12. The Atonement
A look at the Scriptural teaching of our atonement through the blood of Christ. The sad part isn't that Christ only died "for the elect," as some believe, but that he actually died and his blood pays for all sins! Thus, the sad truth is that unbelievers go to hell even though their sins are paid for--condemned because they did not make this sacrifice of our Lord as their own payment for their sins!

Hatchet
There are some things that virtually everyone knows. On occasion, there is a strong possibility that everyone is wrong. This article is about an incident that took place in 1867. The story has been told over and over but some of the "facts" are just plain erroneous. It is true that the Reverend Thomas Baker did encounter opposition to his evangelical efforts; all the rest is hearsay.

III-1 Vayikra Coming Close
Vayikra, referred as the Torat Kohanim, is concerned with the pratical application in temple worship and ritual. After the destruction of the Temple in 70CE, prayer and synagogue worship came to replace the temple ritual and sacrifices. Instead of sacrifices, we pray for forgiveness. We are not excused from the mitzvot of reparation for the losses we cause others. Anyone could bring sacrifices to the Temple. God is accessible to everyone. "Korbanot" means to bring close. Sacrifice drew people to God, reconciling the disparity of the physical and spiritual worlds and allowing an introspective encounter with the Creator of the Universe. Unlike heathen offerings, the sacrificial animal was not consumed by fire to be a heavenly banquet. A small portion of the fat was sacrificed, parts given for the priests and the remainder eaten by the person bringing it. Sacrifice involved community participation as well as personal reconciliation with fellow man.

III-2 Tzav Keep the Fire going
In Vayikra, Moses addresses the general public regarding sacrifices: what and how sacrifices should be made, but in Tzav, the audience is restricted to the priests, regarding the particularities of sacrifice. Moreover, the instruction of sacrifice seems countered by the prophets whon rail against empty ritual. Tzav frequently falls on Shabbat HaGadol, the last shabbat before Pesach when the haftorah is read from Malachi regarding God's enduring love for Israel and the warning of final judgment and messianic age heralded by the return of Elijah. Tzav reiterates the importance of maintaining the perpetual fire on the altar which is interpreted as man's need of sustaining a passion for God's commandments and maintaining faith in God. Instructions on clearing the ashes from the altar and the institution of Aaron and his sons for the priesthood fall within the parasha.
