Epic of Gilgamesh: A biblical precursor.

"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."

(Heb. 10:26,27)

I responded to that verse weeks ago.

The writer (Paul) is addressing Christian Jews who were thinking of abandoning Christianity and going back to Judaism and its sacrificial system. Paul is saying the sacrificial system used in the Old Testament is no longer valid due to Christ’s sacrifice, which established God’s New Covenant with man.
