So God destroyed the Nations of Caanan because of its practise of child sacrifice to Molech
Human sacrifices to the many gods was ancient custom among many cultures
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice
Instead God accepted the animal sacrifices as a foreshadowing of the perfect and complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ who offered Himself one time for all time for our Sanctity
Hebrews 10:10-14
Now the shedding of blood is not wanted any more instead we are expected to sacrifice our animalistic tendencies
We have grown up now More mentally mature Our understanding is unfolding
We only have to follow His Message to the best of our abilities and maybe once in a while remember Him which is the purpose of the Eucharist
Anyway this is a matter of faith for each and every one and many people do confess there is Power in His Name
Now dont confuse Christ with the corruption of the church
These troubled times you will have to trust your own heart and if you believe there is help at hand

Me i dont delve on sin guilt and repentance nor Pauls momentary lapse of sanity
I recognise the truths in the teachings and the authority of the words of God
I see the scheme of the world envisioned by the Prophets
And most of all i love what is good and gentle
