I'll be honest. I just skimmed all the "sacrifice an animal very specifically" stuff in Leviticus. I can't keep all these offerings straight. Does any modern-day religion still follow these? Just curious.
I still think Jesus is totally BA. :)
Although I do have to say I feel kind of sorry for the Pharisees. When Jesus came, he really WAS kind of doing the opposite of some of that stuff in the Old Testament. It's pretty obvious to me when we read the Jesus passages with the Old Testament passages in the same day. Like, earlier in one of the weeks, Moses was pretty strict about "don't do anything on the Sabbath or you'll be doomed forever and ever" (I'm paraphrasing). And Jesus comes and he's all like, "You morons! Help people! Eat if you're hungry! Duuuuh!" (Also paraphrasing here.) I really can't blame the Pharisees for being all offended and hard-hearted. It's pretty radical, even though Jesus clearly was holy. It's hard for people to change their beliefs on a dime in a big leap of faith.
Of course, none of that excuses them from trying to destroy Jesus.
Loved this part of Psalms: 5 God’s love is meteoric,
his loyalty astronomic,6 His purpose titanic,
his verdicts oceanic"
