Psalm 51:19 in context is said because David wanted to give sacrifices but they were unacceptable because of his sin. It doesn't mean that repentance alone is the only sacrifice required.God can forgive whomever he wishes without any activity on the part of the pentiant. But what he requires from us is repentence, meaning to turn away from the sin and turn back to God. Psalm 51:19 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
That's true but why does God not require sacrifices for intentional sins? Because he has his own sacrifice waiting.What needs to change is your mistaken idea that God asked us to make a sin offering for intentional sins. Turn to Leviticus 4 and read the chapter on sin offerings. You will notice that not only does the introduction say it is for unintentional sins, but all of the examples given are all unintentional sins.
Yes Jesus said it; but it also just makes sense. Use logic.You believe this only because you think Jesus said it and that what Jesus says is somehow important. The truth is that apart from Christians, the entire world notes that good people do exist.
Forgiveness with only repentance because the price has already been paid by God.No, you are having problems confusing your sets with your subsets. Yes blood can atone, but there is atonement without blood as well, and forgiveness with only repentence.
God redeems the soul of his servants. (see Psalm 34:22) so there is a price God pays for them.
You're right of course but there is also a required sacrifice. This is only consistent.Repentence is much MUCH harder than making a sin offering. Really, he demands more of the intentional sinner by requiring them to alter their lives.
If you were God and someone intentionally murdered someone, would you let them get off scot free by simply offering a token of a burnt offering? Or would you demand more of them than that, demand that they change their ways, turn from their sin, and turn back to God's law?
