Today the Jews do not sacrifice animals to my knowledge. If they are still under the Mosaic law should they still be doing this?

When did the Jews stop sacrificing animals?

That would be hard since they don't have a priest class anymore or a temple. I think the reason synagogues developed was there was no place to sacrifice when they were in captivity to the Babylonians and it continued after the final destruction of the temple at which animal sacrifices stopped.

There is no temple. Half of the Law had to do with the Temple worship. No Temple, no sacrifice. Still, something sacrificial is still practiced by a Jewish sect in Yom Kippur.

So was it at the destruction of Jerusalem at 70CE then? It was mentioned to me today by an old friend, who asked me as an ex jw did i have any thoughts on it. I did mention 70 CE but have never given it a thought.

Jehovah was a spaceman from Nibiru.
He was the God of the Jews and he had them barb be que for him while he was living with them.
When He went back to Nibiru.
The Jews stopped grilling.
Read Zechariah Sitchin.
Youll never see the bible the same.
Start with his first book, the 12th planet.
He wrote 7.

Dig,
The Jews are planning to revive the sacrifice in the near future.
They are trying to breed a perfect red heifer.
In the meantime, they need what amounts to as a child sacrifice: parents willing to give up an infant to be raised in isolation so his purity can be maintained. The priest officiating the ceremony must have no deformaties and be "pure" in every aspect. Here's more info:
