I only know of one God. He is the God of all men and women.He came to this earth in the form of a Jewish man. Jewish tradition demanded the shedding of blood in sacrificial worship. The animal sacrificed had to be pure, with no blemishes, nor having ever mated. The animal had to be of great value to the owner, otherwise, the sacrifice meant nothing.
The last time that God demanded a blood sacrifice was at Calvary, when His Son, Jesus Christ died on a cross for all the sin of mankind. This was the ultimate sacrifice. God gave His Son, in sacrifice for the sin of mankind, for all time.
Prior the the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, a sacrifice was needed to atone for ones sins. Now we are under a new covenant and sacrifices are not necessary. Jesus was the sacrifice. Now we must confess our sins to God, in prayer and He is just, and will forgive our sin.
