why did god need jesus' blood in order to wash away ur sins?
Was there somthing missing on god's part?
I mean, if he was THE MOST POWERFUL AND MERCIFUL, why would be need to spill a blood of a human and cant wash away ur sins unless that happened? why kill an innocent man and JUSTIFY it by claiming he died for our sins?

to make things right, there needed to be a sacrifice.
back in the old testament, the sacrifice needed had to be a pure and clean animal, usually a lamb. this was blameless before God and pleasing.
new testament, there needed to be a sacrifice to correct things. Jesus was that pure, spotless "lamb" for sacrifice.
you have it backwards, there wasn't a killing and then a justification. there was a justification and then a need for a sacrifice.
no other human could have worked out. jesus was the only person to ever live and not fall into sin. the sacrifice had to be pure.

Before Jesus came as the Lamb of God the people had no way other than to sascrifice Innocent little lambs once a year, one for every household. considering how many households there are and how many spotless little lambs. God knew the best way would be to send His one and only Son to Earth as a human and sacrifice Him to pay for all the sins of all the households for all eternity. If you ask me Gods way is the better way. Don't you think so? I mean, what if you can't get ure hands on a perfect little innocent lamb by the appointed time?

It's a brilliant questian as per the secular view and from the intellectual point. That's why the Bible very clearly says :-
When the world didn't acknowledge and accpet Jesus as God and recognise God and His plans with their "own or Self knowledge" it pleases God to show all his glory, the will and the plan of God to those who accept Jesus through the knowledge that looks like foolishness to the world."
We accepted with the knowledge God gave to us to understand the sacrifice of Jesus and His blood which may look foolishness to you but still we hold on to this untill we reach in Heaven,
there are many more brillent questians you can put on to keep live as you like and tease God but the end point is distruction. It is not a threat to you but it is a suggetion not to depend on your brain.
but to answer you, my silly answer will make you to think. when you buy some thing you need to pay, it doesnt mean since you are the President of America you can get some thing from the shop (even a small provision store) for free. Though He is God He has a system that applies to Him as well.
to claim salvation and eternel life Blood is the price... not very blood but as you said in your questian "innocent blood" that washes away every sin for every at any time at any cost and at any time period.
God bless you

Jesus was not a man, He was God incarnate. He was not killed, He laid down His life!
You really need to know a little more about Christianity to understand the concept. There are many ways to learn about Christianity, but the best way to know is to become one.
There is absolutely nothing missing in God's plan, the only thing that would be missing, would be us choosing freely to accept His atonement for our sins. God Bless you!

The wages of sin is death.All mankind has sinned.Therefore all mankind must die to atone for sin.
The only way mankind may escape the death penalty is if another pays our debt.The only one who would qualify is the one who made us (as the potter is more valuable than all the pots he creates).
The only way he could be resurrected is if he has never committed sin and therefore is not under the penalty of death.
His death pays your debt if you accept that the debt is paid,if you do not then the debt must be paid by you.Simple but brilliant.

THe BIble says that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. The sacrifice, in order for it to be acceptable to God, had to be perfect, without sin itself. The only man to ever live a perfect life was Jesus.
In order for you to understand the need for the Cross, you need to understand that God is holy, righteous, and perfect, and because of this, He cannot tolerate sin, and we all have sinned.

Jesus paid for our sins with his death they say, but paid who? Is this a tacit admission that Satan is more powerful than God? There are some hugh discrepancies in the theology of christians today which points to the idea that Paul was the anti-christ, and his rule is soon over.

I think you are taking the word literal.
It was jesus' blood that would wash away our sins.
No one elses.

b/c nothing in life is free.
To release us from our sins, even our future sins, God needed the ultimate sacrifice. We as sinners couldn't offer anything close to that.
I encourage you to accept this gift from God.
