Why Does God Need Spilled Blood And Burnt Flesh?
Response to comment [from other]: "From times of ancient History human religions have required either animal or human sacrifices for purposes of supernatural and spiritual activities. YHWH has been no different in that requirement, at first through Abel, Noah, Job, Abraham, Isaac, Moses in Egypt..."
Obedience is better
than sacrifice.
"1
Sam 15:22
to obey is better than sacrifice. This is an
essential OT truth. Samuel stated that God
desires heart obedience over the ritual
sacrifice of animals (cf.
Ps. 51:16,
17;
Is. 1:10–17).
The sacrificial system was never intended to
function in place of living an obedient
life, but was rather to be an expression of
it (cf.
Hos. 6:6;
Amos 5:21–27;
Mic. 6:6–8)."
