G-d is merciful and constantly anticipates that those who want to return to Him will repent and correct their ways. When they do, G-d forgives them for their sins and does not punish them for the past.

G-d is merciful and constantly anticipates that those who want to return to Him will repent and correct their ways. When they do, G-d forgives them for their sins and does not punish them for the past. No denying that God is merciful. If He wasn't we would all die in our sins and be condemned to an eternity separated from Him. But God is also JUST and all holy. He demands atonement for sin. What do you think He meant in Leviticus (the third book of Moses) about blood making atonement? Why did he require it? Do you just ignore that part?
