Dear Julie:
Thank you for writing.
We understand the reasons you feel the way you do, because the true message of the Bible and the way Christianity and Judaism is practices is in direct opposition. We say that the Christianity of the Bible has been hijacked.
In understanding the Bible, we need to separate the creation and heavenly intent of God from the fallen ways of the world around us. Jesus tried to bring us back to that way of living, when He told us to pray for God's heavenly will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, but most people have rejected His teachings of peaceful living for the benefit of the whole of creation. Please take a look at: Living in the Will Rather than the Concessions of God http://www.all-creatures.org/discuss/living.html
Animal sacrifice is not a part of God's will, but a concession to limit the people's depravity in the hopes of bringing them wholeheartedly back to Him.
We hope this helps, and we look forward to hearing back from you.
In the Love of the Lord,
Frank and Mary
