God’s Atonement Plan<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The Bible describes a festival called the Day of Atonement.\u00a0 Why do people believe this is a day to fast?\u00a0 How should one fast?\u00a0 What about children and the afflicted?\u00a0 Was Jesus symbolically one of the goat’s of Leviticus and Satan the other goat?\u00a0 Since Jesus was our Passover and only to be slain once, why show a second slaying ceremonially?\u00a0 How does the Day of Atonement fit into God’s plan of salvation?\u00a0 How, why, and should you keep it?<\/span><\/p>\n

The New Testament shows that the the Gentile Gospel writer Luke knew about the Day of Atonement, when he wrote:<\/p>\n

9…sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over (Acts 27:9).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Statement of Beliefs of the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> states this about the Day of Atonement (and more detail is in the article The Day of Atonement–Its Christian Significance<\/a>):<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>The Day of Atonement<\/strong>, called \u201cthe Fast\u201d in the New Testament (Acts 27:9), helps show our own weaknesses and need to be closer to God (Isaiah 58:5,11).\u00a0 This day shows that Jesus was the atoning sacrifice for our sins (John 4:10; cf. Leviticus 16:15-16).\u00a0 It also helps picture that Satan has a role in the sins of humankind and that he be punished by being bound for one-thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3; cf. Leviticus 16:20-26; Isaiah 14:12-16).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are a couple of Spanish language items related to the Day of Atonement:<\/p>\n
