Animal Sacrifice
God hated animal sacrifices, burnt offerings was never commanded by God and would not accept them. It is impossible that the execution of Jesus could be compared to the sacrifice of animals or take the place of this bloody ritual that God hated nor could it even take away sins — only obedience to the will of God and doing his commands could ever give man peace with God. Nothing can ever “take away” sins, but repentance and making amends for sin is the only way to receive remission and forgiveness of sin
Jeremiah who makes abundantly clear that the shedding of blood of animals can never take away sins. The writer of Hebrews says: “is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins… which can never take away sins”.
The Way to be Right with God
If the blood of innocent animals can never take away sins, then how can the blood of one innocent man (Jesus) take away the sins of the world of all time? But this is what REALLY makes one right with God:

The Rapture that Didn’t Happen
Rapture is actually a word that has been recycled, so-to-speak, to refer to an event described in the Bible in which Christian believers are alive together with those believers who have died before and have resurrected, are caught up together to meet Christ in the air and be with him forever more in heaven. This is mainly an event described by Paul in his gospel. The rapture is also alluded to by Jesus in the four Gospels that was supposed to have happened “immediately after the tribulation” which happens at the time of Jesus’ second coming.
However:
- Jesus disappeared from the scene before the temple was destroyed,
- Jesus did not return in the clouds;
- Jesus, as the Messiah, did not rebuild the temple,
- and the rapture didn’t happen

If there is no Hell
I don’t believe that Hell exists. But IF it did exist, I know there would be millions of Christians there. The reason for this is because Jesus declared that only those who are righteous and do works of righteousness are allowed entry into the kingdom of Heaven. (Mat 25) According to Christology, if one is not saved he/she goes to Hell for an eternity. But where did this idea originate from? First off, how would one get saved to avoid the horrible fate of Hell?
According to “Paul’s Gospel” we are saved by God’s grace and mercy and not by works of righteousness which we have done. (Tit 3:5) And Paul also said, you are saved by grace through faith, and not of our works. (Eph 2:8-9) What’s more, not only is there the requirement that one believes in Jesus, but also one must believe, in his heart, that God raised Jesus from the dead (Rom 10:9) — even though it is extremely unlikely that he even died.
On the contrary, Jesus said that one must “keep the commandments to enter into life”. (Mat 19:16-22) Jesus equated perfection with giving all your riches to the poor. To enter into the kingdom of heaven, to Jesus’ disciples, that is what it meant to be saved (Mat 19:23-25). In a nutshell: It’s impossible to be saved unless you are righteous, do works of righteousness and give up all your worldly riches — plus doing the will of God (Mat 7:21, Lk 13:25).
