As I have mentioned in previous posts, the Messianic movement claims that atonement can only come through sacrifice. This claims is false. So, I am listing other Biblical means of atonement to prove that the Messianic movement is Biblically wrong in their claim. Following Solomon's consecration of the Holy Temple, G-d says the following:

2 Chronicles 7:14: "if My people, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

So, we see that atonement can be achieved by praying, being humble before G-d, seeking G-d and ceasing to sin. No mention of atonement is made, which is particularly interesting since G-d makes this statement after King Solomon has made many, many recent sacrifices.
