Then why did God want the Jews to sacrifice animals if He was so against slaughtering them? :)
TLDR bold:
Because it was suppose to be very unpleasant to do so, like fishing a catfish from a river and watching it bleed only to learn this its not right, that it is immoral - fulfilling the laws of jesus that a fish should not be k1lled if that fish bleeds.
if it applies to fish it would more greatly apply to other animals or humans.
it was eye for an eye for evil or teaching the innocent that sinning meant the harming of nature and animals to atone for it - for their(human) sake not the animals or nature. and thats not something to romanticize yes?
It was also punishment for sin but it was also pleasant to experience (the fumes). The only way to resolve that conflict would be to ethically raise animals and use biblical pairings of those altar processes to make them good to eat or burn.
So if an animal lives a long ethical life and you want to eat it? NP. but dont slaughter house k1ll it to eat it and dont sin. it was a lesson to the true children of god only.
maybe from your perspective it would be like god saying " hey if you want to do something so wrong then go ahead and k1ll an animal since you love to sin so much..." it was holding sins accountable and escalating the immorality of the situation to prevent it furthermore.
i dont think most people grasp the severity of that issue because their comprehension of god is akin to TV and Budweiser and omitting the beer for lent so they can watch the sermon about it on TV.
It's like a girl kissing you, it happens when it's time :P
