SCRIPTURE
Leviticus 1:2 (NIV)
When someone brings a grain offering to the LORD, his offering is to be of fine flour. He is to pour oil on it, put incense on it
Leviticus 2:1 (NIV)
If someone's offering is a fellowship offering, and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he is to present before the LORD an animal without defect.
Leviticus 3:1 (NIV)

Gospel Thread - NT:
Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?
Mark 2:7 (NIV)
The teachers of the law were right about the former: only God can forgive sin; however, they were wrong about the former. Jesus did not blaspheme. He proved He was God by not only telling the man his sins were forgiven, but also healing his paralysis.
