If God wants to forgive us, if god wants to forgive us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die...why can't he just forgive us?

Why do you suppose that he needs death and blood and torture to forgive if that is his desire?

I'm not 100% sure myself but I trust Him. In Revelation (I think it is), Jesus says he has the keys of death and hades.

Yeah, i mean i don't really expect anyone to be say "I know what god's thinking and here's the answer!". More just interested in how they would justify blood sacrifice as payment for forgiveness and why god made the rules like that.
