without jesus we would really need to sacrifice something? are religions actually satanistic?

Question

whats the point of killing someone so you can be clean and holy? are religions cruel and violent? sacrifising someone for your sins sounds like if they are worshipping satan.

Answer 1

we didn't kill to sacrifice...

We sacrifice by taking time to care for other people.

Answer 2

God points out that the killing of animals did not release people from sin. The OT sacrifices were only reminders that the Messiah/Christ could free us from the wrath of His justice against man's disobedience to Him.

Heb 9:11-14

11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
NIV

Heb 10:1-7
For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, 'Here I am — it is written about me in the scroll —
NIV

Heb 9:22
22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood , and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
NIV

Answer 3

Technically the word sacrifice means "To make sacred". It's just that somewhere along the line - to make something sacred meant taking its life. So now we equate sacrifice to killing things.

Also - sacrifice has nothing to do with Satanism. I know a good number of Satanists (both LaVeyan and Theistic) and none of them would perform a sacrifice. So your question is illogical. Unless you're talking about the "Christian" and Hollywood version of Satanism - in which case - sure, equate Christianity with Satanism. :) Without them Satanism wouldn't exist, after all.

Answer 4

This whole Jesus died for your sins idea came to be because Paul was getting no where fast getting converts in Tarsus.

The people there were mostly Mithra's followers. The believed that blood sacrifices washed away sins.

Paul blended this idea into his ever changing version of Christianity. Only he supercharged it with the blood of Jesus (son of God) washes away the sins of the world. Prior to this it had no part in christian teachings. Jesus never said anything about it. It worked like a charm. Paul had a deluge of converts because He gave them something that they could relate to.

This success was not overlooked by Constantine and his gang. They were trying to maneuver them selves into the control seat of the christian faith. They adopted Paul's version of Christianity and the idea of God/Jesus dying for your sins. It was very effective because of the guilt it induced. They also took another hint from Paul's book of tricks and came up with a very similar version of Paul's conversion for Constantine. He too had a vision where the christian Figure head came to him and converted him.

The rest is history. After the council of nicea all competing scripture was ordered destroyed and all true versions of the teachings of Jesus were labeled heresy.

All we were left with was the nonsense called the bible.

Answer 5

whilst the 1st Temple exchange into destroyed by utilizing the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the Israelites have been exiled to Babylon the place they replaced sacrifices with prayer till their eventual return to Israel. we at the instant are in our 2nd exile after the destruction of the 2nd Temple interior the 365 days 70 CE (on the comparable time Christian writings have been purely commencing as much as seem). on the grounds that Christian writings have been purely commencing as much as seem, does not it make experience that they chosen to end sacrifice with their god, Jesus as a results of fact the only suitable sacrifice? They agreed to end all those different pesky rules that they got here across to be a nuisance on the comparable time. not greater circumcision. not greater conserving the Sabbath holy. Christianity might desire to no longer have grown had they required circumcision for the Romans. The Roman adult adult males idolized their bodies and paraded bare for the duration of the streets. Circumcison??? i do no longer think of so!!!! .
