Q6. What do you think God intended animal sacrifice teach us about sin? About holiness? About God's nature? God intended animal sacrifice to teach us: 1) An innocent, pure creature must die for the guilty to pay for sin. 2)Something of value will pay for the sin ie sin is not free. The flock or herd will be diminished due to sin. Holiness: Cannot be obtained by self alone and yet a person must act to strive for holiness. It cannot be obtained from others. God's nature: He is forgiving & allows a means of escape from Sin.

Anger is the only emotion that shows enough displeasure for the sinful act committed. Anything less would be tantamount to approval. The recipient knows EXACTLY what he/she did wrong. Also, knowing this from childhood, anger from the parent for some wrongdoing makes one think twice about repeating the act. It is a stop-dead-in-the-tracks type of thing. Uncontrolled anger serves no good purpose. That anger is not channeled, is wasteful and it hurts feelings and confuses the person(s) at the receiving end. They feel justified in being hateful in return because they know they did not deserve to be punished.
