Some scholars think the author wanted to say that God perfectly and completely forgives a person for sins the person commits. Other scholars think the author wanted to speak about God helping people to resist temptation. That is, God helps them not to sin. -See: [Old Testament (Law and Prophets)](../articles/oldtestament.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md); [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Forgive (Forgiveness, Pardon)](../articles/forgive.md); Sacrifice +See: [Old Testament (Law and Prophets)](../articles/oldtestament.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md); [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Forgive (Forgiveness, Pardon)](../articles/forgive.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md) ### Why did the author write “consciousness of sins”? The author wrote "consciousness of sins" to speak about a person knowing they sinned. This is even after God forgives them. Some scholars think the words, “consciousness of sins” spoke about a person's conscience not being satisfied after an offering was made. That is, the person could obey the Law of Moses, but they still felt guilty. -See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Conscience](../articles/conscience.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md); [Guilty](../articles/guilty.md); Sacrifice +See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Conscience](../articles/conscience.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md); [Guilty](../articles/guilty.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md) ### What was the “reminder” about which the author spoke? The author wrote about a reminder. This was something that made people think about their sins over and over. In the Law of Moses, there was a yearly event called the Day of Atonement. This reminded people of their sins every year. Each year everyone in Israel had to repent. They had to make offerings for sin. This was so that God would cover over their sins for another year. -See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md): [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Repent (Repentance)](../articles/repent.md); Sacrifice +See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md): [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Repent (Repentance)](../articles/repent.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md) ### Why was it “impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins”? It was "impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" because God wants people to obey him instead of sinning. The priests could remove sins. The “blood of bulls and goats”, that is to say sacrificing animals, only covered over sins that people committed. -See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Priest (Priesthood)](../articles/priest.md); [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); Sacrifice +See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Priest (Priesthood)](../articles/priest.md); [Atone (Atonement)](../articles/atone.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md) ### Why did the author say that God “did not desire” sacrifices and offerings? The author wrote that God "did not desire" sacrifices and offerings. This is because the sacrifices and offerings did not give God any honor God unless they were done in the right way. These sacrifices needed to be made by faith in God. The author wanted to say that people needed to believe in Jesus, who is the messiah. -See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md); Sacrifice; [Faith (Believe in)](../articles/faith.md) +See: [Sin](../articles/sin.md); [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md); [Faith (Believe in)](../articles/faith.md) ### Why did the author write “a body you have prepared for me”? The author wrote "a body you have prepared for me" to speak about Jesus, who is the messiah. The author wrote the same thing written in the Psalms where the messiah said to God (see: Psalm 40:6). That is, God allowed himself to be made into a human. He did this in the person of Jesus. It was necessary for Jesus to have a body so that he could offer himself as the perfect sacrifice to God. -See: [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md); [Incarnation](../articles/incarnation.md); Sacrifice +See: [Messiah (Christ)](../articles/messiahchrist.md); [Incarnation](../articles/incarnation.md); [Sacrifice](../articles/sacrifice.md) ### What was the scroll? @@ -71,13 +71,13 @@ See: [Law of Moses](../articles/lawofmoses.md) The "second practice" the author spoke about is when people believe in Jesus.

When the author spoke about a "curtain," he used a metaphor. He wanted people to think about the curtain that separated the holy place from the most holy place. This was in the Tabernacle and the Temple. It was also called the second curtain (see: Hebrews 9:6). This was the curtain which was torn from top to bottom at the moment of Jesus’ died (see: Matthew 27:45-51; Mark 15:33-39). However, the author used this as a metaphor to say that after Jesus, the "curtain" that kept people separate from God no longer exists.
