I never thought they were but each has it's place and "sacrificial offering" in no way negates repentance,confession, and prayer. What about 1 John 1:9?

Judy, what forgives sins -- the single and "once for all time" offering of Christ (Heb. 10) or confession,repentance, and prayer? JdIt's not 'what' JD but rather 'who' and the one who does the forgiving should be the one sinned againstwhich is always God the Father. However, post Calvary since all authority in heaven and on earthhas been given to the Lord Jesus Christ who is also the sacrifice as well as our Great High Priest -It would make sense for us to go to Him as per Hebrews 4:16"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find graceto help in time of need"judyt
