So the other parts of G-d's word don't apply?
Who makes that decision?
Here they are again for you to see (emphasis mine) -
Numbers 31-50 says -
"We therefore wish to bring an offering for the Lord. Any man who found a gold article, be it an anklet, a bracelet, a ring, an earring, or a body ornament, to atone for our souls before the Lord."
And Exodus 30:15 says -
"The rich shall give no more, and the poor shall give no less than half a shekel, with which to give the offering to the Lord, to atone for your souls."
Obviously there is no mention of blood required to atone.
If I'm not mistaken, there is a difference in the Hebrew words used for atonement and forgiveness.
I'm not "in fight mode", I'm just pointing out things from the Hebrew bible and am responding very carefully to your comments. What brings you to believe I am trying to "fight"?
Why can't you reply in kind to my examples of atonement that do not require blood?
