Do you believe "God Is Love"? If so, then why would God in all of his glory and splendor need a blood sacrifice? Why would he be so full of wrath only a sacrifice would appease him? That implies God is insecure enough that human disobedience would be a threat to his authority, or in some way diminsh him.

One of the christian three gods, the father seem to be a very excited and sadistic god. I wonder how can a father be a christian and teach his son this religion as this religion the god sends his son to be crucified for other's crime. Nonsense...

That was created by the religions. Christianity has the traces of Greek and Roman Mythology. Remember that it was declared an official religion of the Roman empire who could not stay away from the idea of their Old pagan belief of Gods and Godesses including the gods who came down to earth and took human forms for sacrifices or even impregnating a mortal.
The life of Jesus has twisted so many laws in the Old Testament rendering it useless and making the New Testament as the right one yet the The Book of Revelations will show you how it claims that everything was revealed to His prophets only and nothing has mentioned about the apostles.
I invite you to visit this website and learn the truth including the true name of god. www.thename.ph

First of all, God didn't need it... we did. God gave us the gift of Christ, as a fulfillment of scripture. This is not a subject that can be described in 3 minutes... it's like asking why a car 'goes'.... there are dozens of things happening that end up with the final result.
You need to understand the Passover, which is in Exodus, to understand why Jesus was sacrificed. In the old testament, a blood sacrifice was required for the atonement of sins. Jesus became the atonement for our sins, thus ending the 'old' law, which was based on works, and brought to light the new law, which is based on faith and redemption.
In order for a sacrifice to be worthy, it has to be precious. The sinners in the old testament had to sacrifice their best livestock, not their sick or feeble. The blood of Christ was indeed difficult for God to watch (he turned away during the crucifiction), but it was the only sacrifice that could possibly save a world of sinners.
Read in Exodus about the 10 plagues on Egypt, and the subsequent Passover Feast... it'll make a little more sense.

That is just the thing that got "misinterpreted" God did not make Jesus die for our sins. Jesus chose to die so we may see the glory of his father, hoping that we would live by his word. In which we have not. But none of that should have mattered, whether Jesus was the son of God or if he was just a man that believed that he could of made a change, he had many good points, until years on man's twists and bends to his word converted it into a cult.

It's a spiritual book keeping trick.
Heaven is a place with out sin. Therefore is some one with sin where let in, it wouldn't be heaven any more.
The wages of sin is death. There fore, to counter-act the sin, some on has to die. Still with me? This is were it get interesting....
God is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the first and will be the last. He is omnipresent. He is in all places. Therefore if he were to die, all sin would die with him. But since only mortals can die, enter Jesus.
Now, we have God in mortal form ( or son, not arguing semantics here ) an extension of the Omnipresent being dieing on the cross and bringing all the wages of sins with him when he dies his mortal death.
Okay, now it gets complicated. Free will (the ability given to us by God to make our own choices ) dictates that you can't be forced into this scenario, there for you have the right to chose that the sacrifice made by Jesus will include your sins as well, or not.
So, you see. It took the 'death' of the Almighty God to remove all sin. But it is in free will that we decide if that includes our sin or not.
I know it sounds complicated. But it all rest on the point that sin can not be in Heaven and God wants you to be in heaven with him. I hope this helps, best wishes.

Alright, I basically get what you are asking, now try and stay with me. Before Jesus came to earth to "save us" there was no life after death. After He died and was resurrected this left the portal so to speak, for man to be resurrected after death. We regain consciousness after we die but only if we have faith. True faith, faith from your whole soul, not superficial trust. Go to artakiane.com ~ here you will see one of God's true prophets, maybe the light bulb will go off. So yes my dear, we did need saving. He didn't NEED the sacrifice for Himself, He gave us the chance to be good, and live with him FOREVER> in a world where no one hates or doubts or hurts. Heaven, home. God bless.
p.s. nothing and nobody will diminish Him.

No, actually God sent his most beloved (and only) son to die because some dumb chick listened to a snake and ate some fruit.

God as much is LOVE is also the God of JUSTICE & LAW. He create all good things which includes justice. lawfulness, integrity & honour. He is also a HOLY God. Sin & satan are totally opposite of God. As much as HE love us, He like a judge need to uphold the law just like you will expect a human judge sending his own son to jail if in the eyes of the law he has committed grave crimes.

That was the ultimate portrayal of love. "For God so loved this world that He gave us His only son". He could have wiped us all out and started over, taken away our free will, but He didn't. He sacrificed His son (who is also a part of Himself) for us.

It also implies limitation. If God "needed" a blood sacrifice that is.
