So then God does not accept bloodless sacrifices right??

"So then God does not accept bloodless sacrifices right??"

I've answered this twice, didn't you read my mosts 3625 or 3722 or are you making this personal about a certain's poster's views?

Has anyone here ever gotten the feeling that someone was trying to set him/her up?

I believe your question was answered above. I don’t believe that I personally have to respond every time my chain is yanked.

I'm not sure I follow the reasoning here. Where in Scripture does it say that God rejected Cain's sacrifice because it was bloodless? God may reject a bloodless sacrifice, but possibly accept another.

It intrigues me that in the Eucharistic Prayer of Cranmer (who was, I think, more Calvinist that anything else in his thought) there is language along these lines:

"And here we offer and present unto Thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice ..."

Of course, the word "bloodless" does not appear, but I guess I always thought it was implied. ("reasonable" here means "able to reason".)

Is the notion that every offering be bloody a part of some theologies? Just asking. No hidden agenda.
