remall: YOu are actually very wrong, It was obviously :"for' God, "the aroma of burnt flesh was pleasing to Him." and Cain didn't sacrifice animals for Him, so he was the "bad" one.
He needed a human sacrifice to be the big shabang sacrifice so we wouldn't have to sacrifice animals? ....I think you are the one who needs to study your own bible.

May Allah guide you. You are astray. Why look in the bible? It is a book that has been changed. First of all there is no such thing as a bible and why don't you investigate the origins and basis of what you believe?

It isn't that God likes sacrifices, it is the value of the sacrifice that counts. According to tradition the BEST of the flock would be sacrificed. That way the person is saying, "God, here is my most prized possession, and I offer it up to you". I mean many people could give nickles and dimes to God, but to give your most valuable property is to show your devotion.
The blood of the sacrifice, thus, atones for sins. It isn't just "buying off your sins", the value is that you offer up your most valuable property as a sign that you are sincere in your offer.
The value of God's unique Son is naturally worth more than all of us combined. His blood is far more precious than ours, we are merely the sick and lame of the flock. But Christ is the sacrifice for us, so that our sins can be washed from the sacrifice.
"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings" Hosea 6:6
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matthew 9:12

He dosnt like sacrifice. Psalms says He longs for obedience and our love rather than sacrifices. But we messed up so to correct those mistakes sacrifice was required. Now because of that we can have a personal relationship with God and eternal life. Sorry I couldnt give you a better aanswer. Ive had a bad day and am tired so its difficult for me to come up with 50 Bible verses or be all philoshophical

The sacrificial system was to point to the True Lamb of God that would be slain for the world in order to provide relief from the sin epidemic. God does not like any human or animal sacrifice but it was to be for us, not Him. Check out the site below and do the studies and you will learn all about it.

For some spritual reason, bloodshed is linked with both sin and forgiveness. Perhaps the idea that the penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:26) sheds blood, then to the reverse is also true that blood also has the power to atone.
God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished -Romans 3:25

And he gave unto them commandments, that they should worship the Lord their God, and should offer the firstlings of their flocks, for an offering unto the Lord. And Adam was obedient unto the commandments of the Lord.
And after many days an angel of the Lord appeared unto Adam, saying: Why dost thou offer sacrifices unto the Lord? And Adam said unto him: I know not, save the Lord commanded me.
And then the angel spake, saying: This thing is a similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father, which is full of grace and truth.
Wherefore, thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore.

God has always abhored human sacrifice. This is one of the reasons why he ordered the Canaanites exterminated and issued the law that states "you shall not make your son or daughter pass through the fire..."
As for animal sacrifice, don't you know how many animals are butchered and processed every year for food? What's so evil about that?

"Hear O My people, and I will speak; O Israel, I will testify against you; I am God, your God,
I do not reprove you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
I shall take no young bull out of your house, nor male goats out of your folds.
For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is Mine.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine and all it contains.
Shall I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of male goats?
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High;
and call upon Me in the day of trouble, and I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." (Psalm 50:7-15)
"Sacrifice and meal offering Thou has not desired;
My ears hast Thou opened;
Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required.
Then said I "Behold I come; In the scroll of the Book it is written of Me; I delight to do Thy will O My God; Thy law is within My heart." (Psalm 40:6-8)
God never had any interest in the sacrifices of the Old Covenant for their own sake. They were intended to teach His people a lesson. The lesson is: forgiveness of sins requires the shedding of blood. This was intended to impress upon the people of Israel the weightiness of sin and its dire consequences. Indeed it came short of perfectly accomplishing this because the true cost of redemption was not the blood of bulls and goats, but the very blood of God himself in the person of Jesus Christ.
Thus Paul declares: "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of GOD, which He purchased WITH HIS OWN BLOOD," (Acts 20:28)
The fact is, redemption and salvation which are accomplished for us only through the shed blood of Christ is no mere ritual. It cost God infinite suffering and incomprehensible agony. Those who appreciate the offer of reconciliation and offer proper return will be saved.
Those who despise such an offer of grace don't stand the proverbial snowball's chance in hell.

recall satan de-tests man ,god is love satan is hate,
know satan was before the word was ,then when /as it was written he put his spin in ,
note the hate vile ,violence comes from satan ,who would have men believe a false judgmental god
read job see how satan roams following the light trying to subvert any all seeing god is the light
that evil is a veil over the light [gods light] that all human events are covered not only in the flesh that covers our inner light [spirit] but also covers that the light reveals
recall, mosus getting the law ,the building of the false idol even then
recall the perfect Eden even had satan in the disguise [veil ] of a snake
jesus revealed god of love then evil saw the veil of revelations over it that a bad end result [the ultimate deceit]
mass destruction proves satan won
that his view of man is correct
even within jesus simple words of love god love neighbor ,man yet seeks to destroy all creation in satans final betrayal
Satan final deceit ,of mass destruction
recall who's world this is
light will win ,evil is only the lie over sown the truth of the love ,light that sustains all life to live ,as well as the freewill to chose to obscure the light of reason truth and love
