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]

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.

I wonder why that is.

Read my whole post.
@GodSpeed63

I have of course. Where did you explain why god requires blood and death for sin?
You've said that, that is the rule but you made no effort to address [i]why[/i] that is.

Thoughts?

I'll cut and paste so you'll get better understanding.

Without blood, we die. Therefore, the people used animal's blood to pay for their sins.

Jesus paid the price of sin once and for all with His blood on the cross. Those who will receive that truth are saved, those who don't stay condemned. It's that simple.

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?
@GodSpeed63

No i get that. It's another blood sacrifice. I'm asking you why ANY blood sacrifice is necessary to god.

Well?
