Why not just poof the clothing into existance like everything else? For God, there was no need to Kill?No --- in the first act of bloodshed, God killed [probably] a lamb and made clothing for them.
And I've got more than 1200 times your post count --- so you have no idea what I've done here in the past.
I also happen to have a few more reps than you do --- and many of them have come from atheists and agnostics.
Get in the program --- the Bible says you're a "peculiar person" --- act like it.

Try an empty tomb instead.I toyed with the idea of joining some sect of Christianity however I just couldn't bring myself to join a group who's symbol is a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.
It's called typology --- something dying for sin, that something being a lamb, and ultimately ending up as Jesus, the Lamb of God, dying on the Cross for our sins.Why not just poof the clothing into existance like everything else? For God, there was no need to Kill?
Are you suggesting that from the very beginning that God has needs of blood sacrifices?It's called typology --- something dying for sin, that something being a lamb, and ultimately ending up as Jesus, the Lamb of God, dying on the Cross for our sins.
In the [ahem] few [cough] non-counting posts I've made --- who do these people know better --- me or you?Were they complimenting you on your counting? Sorry, AV, but I don't buy this, given that you wave your post count around like it means something, when all it really consists of is mostly counting integers.

They may not agree with, or like, or understand what I believe --- but at least they know where I stand.*
And again, who do they prefer to converse with --- you or me?
* I'll admit, there are some issues I won't touch, but that's because I don't feel comfortable going there.
All I care to discuss in this forum is the Creation, the Flood, and Jesus Christ.
Nope --- nothing died in the very beginning.Are you suggesting that from the very beginning that God has needs of blood sacrifices?
That's because you think blood made Him "happy".I think the belief of the God of the Jews needing blood to make Him happy is a hold over from the ancient middle-eastern War of God beliefs that was dominant in that area during those long-ago-time.
Hebrews 10:11 said:And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Instead, the Bible says he was "appeased" by the sprinkling of blood.Isaiah 1:11 said:To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
---Hebrews 11:6 said:But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
The Beatles aside --- try faith.All thats needed, really, is Love. Not Blood.
My countng posts are just as much a part of my post count as my non-counting posts.Well, without going into details on the issues, I have no idea who "they" are and what "they" are talking about - all I'm saying is, if you want to be a bit more credible, talk about your [ahem] few [achoo] non-counting posts rather than quoting your entire post count, perhaps? Boy who cried wolf and all that....

It's true that if you remove all the counting posts, all the repeat posts, all the posts I've made in parties I've been invited to, and miscellaneous and sundry other posts, you'll have only a handful.
But they're just as welcome to peruse those as they are any others.
Just out of curiosity, Cabal, what would go through your mind, if someone shows up, reads just a few of your over 2700 posts, then says something like, "I don't like your style"?
Do you mind, please, trying it now and see if it works?"Privacy statement in function, Searching has been disabled for this members's posts."
Without Love, faith is dead. Love gives faith life and vitality.The Beatles aside --- try faith.

Not "blood" --- "the Blood".But either way, Blood is not needed, unless of course one has a blood thirsty God.
Blood satisfied a need God is said to have had. If satisfying those blood needs does not bring a sense of happiness to the person demanding the blood, I don't know what will.That's because you think blood made Him "happy".
To be appeased does bring a sense of happiness.Instead, the Bible says he was "appeased" by the sprinkling of blood.
Thank you --- now can we be friends again --- for Christ's sake?It does indeed. That's the spirit!
Then use the word the Bible uses --- "propitiation".Blood satisfied a need God is said to have had. If satisfying those blood needs does not bring a sense of happiness to the person demanding the blood, I don't know what will.
To be appeased does bring a sense of happiness.
