Read Leviticus sometime, and you'll see the facts are clear, at that time in ANCIENT Judaism, based around the Tabernacle or Temple, "according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission." (NT book of Hebrews 9:22) Biblical-era Judaism and the Torah was centered around the sacrifices; I'm saying that was a good thing--I'm not libeling Judaism at all.

My god you are thick. I have told you time and time again -- citing sources -- that blood sacrifices in ancient Judaism atoned only for unintentional sins. I have asked you to point me to a single JEWISH source that says differently. Apparently unable to find any, you instead point to a CHRISTIAN source. Guess what: the book of Hebrews isn't a Jewish source. It's a Christian source that is trying to justify the myth that blood sacrifice somehow atoned for all sins. Judaism does not, and never did require or even allow blood sacrifice as a method for atoning for intentional sins.

You are correct-

Hashem (G-D) provides three way of obtaining forgiveness. Sacrifice (many types of), Prayer and Charity. Nowhere does it say that Human sacrifice is permited (Jesus). The blood sacrifice for the remission of sins in the NT book of Hebrews is a misunderstanding of the Tanach. The prohibition of eating blood is what the Tanach is saying. The man from Nazareth is not an animal and therefore can not be sacrificed.
