Of course not. There are many Old Testament verses we can "apply" as New Testament believers. (Like in Proverbs for example.) As already clarified, for the believer, the doctrine of
atonement is one of those specific instances where I disregard obedience and submission to the Old Testament and receive, believe, and teach the New Testament as absolute truth.
"For it is
not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4).
"By the which will we are
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10).
It is finished!
