So I have a few questions on some things today. I am confused.
1) Where did all those Burnt-Offering, Lamb-Offering, Whatever-Offerings go? Like, what was the process. Say, like, I slaughter a lamb. Ok, then what? Does the lamb just sit on the altar? Forever? And what if I'm sacrificing a lot of stuff? Where does that go? Or bread? If I give a bread offering, what does that mean? I just leave it on the altar and birds come eat it? Where does it go? I get the point of leaving some for God to give thanks, I'm just totally confused about the logistics.
2) Re: the crucifixion. So here's my question. Clearly it's a horrible, horrible treatment of a person and a terrible way for anyone to die, let alone the Son of God. Did all criminals at that time get this treatment or was Jesus' unusual somehow? I know they crucified people back then, were they all whipped and paraded out to be beaten ahead of time?
