Divine justice is • God meeting His own righteous demands against our sin through Christ's death and resurrection (Romans 3:23-26). • God sending those who reject this payment for their sin to the lake of fire, since there's no other sinless substitute who can pay the debt they owe to God for their sin. >> >> God's Rejection of Any Blemished or Defiled Offering >> >> (1) "You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not >> be acceptable for you."

No. That's the point. Men can't atone for their sins, because they can't offer a sinless, infinite sacrifice to God. This is why one must rely on Christ's atonement. >> >> In order for any sacrifice to be accepted before God, it must be >> entirely perfect and without blemish. >> > > Why does any god need a "sacrifice"?
