Answer 1

I can only say that everybody interprets the bible differently. The early Bible strongly reflects the ancient myths and is a compilation of the oral tradition. Story after story about God is repeated year after year, decade after decade, century after century and finally written down. The Bible says many things that I would most certainly not do Would I stone my neighbor for not honoring the Sabbath? Would I leave someone out in the wilderness to die because were born blind or deaf? Would I stone someone for committing adultery?
Would I follow the old dietary laws as outlined in the first few books of the Bible? I don't. Nor am I going to sacrifice animals out in the backyard because it is pleasing to God. There are many laws in the Bible and and I believe they reflect the mentality of the generation in which they were written. I certainly cannot ascertain for anybody whether they reflect the mind of God or the mind of man. People have to make their mind up for themselves. In general, I think they employ it to support what they personally believe. What it says that they do not agree with, they ignore. You have to chose for yourself or take the advice of the authorities of the church that you believe in.There are no fast an easy answers. In the New Testament Jesus comes and tels people that he is making a new covenant with them. Did God change His mind about what He wanted. Does God change his mind?. Did he decide he was wrong in what he wanted? Why was an eye for an eye suddenly wrong? Why did the message change to a message of forgiveness? Keep reading and studying what other people have to say. Make it your journey to the truth. The only thing you can do to contact people is click on their avatar and see if they allow email. If they do, you can contact them that way. Good question.

Answer 2

When was the last time you saw someone sacrificing an animal?
Your source is Exodus, about 5000 years old. However a persons flock was his money and source of life sustenance. Much like a thanksgiving dinner today they then ate the sheep.. As they were going to do this to all the sheep anyway eventually it was the ritual that made it special.

All of this was corrected with the coming of Jesus and he said you don`t have to do all this stuff to make God happy. You don`t have to go through priests to talk to God or to get his approval. God is with you everywhere and he only wants you to be happy and enjoy the life he gave you. Live a pure life and you will be happy and rejoice in the happiness. It really is that simple.

The Aztec and Mayans cut out the hearts of people they caught or volunteered to be sacrificed.

Good question and I hope this helps straighten out those gross sounding passages.

Answer 3

The animal sacrifices of the Old Testament (1) revealed to the Jewish people the need for atonement for their sins, and (2) foreshadowed Christ, the Lamb of God, who would take away the sins of the world by His own sacrifice on the cross (Hebrews 7:23-28). Read also Hebrews chapter 9 & 10 in their entirety.

Answer 4

Well mostly because there is no god...MAN made up these rituals because ancient people (from religions much older than Christianity) believed that if they gave something very valuable to them to their god, than that god would take this as an act of faith that He (their god) would replenish the item sacrificed. in the time that the bible was written (by man, i might add) livestock was pretty much the most valuable thing an average person could own. the author of Exodus simply assumed that his god would want similar respect, and borrowed this "tradition". He also thought it would be a good idea to make a horrifying bloody spectacle of yourself and the alter in the process.

ok?

Answer 5

The sacrifice of animals was in the old testament in the bible, when God(Jesus) came to the earth as flesh(man) the sacrifices ceased. We offer up praise & worship as a sacrifice. And repent of our sins. Read the New Testament through you will understand. Also you'll find Acts 2:38 interesting as well.

Answer 6

Animal sacrifices did not begin until after the Golden Calf incident. It was to show the Hebrew people that animals could never be worshipped.
____________________________________
The ancient Jews had a special ritual meal called the Todah (Hebrew: thanks). The Todah sacrificed an animal, but it was greater than other animal sacrifices because it added the suffering of one's own life.

Our Father in heaven was slowly preparing His covenant children for the move from animal sacrifices to the Final Sacrifice. (Ps 40:6,8) "Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required. ... I delight to do Thy will, O my God; Thy law is within my heart."

Again, David wrote, (Ps 51:17) "The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit." And again, (Ps 69:30) "I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs."
Isaiah spoke the words of God, (Is 1:11) "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams." God called instead for a baptism: (Is 1:16) "Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from My eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good."

The ancient rabbis believed that when the Messiah would come all sacrifices except the Todah would cease, but the Todah would continue for all eternity. In 70 AD the Temple fell to earth and all of the bloody animal sacrifices stopped.
Only the Todah remains, the eucharistia, the Final Sacrifice at which the last words spoken are Todah l'Adonai, "Thanks be to God."

Answer 7

By this tedious ceremony, sinners would realize the importance and burdensome nature of the effects of their sins. The life is in the blood, it is God's command that blood is only used for the atonement of sins, that is why blood must be spilled. This was true for Jesus as well. This is also why God doesn't want anyone eating or drinking blood or using it for anything except sin atonement through sacrifice. How do you think he feels about Blood Assurance?

Answer 8

Every creature has a duty in this world and those animals are created for being sacrificed. God wont have any benefit from this. And He can do whatever He wants with His creatures right? And he is testing the mankind with their sources.

Answer 9

It is by blood that we are cleansed from sin. The blood of an innocent lamb, ox, dove, etc. represented the sinless innocent Jesus Christ that would one day be the true sacrifice for sin and repentance for man.

Answer 10

use the box on the strip that has the cross it will say add details.
also the whole idea of the sacrifice was for you to give the best of what you had to God.
