In a recent post someone made this statment, "God did require any shedding of Blood for sin."
I BELIEVE THAT STATMENT TO BE - IN ERROR?
Here is what the WORD SAYS......
(Hebrews 9:22) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
GOD has always required the shedding of blood, from the First ANIMALS to cover the Nakedness of Adam and Eve = = To The FINAL SACRIFICE = FOR ALL SIN.....
(1Corinthians 5:7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. = = Fore Even = CHRIST OUR PASSOVER = Is Sacrificed for US:
Thanks, RR

Not every thing in the Holy Scriptures is to be taken for it's Literal Word.
GOD HAS NO NEED. GOD HAS NO REQUIREMENTS of us. We cannot harm GOD. God does not judge us. One way or the other, he merely observes. What happens to us is purely science. Cause and Effect. There are Actions and Reactions. There are bigger things going on in the Universe than we can even begin to imagine, and The CREATOR/GOD The Unmoved/Mover, The All there IS, The Alpha/Omega, enjoys this mighty big, never-ending, playground. He Seeks not for Sacrifice. That is my belief...All there is, all there was, and all there ever will be is LOVE=GOD. FOREVER.

In the old testament it a blood sacrifice was necessary, every year for the atonement for the sins of the people. But since Christ has died and shed his blood, a blood sacrifice wasn't any longer necessary because he was the ultimate sacrifice for atonement of sin. If after he died, and there still needed to be a blood sacrifice he would have died in vain.

This statement you have provided is indeed in error. Heb 9:22 states clearly...
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
There are many many scriptures that prove that the death of Christ was the propitiation for ALL sin. There is now no need for animal sacrifice, because Christ payed it all on the cross.
Now all we need do is come to Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and we shall be cleansed white as snow.
Isa 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Yes.
Judeo-christianity is a blood sacrifice religion.
Old and new testament.
The only change in the new testament is that god required a human, rather than an animal sacrifice.
Christians even still say things like "washed in the blood" and "freed from sin by christ's blood".
Blood cults are, and always have been, very popular and very powerful.

well, the error is in the Bible as it contradicts itself concerning the validity of blood sacrifice.
Leviticus 17:11
I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Hebrews 10:4
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Numbers 29:5
And one kid of the goats for a sin offering: to make an atonement for you.
Hebrews 10:11
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Hebrews 7
27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

The only blood that God required has been already shed, no more blood is required for sin. You do not understand what you read. You should pray for understanding and continue to study.

Can you find old testament Scriptures for sacrifice? I'd like to know about that. I think God does require blood sacrifices and that's what Jesus fulfilled.

Christ IS our Passover Lamb. The Sacrifices ended with Him; the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world.

Yeah, God did require and still requires the shedding of blood (for the priesthood of our Lord Jesus Christ is an EVERLASTING priesthood, cf. Heb 7, following the Levitical priesthood which is an EVERLASTING covenant, "This was made to him [Aaron and the tribe of Levi] for AN EVERLASTING TESTAMENT, and TO HIS SEED AS THE DAYS OF HEAVEN, TO EXECUTE THE OFFICE OF THE PRIESTHOOD, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name" (Ecclesiasticus 45.19).
What God did not require is "ANY shedding of blood".
