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:

Reincarnation: Once to Die?
Christians that disapprove of the idea of reincarnation use Heb 9:27, because it says: “…once to die, but after this the judgement” — since man only dies once. But actually this verse is actually not even referring to reincarnation. If you read it in context you will find that what it is really addressing was whether Christ had to die over and over for the sins of the world.
According to the law, the Jews believed (erroneously) that the shedding of blood was necessary for God to forgive sins. They were constantly having to bring animals to be sacrificed to the priest for the forgiveness of sins every time someone needed to be cleansed of sin and forgiven. The point is that is Jesus came to do away with these sacrifices by dying, and once was all that was necessary.
It would take billions of sacrifices to forgive all of mankind’s sins Each person had to bring sacrifices many times because of many sins. Imagine that multiplied by all the millions of people that had ever lived and all those millions who would come in the future.
The point that is being brought out here is that Jesus didn’t need to be sacrificed over and over and over, billions of times in order for all mankind’s sins to be forgiven throughout all time — “Once to die”. Just as man dies once during his lifetime, so Christ died only once was sufficient for all of mankind’s sins (according to the writer).
