[QUOTE="parsley, post: 67212095, member: 291932"] Some people teach that God required the first sacrifice. But as shown in the Cain/Abel story, Abel offered it to God out of thoughtfulness, probably like we would make a nice meal for guests. God did not require it. There were other instances taught as God-required, which the Hebrew scriptures show as human-initiated. Genesis 31:54 Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his kinsmen to the meal *; and they ate the meal and spent the night on the mountain. Genesis 46:1 So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices (Their choice. Also Exodus 3:18, Exodus 5:3) There is also the concept of people making [URL="http://www.studylight.org/desk/interlinear.cgi?search_form_type=interlinear&q1=covenant&ot=bhs&nt=wh&s=1&t3=str_nas&ns=0"]covenants [/URL]with each other by splitting and passing between. Matthew 9:13 also 12:7 "But go and learn what this means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 12:33 AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL THE HEART AND WITH ALL THE UNDERSTANDING AND WITH ALL THE STRENGTH, AND TO LOVE ONE'S NEIGHBOR AS HIMSELF, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." Later within the Law of Moses, these offerings are shown as being meals for the priests and their families, and sometimes for the donor. If not vegetarian, the ceremony was an improvement from doing it on the farm, as the priests took great measures to make sure the process was clean and less painful. There was remorse involved, not just for sins but for the expense of a life of an animal that had lived on their farm. I know, that makes it sound worse. But picture people not having grocery stores and restaurants -- they had to commit a painful act if they were planning to eat meat. (Fish was a staple; meat was probably a luxury.) Acts 7:42 But God turned away and delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'IT WAS NOT TO ME THAT YOU OFFERED VICTIMS AND SACRIFICES FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS, WAS IT, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL? John 1:29, also 36 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Mark 14:12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?" Acts 8:32 Now the passage of Scripture which he (Messiah) was reading was this: "HE WAS LED AS A SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER; AND AS A LAMB BEFORE ITS SHEARER IS SILENT, SO HE DOES NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH. 1 Peter 1:19 Revelation 6:7, also Revelation 8:1 When the [B]Lamb [/B]broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come."
