Most of the sins committed before the coming of Jesus, were resulting in the death of the offender for example;adultery-Deuteronomy 22v22, mulder-Leviticus 25v17,dishonouring parents-Leviticus 20v9 etc.The person found guilty was to be stoned to death after the verdict.The judgement was passed after the testmony of two witnesses.
God wanted these people to be removed from the group Israelites to remove evil from among them. He did not want them to influence the others.The verdict was to be fully executed with no modifications.
other sins were worth the sacrifice of animals.They called it sin offering.
some examples of such sins were; cheating in a business deal-Leviticus 6v2, making foolish vows-Leviticus 5v4 etc.
There were special instruction on how to slaughter these sacrifice animals and special fire was to be made to burn them. The procedure was only done by the ordained priest at a special place chosen by God. There were even special animals for each type of sin
The blood of Jesus made a huge difference.It is strong enough to cleanse the sinner, bringing him to an original status whereby he can no longer be a bad infulence, therfore no need to kill sinners nowadays. The blood of Jesus can stop the spreading of iniquities.
The other amazing thing is that anyone can call upon Jesus for forgiveness anytime anywhere.
There is no need now to slaughter animals,
we have the blood of Jesus.
no need for special fire for burnt offering,
we have the Holy Ghost fire.
The blood of Jesus,
Heals ALL disease,
fights ALL my enemies,
Cleanses ALL my sins,
Talks of ALL good things about me.
