Heb. 9:13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh;

Blank Bible:

sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh] that is cleansed from legal, typical impurities which were external impurities or impurities that come by external things such as touching the dead body of a man etc. - or if the blood of bulls were offered for sin the purification was only with respect to what was external they might be admitted to external privileges after that they might not before. [Here add p. 864. u++ add this at p. 869.u.c] These ceremonial purifications had no proper and direct influence to any purification but only with regard to what was external and temporal. Dr. Dodd[ridge] on verse 9 of this chapter says, 'The Mosaic sacrifices were never intended to expiate offenses to such a degree as to deliver the sinner from the firey judgment of God in another world but merely to make his peace with the government under which he then (?) and to furnish him with a pardon pleadable against any prosecution which might be commenced against him in their courts of justice and exclusion from the privileges of (?) nor to God, as one externally at peace with him in the solemnities of his Temple Worship.'

A sermon on Hebrews 9:13-14 had this "doctrine": "The blood of Christ is sufficient for the perfect taking away of the guilt of sin." This is another evangelical sermon showing that the Old Testament sacrifices took away nothing but external violations of the law while the sacrifices of Christ took away all guilt forever.
