ok, ty. I would argue not myself

You connected the term blood thirsty and God and now have backed off this. If you raise an idea, why not fill it out, or is this just to provoke a response?

The Word became flesh [John 1:14] and we are to eat that Flesh [John 6:53]! Then when we eat of it and within us it is quickened by the Holy Spirit [II Cor 3:6] it builds/nourishes the 'new man' of us, if we have one. So what does it take for us to become like Him?

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." I John 3:2

What does it take for us to become like Jesus?
Faith, repentance, walking as Jesus walked, obedience, cleansing and confession, listening to the Holy Spirit in our hearts, worship, praise, abiding in Gods word in our hearts. Peter put it like this

2 Peter 1:5-10
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall

So establishing our foundation in Jesus and then walking with Him is us becoming like Him, as God changes us, and gives us the growth.

We dint worship Him because of what He's done, but because of Who He is.
Why do you call Me good? No one is good but Yah

Look I totally understand, OK? That makes you a pagan, not that I’m judging or anything, it just does, but we all start there and you are perfectly OK finishing there as far as I’m concerned if you like. But you might go find the two Greeks who sought a meeting with Jesus through Philip to worship Him and He hid from them

My other posts kind of discussed this already, sorry, I understand if you didn’t catch them. Basically we are the ones that believe we need a blood sacrifice? But Yah has not changed since Who told you that you were naked? I guess, I desire mercy, not sacrifice

John 4:23-24. "But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him"

and maybe we should all check out that Jesus Cult book huh. Hard to believe theres only one. Anyway im already not in love with the intro, very un-naive imo, but dont mean he dont have a point i guess.
yes, you are prolly a mithraist, thats what christianity means now.

google "mithraism and..." looking for "Christianity" and you wont even have to finish typing for chrissakes. Yah still loves you ok, there is no judgement for beliefs :)

Maybe we should check out that "man" cult book.

Look at me,
I am god
I have the power over life and death
I have no need of God because I am
I have control of my own future,
I can save myself
I am intelligent and can think for myself,
I think therefore I am
I am creative
I am smart
I can do anything I put my mind to
I am a man

Se all the "I's in there, but God said nope, one man, so none of you can boast, not one,

Se God doesnt send people to hell, they have chosen that place for themselves, He gave us all the choice, I offer before you life and death, choose life.. can HE help it men are pig headed and stubborn and would rather die than live, just out of pure arrogance.

The last photo many parents see of there kids is that shot of them falling off a cliff taking a selfie. "look at me im falling" Self its evident, thats why apple gets away with all there BS, I pad, I phone I pod, Its all self,

yes, ty. i bet we'll find that the two are the same, essentially.
The desire for immortality is pervasive and overwhelming huh?
Well if you want to die, please go right ahead, no skin off my nose.

Death is complete and utter separation from God, you think this life sucks..

so, not denying this k, but there is another Scripture No son of man may die for another's sins that you kinda should contemplate along with that maybe
how to make the two agree

no son of man may die for another’s sins.
not saying it is right but only “contemplate along with that maybe how to make the two agree.” Of a life giving “quickening” Spirit John 10:15-18 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. [16] And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. [17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

What does “I have the power to lay it down” mean?
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 6:51 ...the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Matthew 10:38-39 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [39] He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Romans 5:6-8 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

um, do you think what you believe will change the future, mjr?
What I know will not change mine it is in Christ, all men die, that is the future for all those that dont believe. Like I said if thats what you want, go right ahead. There will be no tears cried, im am sure God has shed enough for man.

kind of artfully skirting the q seems like, mjr
and i think what you know might do just that
