God did not “scrap” everything (wording modification noted)… instead HE reestablished the process and created something that was more streamlined, and more attainable to a larger audience. God enhanced the existing process and launched a new process that allowed for us to reconcile with Him through His Son. I do think the Old testament process foreshadows the events to come, and I am eternally thankful for the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. Now I can bring people to Christ whereever I am…. no new sacrifices needed

Thanks so much for sharing… that is the type of dialogue we need to keep having!

Romans 4:1What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”

Hebrews 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

God doesn’t change; we do. The bible progressively reveals His plan, and ultimately, His Son to us for His glory.

I agree with your workflow cleanup steps, but not the analogy concerning forgiveness as I think it misrepresents God and His eternal plan. But maybe I am just interpreting it different from how you meant it, so some rewording could fix that since Hebrews 10 says
1For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

So keep seeking after God and writing your thoughts, thanks.
