Quote:yes, Jesus was God's sacrifice to us. how does this condone human sacrifice to God?
I swear you people do not read your Bibles. Jesus was the last sacrifice to God so humans would have to sacrifice no longer.
"For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham's descendants. For this reason, He had to be made like His brothers in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that He might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because He Himself suffered when he was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:16-18)
He was not sacrificing to people. It was for people. If not to god then to whom was Jesus making the sacrifice? Is there some other being threatening humanity and demanding sacrifices?
