Answer 1

It's not easy, with no foreskin anymore...

Answer 2

G-d does not demand blood for all sin. Read the Law if you really want the source.

Blood sacrifice covers all unintentional sins - which means you did something against G-d without full understanding. You may not have known at the time it was a sin, but you do now. So you ask for a sacrifice. Animals only cover these types of sins.

Intentional sins - those done with full knowledge - can only be forgiven through repentance.

Take David for example. When Nathan revealed his sin of adultery and murder did he grab the nearest ox and run down to the temple in order to be forgiven?

NO!

Instead David cried out to G-d, who heard him and forgave him.

G-d perfers repentance over blood sacrifice. It is written in both the Torah and throughout the Tanakh.

Paul misunderstood in his writings - showing that perhaps he was not the teacher he claimed to be. He said only blood could forgive sins so that Jesus was the only one who could forgive all. This unfortunately is not true. Jews always had a way to be forgiven - through repentance. This is not a new thing with Christianity. They went straight to G-d and their sins were wiped clean.

As I said, look at the law for help. Lev 17:11, so often quoted by Christians, only says why one shouldn't drink blood. Not that it is the only way for forgiveness of sins. There is a big difference here. Read Lev 3-4 to really understand blood sacrifice and what it's real uses were for.

Answer 3

God allowed the Jews of Biblical days to continue sacrificing grains and little critters just the same as other cultures, but human sacrifice was always forbidden to Jews.

With the destruction of the 2nd Temple in the year 70 C.E., sacrifices were replaced by prayer. We ask God for forgiveness (no intermediaries) *after* having made amends, receiving forgiveness from whomever we've harmed, and demonstrating that we will not sin again.

Answer 4

answer: G-d set the regulations - no Temple, no sacrifice. Jews do in basic terms what we did while the 1st Temple replaced into destroyed, make amends to those we've harmed and then ask forgiveness from G-d. Christianity is in line with Jesus being a human/deity sacrifice and that concept makes Jews certainly shudder as G-d states He abhors human sacrifice. The communion in Christian church homes is yet another ingredient that makes Jews shudder - even symbolic intake of the blood and flesh of a divine being/G-d is in basic terms too close to to the specific prohibition against ingesting blood. No, there is not any "new covenant" for Jews, G-d stated His covenant with Jews is eternal. Christians have a various covenant. The Christian concept of the Jewish Messiah isn't the comparable that G-d taught the Jews. The Jewish Messiah will under no circumstances be divine and could under no circumstances be worshiped. No divinity - no 2nd coming no 2nd coming - prophecies fulfilled in one existence prophecies fulfilled in one existence - international peace no international peace - no Jewish Messiah

Answer 5

the jewish god doesnt want blood and doesnt want sacrifices. it says in the bible, in the words of the prophets.... he just wants obedience.
the whole thing of sacrifices being there to atone for some original sin is christians trying to impose their belief systems on judaism.
judaism has evolved beyond blood and animal sacrifices, since by allowing the temple to be destroyed god has shown that the requirements have changed.

Answer 6

simply put... we don't need to.

OUR God actually wants to forgive us, so he choses to

OUR God doesn't require Blood. in fact the blood was never the point, it was a gesture.

to put it rather simply, we repent, ask god forgiveness, and he forgives.

is your God not powerful enough to forgive without hiding it with a bloodbath?

you assume that the rules of YOUR God apply to the rules of OUR God. you see, we came first, Judaism has been followin God for like 5000 years. christianity has existed less than 2000, and was an adaptation originally based on ours, and changed massively.

the Jewish God is the Jewish God. your modern adaptation of what your belief's misinteperetations of OUR God, does not change how OUR God works.

did you also know, that in Judaism and the old testament, there is no eternal hell, and no devil?
in Judaism, angels were never given free will like we were, and are ENTIRELY incapable of rebelling in such a way.
"The Satan" in the old testament, is not evil, and works for God.

edit: for example, do the rules of Islam's inteperetation of God and spirituality and the afterlife, apply to YOUR God? how about Bahai Faith? do THEY apply to your God? why would YOUR interperetation fo things, apply to OUR(jewish) God?

edit for below::
WHAT? passover has ABSOLUTELY, NOTHING, WHATSOEVER in ANY way shape or form, to do with repentance or sin or forgiveness in even the slightest possible Jewish inteperetation.

Yom Kippur is the holiday dealing with repentance, but its a matter of repenting, and being forgiven.

Answer 7

With prayer, repentance, sincere regret for our sins, and the resolve not to do them again. The same was true in Temple times- animal sacrafice was only one part.

Answer 8

Jews do not sin. Neither do muslims. Sin is a guilt trip used only by christians. Fear is a powerful motivator, telling people that they are evil.

Answer 9

Prayer. And no G-d does not demand blood, G-d is not a vampire.

Answer 10

They pray for forgiveness instead. Or for certain acts visit the Mikveh (ritual bath).

Answer 11

They pray to God for forgiveness.
