burntdaisy622 welcome to the forum!
I find your ideas interesting as you quote something, yet give no biblical refrence for it. The theology is interesting however and seems to hinge on the idea of sacrifice.
I would like to ask you why god desires blood sacrifice?
In the OT the priests would offsten kill bulls or sheep to apease God, logicaly Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, a human one. This is why he is often refered to as the lamb of God, Cleansing blood etc. Why does god require the shedding of blood in order to be apeased?
This has allways been an interesting quetion to me, and one that defies logic. There are numerous refrences in the OT about how the aroma of burning meat is pleasing to the lord.
Finaly, I think you missed crashfrogs point:
God = Omnipotent
this is the guy who said "let there be light" and there was. He needs not kill anyone, his son or otherise, he can just say "let the sin gap be filld", or "let mans souls be clean" etc.
You understand?
The question then is if god can do the above, why did he choose the path he did?
I think this ties in with the OT ideas of sacriffice. If you could explain why god likes dead things offered up to him, I would be much obliged!
From this, I think we can both learn more concerning gods nature.
Thank you very much.
