a) did He at one time demand animal and human sacrifice?
b) command His people to kill
c) kill all of mankind in a flood, tsunami, other natural disasters
d) sacrifice His son for our sins ...
On the contrary, God seems to think life is anything BUT precious!

Maybe God is just talking about His life...

I can understand why you feel this way. However, God never commanded human sacrifice that is witch craft which is very different. Animal sacrifice was neccessary for an atonement of man's sin. Sin entered into humanity through man's rebelliousness. Prior to the fall no animals were killed.
God will not tolerate evil and wickedness if His people are at risk because of other's wickedness He will step in and protect His people. God created all people that they may know Him and have relationship with Him but if some choose their own way that is their choice.
The flood was to wipe out wickedness that had come about through it would seem women and possibly the demonic having sex.
The tsunami hit in a place where, again, wickedness was rife. Hurricane Katrina too.
He gave His only son who was God also, as the most precious thing He could give. Jesus chose that way Himself. He entered into humanity for that very purpose.
God gave mankind the gift of life eternal for all those who believe (which means obey) in His son.
This life is only for a moment but eternity is forever. God does regard life as precious but this life here on earth is temporary and it is Eternal life that God has for us.
His ways are higher than ours and His thoughts are higher than ours. We can not understand God in all His fullness. I, as a Christian know some things about God but I cannot know all about Him until the day that I see Him face to face.
I hope this makes some sense to you.

Our Creator never commanded Sacrafice animal or human, it is Human Beings that made this choice. Killing is also a choice by people.
Sometimes natural disasters are the Earths way of adjusting the damage we have inflicted on her to get some balance and harmony back, there is a cycle to all things.
It was the People of that time and place who put Jesus on the cross not the Creator, people have free will and that is what happened. He was a threat to what the people back then were trying to achieve so he was put on the cross as a reminder to all not to cross there path.
At the end of the day it is the people who made those choices.

God never demanded human sacrifice first of all. He commanded His people to kill because the people they were killing were evil and God is a just God. The same goes for the flood. He sacrificed his son for our sins to save our lives, it was an act of love! And he raised His son, Jesus, from the dead. God knows what's best and we just have to trust Him even if we don't understand.

man miss understands the first birth thing
think when people get to gether they form in thier mind a perfect expextation of the result
with spiritual people this can create a chost like astral shell ,it is perfect but its not reality it is this perfect projection that was to be tested ,given to god ,of this thought form
think you are going to breed a sheep ,you imagine the sheep and choose the parentals very carfully ,you are so sure you dream the illusion of perfection into an astral form
the key is that the sacrifice is meant to be perfect ,life isnt perfect thus an unblemished lamb the perfect idea belongs to god just to be safe
the perfect is the clue ,
god dosnt need sacrifice thus was the perfect sacrifice of christ bought forward to end the need
you talk about abraham saxcrificing his son ,but he didnt because at the last moment he noticed a blemmish ,thus it ,his son was not a projection
god dosnt kill or need to this sunami thing we know they come every now and again ,just as we know the sanfransisco earth quake is gonna come
yet of frewill or stupidity peaple insist on living in danger ,catastrophy happens ,if you got no oil in your lamp when it comes well just blame god right.
god didnt kill jesus men did.
god is love ,just love god is perfect and just
when you die you dont die you are born again ,jesus said so and so it is
people who died arnt dead
really read what jesus said
to live eternally you really must be born again into spirit
i baptise you with water but ione shall come who will birth you again in spirit.,through the fire ie death.

Hey:
Never question God! Its his work and we the mortals are paying for our sins so all will have to suffer! There is something called reincarniation and what we do now will affectv us in our next life, so those of us who suffer now were really nasty in our previus life and we are getting what we deserve!
God never said to sacrifice its humans that writes those things! Maybe its the deomns n devils!
God thinks life is precious thats y u r still alive to write this question n I am to answer ,thats y we have cures forillnessand thats y children r been and thats y our prayers r answered!

Because the wages of our sin is death. That death had to be paid by someone. Before Christ Innocent animals died in our place. Before the fall of man no animals were killed nor were there natural disasters. Christ was the final sacrifice. The Perfect Lamb.

You are spirit,a being of light,you are the life that animates the body,I could kill your body,i can not harm the life therein. you lived before you had this body and you will live after it is gone.,God did not Kill,in fact, one of the commandments given to moses was;thou shalt not KILL. The things you speak of are mans attempts to communicate with God the only way they understood. One should not try to bring God to human level,we should rise to have unity on his level of reality.

No thats not true, Gods kingdom is unto death, and for those who have eternal life to die is gain, when you know about the kingdom of Glory, death is a privalige and will be rewarded by what happens the next moment, you will be standing in his presance in the corts of thousands of angels sing glory. ot just looks bad on this level. Lighten up and read your bible and learn who god really is, he sent his son to die in the flesh and the next moment he's resurrected and in charge of heaven and earth and your and my soul, now what????repent , Now, go read John and get to know Jesus, what he said and done, its a secret message from outside of time or our earthly relm, it comes from God himself and it is a love letter to you, his child! Good luck.

properly, as i do not do what you advise, your question is moot. i'm, notwithstanding, attentive to the very authentic God, one for whom there is sufficient data, it is why in difficulty-free words 2.3% of persons in the international (as of 2006) are atheist. no longer in difficulty-free words am I attentive to God, yet, I somewhat have a touch tight relationship with Him. Which truly works as a favorable rigidity in my life.
