Subject: The Apostle Paul Makes an Animal Sacrifice

Name: Mark Norek

Message: on your show sat 8/20/05 you taught that paul participated in an animal sacrifice. hey, i love israel every bit as much as you, but i would never lie about something like this. the word is "offerings" in kjv and in strong's it is described as an "oblation", not animal sacrifice. c'mon guys, do you really need to lie?

Dear Mark Norek,

We are not liars.

The offering that was made by Paul and those with him (Acts 21) was in accord with the vow of the Nazirite, which includes a sacrifice. See the book of Numbers, Chapter 6.
