Christians and Jews: why do you suppose that God demands the sacrifice of blood? Why does an omnipotent being need blood to be spilt for forgiveness? [Spirituality & Religion]

I mean the answer is obvious.. u just gotta read the beginning basically..
Sin is death.. There was no death before sin.. Equivalent exchange.. 😪 it’s nothing complicated at all..

Pretty good assessment of me, actually. I'm flattered.
The only thing i disagree with is that i'm not particularly interested in changing what people believe about a god. I'm just interested in the debate.
Although you praise me a bit too highly by suggesting someone needs to look up the arguments against my positions lol.

Many Christians do not have genuine faith in the sacrifice and teachings of Jesus. If they did, there would be no demands from them for any more blood sacrifices for sins.
The penalty for breaking the original Commandments was death...
...As to why? the best person to ask would be God Himself, and one day you will have the chance. People tend not to do such a good job of explaining things in a forthright or clear manner...

@Pikachu Right? If you think about it, how would sacrificing an animal you don't care about, help you atone for a sin.
I've always thought that you would try to be a better person to atone for something horrible you did. It doesn't make any sense to give something else pain for your own misgiving 🤷♀️
Of course, I don't approve of doing something to yourself but the irrationality of sacrifice doesn't make sense.

The wages of sin is death but the gift of God leads to everlasting life. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin. Jesus paid that price on the cross for us all.

A good precedent. And going forward please always feel free to copy and paste an answer you felt you gave when i ask that kind of question. It will really speed things up.
But help me out. Because it appears that what you have said is that we need blood to live, therefore god demands blood to atone for sin, even the blood of innocent animals.
Why is that?

I also said that Jesus paid the price for all sin. Weren't you paying attention?

Blood is not needed anymore.
Blood is sacred and the price on our heads was great...blood is no longer needed/the price was paid
precious for precious
life is worth more than a red lollipop

Blood is essential to humans and animals, to give blood is to give life. An honourable sacrifice for a God
@Pikachu God considered animals to be clean and unclean. He required clean sacrifices because the aroma pleased him and with our sacrifice showed obedience which also pleased God.

@HeartlessLove The aroma of corpses pleased him, the smell of the slaughter would be awful 🤢

For the lulz, God just wants to see what humans would do just because his men who wrote the Bible says it 😌

Humans will never know or understand the true reason? 🤷♀️
