Without the Shedding of Blood There is No Remission of Sin

First, Jesus' words have nothing to do with what you are implying. The verse is about the Law--which is the commandments written down by Moses--and clearly NOT the whole OT as you seem to think.

Most of the verses have nothing to do with God commanding anything. They clearly point out the ancient world was a very hard place. 

So all you have done is restate your question and I will simply restate my answer: it is IMPOSSIBLE for such a command to be given under the new covenant. The reason I don't give an answer is because an answer to an impossible question is meaningless.

see above

Your hypothetical is impossible, so an answer is just nonsense.

Steve, do you understand what a hypothetical question even is?
Because.. hypothetical questions are just that-- they're hypothetical.
The situation of --would you kill a baby if your god told you to-- does not need to align perfectly with reality (obviously) in order to have an answer at all, much less the fictional tales told in the bible. So your timey wimey flim flammy circles of deflection have zero bearing on the hypothetical question at hand.

You just don't want to answer, and you're doing so by insisting, for some outlandish reason, that hypothetical situations need to align perfectly with reality in order to have an answer at all! Which is just.. ridiculous. Just so you know, you're being ridiculous. Do you know what that means? I could ridicule you. But, I wont.

This whole you and Lek not being able to answer a simple hypothetical question (well I mean it's simple for me, I'd tell so and so god where to shove it!), is taking wayyyyy too much time and attention from the actual point I'm trying to impart upon you, and the subject of this thread. Blood sacrifice, as described in Old and New testament, and why it's even a requisite?

Your reasoning is off. If a hypothetical situation does not have to align with reality, then the answer would also not align with reality. Of what value would the question and the answer be? 
You have strayed far from the OP: atonement for sin to killing babies.
