good. Tobit says to burn the inner organs of a fish (also clean animal, since Tobias ate it). And that’s....bad? I’m sorry, I’m not seeing how this is contradictory. Can you please reference the exact...

    Can an animal sacrifice in the present atone for the sins of someone who died in the past?

    I’m not talking about today, of course. But in Old Testament times.

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Can you show me where the Bible says that it’s sinful to burn fish guts? Or can you show that burning fish guts is witchcraft? Do you know any witches specifically who said that they burn fish guts? Where’s the connection? How do you prove Tobias was sinning? How do you prove Tobias was...

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    I never mentioned the Leviathan. What about the issues in regards to Tobit? What’s so bad about this book that it’s disqualified from being scripture?

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Huh? Tobit never mentions Leviathan. Can we get back to my question about Tobit?

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    What are you talking about? My original question was about what is wrong with the Book of Tobit that would disqualify it from being included in the Bible. I never asked about the Leviathan. I’m totally confused what you’re talking about.

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    Well, Tobit says that almsgiving purges sin. Charity is almsgiving. But the New Testament would never say that, right?

    Why doesn’t the book of Tobit meet the criteria for being included in the Bible?

    The fish was clean. Tobias ate it. Tobit kept God’s laws while the rest of Israel was abandoning them. He would have trained his son the same.
