Yes, a replacement that I believe you failed to identify. The NT concerns the replacement and goes into great detail over it.
No, a replacement that was textually identified many years before Jesus was around, and was understood already.
Are you speaking of the oral law? Please be specific.
I think the punishment was fulfilled in AD 70.
That’s nice. You can think all sorts of things if you try hard enough.
And that is what the text of the NT teaches, a text that I would hazard you know very little of and yet speak from a point of authority on.
How are you following the laws as prescribed in the Torah? I do not see animal sacrifices as prescribed for atonement.
So, first, you seem not to understand what the laws in the Torah includes if you ask the first part of your question. And you don’t understand the Mosaic laws of atonement if you ask the second part.
I understand that an animal sacrifice was needed for sin, per the Law of Moses, the idea of a substitutionary payment for sin. The animal was acting in place of the sinner and it was a costly sacrifice, even so, yet it preserved the life of the sinner. I understand that from the beginning of Genesis there was a principle of sacrifice, and Abel's sacrifice was considered more noble than Cain's. I understand that animal sacrifice was required under the Law. An animal sacrifice was always only a temporary sacrifice for sin until God could give the sacrifice which would atone for sin forever.
Hebrews 9 explains this in great detail for anyone who wants to understand the OT system of sacrifice better. I thought Jews would understand it, that bulls and goats were never a permanent sacrifice for sin, yet
they WERE required under that covenant. (see below) Bulls and goats are not the guilty party before God. Human beings are. They act as a substitute until God would make a sufficient sacrifice, a sinless human to restore righteousness. Until that time (when Jesus sacrificed Himself) the message of the OT is a continual annual sacrifice for the people of God on Yom Kippur that ended in AD 70 with the destruction of the Temple and priesthood. After that time, Jews were no longer obedient to the covenant they made with God, nor could they be because God was displeased with that covenant yet used it for a purpose to demonstrate.
Hebrews 10:4-5
New American Standard Bible
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“You have not desired sacrifice and offering,
But You have prepared a body for Me;
Remember:
Each day you shall offer a bull as a sin offering for atonement, and you shall purify the altar when you make atonement for it, and you shall anoint it to consecrate it.
36And
a bull as a sin offering you shall offer up every day for the atonements, and you shall purify the altar by performing atonement upon it, and you shall anoint it, in order to sanctify it.
לווּפַ֨ר חַטָּ֜את תַּֽעֲשֶׂ֤ה לַיּוֹם֙ עַל־הַכִּפֻּרִ֔ים וְחִטֵּאתָ֙ עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ בְּכַפֶּרְךָ֖ עָלָ֑יו וּמָֽשַׁחְתָּ֥ אֹת֖וֹ לְקַדְּשֽׁוֹ:
Where is that practiced in our day by the Jewish people? That was required by God until He established the New Covenant in His Son.
As for atonement as required under the Law:
And on the next day Moses said to the people, “You yourselves have committed a great sin; and now I am going up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.
And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, so that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf.
He shall also do with the bull just as he did with the bull of the sin offering; he shall do the same with it. So the priest shall make atonement for them, and they will be forgiven.
And he shall offer all its fat up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin, and he will be forgiven.
Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat was removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar as a soothing aroma to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
Then he shall remove all its fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of the peace offerings, and the priest shall offer it up in smoke on the altar, on the offerings by fire to the Lord. So the priest shall make atonement for him regarding his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
He shall also bring his guilt offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin.
The second he shall then prepare as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it will be forgiven him.
So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has committed from one of these, and it will be forgiven him; then the rest shall become the priest’s, like the grain offering.’”
And he shall make restitution for that which he has sinned against the holy thing, and shall add to it a fifth part of it and give it to the priest. The priest shall then make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it will be forgiven him.
He is then to bring to the priest a ram without defect from the flock, according to your assessment, as a guilt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he committed unintentionally and did not know it, and it will be forgiven him.
and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he will be forgiven for any one of the things which he may have done to incur guilt.”
But no sin offering of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place shall be eaten; it shall be burned with fire.
The guilt offering is like the sin offering: there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with it shall have it.
Next Moses slaughtered it and took the blood and with his finger put some of it around on the horns of the altar, and purified the altar. Then he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and consecrated it, to make atonement for it.
The Lord has commanded us to do as has been done this day, to make atonement on your behalf.
Moses then said to Aaron, “Come near to the altar and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, so that you may make atonement for yourself and for the people; then make the offering for the people, so that you may make atonement for them, just as the Lord has commanded.”
“Why did you not eat the sin offering at the holy place? For it is most holy, and He gave it to you to take away the guilt of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord.
Then he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female.
And almost all things are cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
***
The idea that you have the ability to live without sin before a holy God on your own merit is not what your OT Scriptures teach by its examples. And constantly we see the people of Israel offering animal sacrifices for their sins and the sins of the people. The very fact is the Israel could never live that righteous life required by God. Even David, who God looked upon as the apple of His eye sinned. Sin (or disobedience to God) brought death into the world, and all humans die. You can't deny that. Adam was given the choice to live forever in the Garden (at peace with God) yet the day he ate of the tree of knowledge he was barred from the intimate presence of God, and that very day he died spiritually to God. On that very day he was tossed from the Garden. Adam's sin corrupted humanity.
16And the Lord God commanded man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat.
טזוַיְצַו֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֔ים עַל־הָֽאָדָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר מִכֹּ֥ל עֵֽץ־הַגָּ֖ן אָכֹ֥ל תֹּאכֵֽל:
17But of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it,
for on the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die."
יזוּמֵעֵ֗ץ הַדַּ֨עַת֙ ט֣וֹב וָרָ֔ע לֹ֥א תֹאכַ֖ל מִמֶּ֑נּוּ כִּ֗י בְּי֛וֹם אֲכָלְךָ֥ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת:
“But if the wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.
