Why Most Christians Misunderstand Sin and Animal Blood Sacrifices - Michael Heiser

Michael Heiser focuses on helping students think like ancient Israelites by exploring complex and often foreign biblical concepts such as impurity, sin, ritual and moral uncleanness, sacred space, and the sacrificial system. He explains the two categories of uncleanness in the Old Testament: ritual impurity, which bars one from sacred spaces and participation but is not a moral fault, and moral impurity, which involves ethical violations and has severe consequences, including defilement of the land and sanctuary. Heiser emphasizes that many Old Testament laws, rituals, and sacrifices are grounded in symbolic, theological lessons about life, death, and holiness rather than direct moral judgment. He provides insight into how these ancient practices and concepts continue to inform New Testament theology, particularly in understanding Jesus as the eschatological temple and the believer as sacred space, drawing connections between ritual, morality, and spirituality in biblical texts. Throughout his teaching, Heiser stresses the importance of contextual and abstract thinking to grasp these ancient ideas that challenge modern literal interpretations. #MichaelHeiser #BiblicalStudies #AncientIsrael #RitualImpurity #MoralImpurity #SacredSpace #OldTestamentLaw #LeviticusExplained #BiblicalTheology #SinAndPurity #SacrificialSystem #ChristianTheology #JesusEschatology #SpiritualFormation #ContextualBibleStudy
