  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

All that to say you believe the scapegoat is not in reference to Jesus but to another.

It was the scapegoat who took away the sins of the people so please tell me who this scapegoat is if not Jesus Christ?

it is two goats, ONE sacrifice

I agree it is idiomatic, even stated so a few times already, and I get what you are saying but disagree because the scapegoat no matter how you look at it was a part of the atonement.

That is sin being sent back to hasatan and him be permanently exiled from God and His people.

Either way we agree that the sins are permanently removed for the people, but why do you then limit it to only Israel when John says it is also for the whole world?

You have no idea how accurate their oral tradition was. It was extremely accurate; way beyond anything today.

I own 3 Hebrew bibles with commentary and not one of them says this.

Azazel was taken out and driven into the wilderness where it met its death either by wild carnivore or (in later years) being driven over a cliff to its death.

What they do say however is that azazel is a god that accepted as property the sins as a sacrifice to himself.

So do you believe in a god called azazel?

So much for the traditions of men

Wrong--sorry it is hard to read, but I can't get rid of the lines. My computer gets the hiccups. If you would read Leviticus you would get it. Can't be said in 3 words or less.

The one goat was called the Lord's goat--that was the goat slain and whose blood was sprinkled on the veil for a sin offering, it is his blood that is shed--representing the blood sacrifice of Jesus. Without blood there can be no remission of sins.

Lev 16:20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
Lev 16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

All the sins of the congregation were placed on the scapegoat after the Lord's goat was slain. Then the goat was led out into the wilderness to die. Later, after a goat had found it's way back to the camp, they started to take the goat and throw it over a mountain, it was dashed to pieces bones broken. Jesus bones were never broken.
Jesus paid the price for our sins--His blood washes our sins away. Satan will bear the blame for those sins. The wilderness also represents the 1000 years Satan will spent in the bottomless pit before being destroyed and all sin with him. The scapegoat is Satan. He does not cleanse us from sin---he bears the blame.

Huh? and here I thought Jesus was the fulfillment of the sacrificial laws.
On the personal level, yes; but not the national level.

That is what Yom Kippur is about.

agreed so far.


the wilderness is a idiom meaning that the one sins are gone and Satan has no involvement on the day of atonement. Read Heb. 9 again , it is JESUS who bore our sins or takes away our sins.

Yom kipper was once a year for the whole nation. It is a done deal, over kaput in Christ who did it ONCE for ALL
For all the individuals in the nations but not for the nations themselves.

That fits just fine.

the wilderness is a idiom meaning that the one sins are gone and Satan has no involvement on the day of atonement. Read Heb. 9 again , it is JESUS who bore our sins or takes away our sins.

The sins of the congregation are placed on the Lord's goat--only one goat is called the Lord's, the one slain who's blood is sprinkled on the veil and alter.

Lev_16:8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

The scapegoat sheds no blood and would not be needed if Jesus paid the price and the blame for our sins. It is the scapegoat that is shed without blood sacrifice. The sins are cleansed by the blood of the Lord's goat--the High Priest then transfers those sins to the scapegoat and he is led away to the wilderness---later thrown over a mountain and dashed to pieces. Jesus, as our High Priest. will lay the blame for all sin right on the head of Satan and he and all sin are destroyed. Jesus is not to blame for our sins--He aid the price and cleanses us from them. Satan is to blame. But if you prefer to have your non biblical version---go right ahead.

That is why they needed two goats for ONE sacrifice.

10But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

It is the scapegoat that makes the atonement and takes away the sin.

So if you prefer your unbiblical version that Satan is the scapegoat that takes away sin... go right ahead, because scripture tells us it is Jesus who does that (takes away our sin)

not really. John is making the same distinction here as Paul does in 1 tim. 4:10 and Paul makes it clear it is for ALL MEN.
No, in context, Paul is stating all types of men. Same thing Paul does in Titus 2:11.

And if you read John 10, it states the same thing in another way. Christ died for His sheep.
