Doesn't atonement also include the taking of the blood into the inner sanctuary as well as placing the sins of the people onto the goat and then leading it into the wilderness? Christ's death, which is our death, is what the blood of Christ represents. That took care of the guilt and punishment for sin. However, it didn't answer who is responsible. ROB

Then why did God partially abandon Job? Something in Job's life caused God to step back. There was something Job's life that pushed God away...something where God wasn't needed. Let's see how God works: OK, then what was it in Jesus' life that caused God to take a step back? Matt. 27:46 ...My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 2 Cor 5:21 For our sake he [God] made him [Christ] to be sin [as the Son of man] who knew no sin [as the Son of God], so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.Good answer. Job's sufferings represented and foreshadowed the sufferings of Christ. The whole situation of Job was a messianic prophecy, just like when Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac. Now would you say that God wanted to teach Isaac a lesson because of some sin in Isaac's life? Isaac represented Christ. Abraham represented the Father. It may also be relevant to note that both Abraham and Job where rich men who where willing to give up everything at God's behest, like the cargo has to be taken off the camel and he has to get on his knees to enter through the eye of the needle.

Yes. Mel is a good established and welcome part of our Forum Family.
The only issue I have with him is that he doesn't post often enough and long enough.

mel I know you have been around but I hadn't noticed your posts on the theology threads very often. Of course I do recall very well your posts on Daniel and Revelation thread. By saying I hope you visit often, I simply mean I hope we hear more from you.

What was the purpose of the "day of atonement"?
The purpose was
to point to Christ who "taketh away the sins of the world"
The anti-typical "day of atonement" was the day that Christ made the supreme sactifice on the cross for you and me.
mel It might interest you to know that the next Quarterly adult Sabbath School lessons will cover this very topic-- "Atonement and the Cross of Christ," It will continue from Oct. through December. Should be good.
