Im sorry, but I still can't see why Jesus's dying will remove the sins of thoses who believe in him.
And I still can't also see that why petesmith u think that sacrificing goats will make God happy
then again, I don't have that much knowledge of the bible, so it may well contain the logic, I m just commenting on what has been laid down here.

As A.O.D pointed out, if there was no cross and Jesus had never lived, then we Christians would have no bases for our faith!
It is important to note that while 'Christinaity' only came about after Jesus died, worship of God, in whom Chrsitians worship, has existed since the beginning of time. The Bible starts with the words "In the beginning God....'.

To answer your question about why sacrificing animals is pleasing to God, I have to be honest and say I dont fully know. To attempt an answer I would say the reason God gave us his moral law (which included the regulations for sacrificing animals) and the 10 commandments is to reveal the extent of our sinfulness. In the Bible, it is discribed that the life of the animal is in the blood. Sin can only be attoned for by a life sacrific. Since animals are not perfect and have defects, it was only a temporary attonment. When Jesus came and lived a perfect and sinless life, He could offer himself as a sacrific for all of our sins past present and future.
He was the only one who could pay the price for our sins. He choose to give up his life for us. We need to receive his free gift of eternal life.

Hope this helps A.O.D.

I will give some more depth to these answers in the future.

Jesus's existance is one of the most verified facts of Histroy for that era. There are I beleive over 5000 different accounts of various aspects of His existance (These being non Christian writers etc). The Bible in fact is used by secular historians to study Roman history and other things from that period of History.

The Bible gives us a very accurate description of the Human condition. No other religious writtings even attempts to describe the reasons for the human condition (Sin, good and evil etc). The Bible is also one of the few books giving a solution to mans sinfulness.

ummm, lol something else u'd like to add apart from pure opinions?

so, let me get this straight, literally no matter how much sin a person does, if he believes in Jesus than it won't matter?
Petesmith, what you said about the bible applies to a lot of other religious books too.

about the sacrificing animals etc, it only sounds old fashioned and ridiculous when u say that 'God will be happy' or something. Actually,the sacrifice is a show of our love and devotion towards God perhaps.

nyway, I think I'll try to read the passages in the bible about Jesus saving us myself, because it seems Im missing the spiritual aspect to this.

i meant that the people who MADE the christian religion or spraked it off set it up (written down) Morals... more than other religions around that time n place.. so thats why it spread becasue we have and like love morals.. so thats why it grew as it did and is so strong today (and i am not a christian.. well acuatlly i am in the sense that my family is christian but we dont follow that crap) and yes that was my opinion so id like you to refute it with an opposing opinion (with reasoning as i did).. i could be absolutley wrong but id liek you to back yourself up aswell to show me that...

If you have found some 'Christians' who do not believe in the God that is dipicted in the Bible then I am afraid to say that it would not be very accurate to call them Christians.

Christians are people who believe that Jesus is the son of God (part of the Trinity) and that He paid the price for our sins on the cross. Anyone who does not believe this is not a Christian.

A Christian by definition is one who follows Christ.

Sorry to be quite blunt but it is the truth!
