No? Really now...? You're certain about that, are ou?? I mean, by the Torah, at least, G-d is the One, the Creator of Everything, and we are his children, just as you said... But, well, He is also a vengeful and jealous G-d, and so -- He requires blood sacrifices on occasion, to appease His wrath...

I mean, there's something to be said for the idea of a Perfect Being being sacrificed, for us all, that we might never need to sacrifice animals or people again....!

	That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why in the Valar's name would Eru Ilúvatar , the Creator, want a sacrifice? There is a prophecy that Ilúvatar will enter Eä to save His Children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Sorry, but, what IS Eä? Because -- if it's Earth, well... I think we're on the same page, now...! I mean, there was a prophet, and a prophecy, which set the terms for G-d coming down to Earth as a Man, a perfect man, in fact, to Save us from our own sinfulness - with a blood sacrifice... His OWN Glorious Blood, indeed! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eä, the World that Is, distinguished from the World that is Not. Eru spoke the word Eä, and the universe came into Being. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah...! I see! Then we are at long last on the same page, aren't we...? (Reply to this) (Parent)
