Leviticus 4-7
Mar. 12th, 2010 09:32 pmSome of the animal sacrifices have a greater purpose than being demanded by God, if you sacrifice a particular animal (according to your status) then you will be forgiven your sins. That's right, innocent animals are killed for minor sins committed by humans. And only the priests get to eat certain parts, the same priests who are related to Moses, still the only person to talk to God and come up with rules about how to make dinner for a priest properly sacrifice these animals.

keep em coming.

Thanks for reading!
