Isaiah 1:10-14
10 Hear the word of the LORD ,
you rulers of Sodom;
listen to the law of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!
11 "The multitude of your sacrifices-
what are they to me?" says the LORD .
"I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure
in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,
this trampling of my courts?
Does YHWH not desire sacrifice?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!
Your incense is detestable to me.
New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-
I cannot bear your evil assemblies.
14 Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts
my soul hates.
They have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
Does YHWH not desire the assembling of His people for the appointed feasts?
Sacrifices ARE requried. The observances of the feasts ARE required also. But YHWH doesn't want us to bother with it all if we continue to SIN.
I believe that the sacrifices and Feasts are required. But there's a problem- sort of... There's no way that we can do these things as the Torah tells us to. Why not? I'll get to that tomorrow. Maybe.
with love,
