This is what muslims do, they ask: "Where does Jesus say "I am God, worship me"? So, because He didn't say it, in those exact words, they think Jesus isn't God. So, you would have to deny the deity of Jesus if you were to be consistent with your argument, because He never said: "I am God, worship me" in those exact words. I know you don't, you are just beeing obnoxious. You think the Word has to speak as you want it to speak? -You don't get to tell the Word how to speak, and what words to use.
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
-He kills guilty sinners in His righteousness. He doesn't shed innocent blood.

AMEN - Now read this and seek to understand:
“There is none righteous, no, not one;
11There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
12They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one.”
13“Their throat is an open tomb;
With their tongues they have practiced deceit”;
“The poison of asps is under their lips”;
14“Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17And the way of peace they have not known.”
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Genesis ch6
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Matt ch24
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

45. Sacrificial Procedures – Maaseh ha-Korbanos
a) Animal and Bird Sacrifices
Only cattle, sheep, goats, pigeons and doves can be offered as sacrifices. There are seven kinds of sacrifices:a 1) The burnt-offering [as it says “If his sacrifice is a burnt-offering…”1]. Such offerings can be brought voluntarily by Jews or non-Jews; they are also required in conjunction with certain sin-offerings. The community offers two daily, and additional ones on sabbaths, new moons and festivals. It is forbidden for anyone to eat them, as it says “You must not eat… the vows that you make”.2,b 2) The sin-offering [as it says “This is the law of the sin-offering…”].3 Such offerings are required when a person (or the community) has sinned through error; they must also be brought by nazirites and by persons purified from leprosy or running issues. The community offers them on new moons and festivals. Those brought by the community or the high priest (on account of a sin) or on Yom Kippur must be burned and it is forbidden for anyone to eat them, as it says “And any sin-offering part of whose blood is brought into the tent of meeting to atone in the holy place must not be eaten; it must be burnt in the fire”.3 The others (except for the parts offered on the altar) must be eaten by priests in the Temple, as it says “All their sacrifices… are holy of holies to you and to your sons”4 [and it says “And you shall eat it in a holy place”5,c]. 3) The guilt-offering [as it says “And this is the law of the guilt-offering…”6]; this is always a ram. Such offerings are required when an individual has committed certain specific sins or is not sure whether he has sinned or is purified from leprosy. They too must be eaten by priests in the Temple.d 4) The peace-offering [as it says “And this is the law of the peace-offering sacrifice…”7]; this cannot be a bird. Such an offering can be brought voluntarily by any Jew (if it is accompanied by bread it is called a peace-offering) and must be brought by a nazirite. The community brings two such in conjunction with the bread-offering on Shavuos. The community peace-offerings must be eaten by priests in the Temple. Those of individuals may be eaten by any Jew, except for the chest and right hind leg (and in the case of a nazirite’s offering, also the right foreleg), which must be eaten by priests or their families, as it says “Everything raised up from the sacred things that the children of Israel raise up to Ha-Shem I have given to you and to your sons and daughters”.8 They must all be eaten in Jerusalem, as it says “You shall eat [them] in a clean place”.9,e 5) The Passover sacrifice 10 (a male lamb or kid); it is eaten by those participating in it. 6) The firstborn11 (male; of cattle, sheep, or goats); it is eaten by priests or their families. 7) The tithe12 (of cattle, sheep, or goats); it may be eaten by anyone. (All these too must be eaten in Jerusalem.)f Just before an animal sacrifice (other than Passover, firstborn or tithe) is slaughtered the owner should press his hands on its head and recite a confession. After slaughter the blood is caught in a sacred vessel and sprinkled or poured on the altar and parts of the fat are then burned on the altar. An animal burnt- or peace-offering (and the leper’s offerings) must be accompanied by a flour-offering and a libation of wine on the altar.g The neck of a bird sacrifice is cut at the altar; in the case of a sin-offering it must not be severed completely, as it says “And he shall cut off its head from the back of its neck but shall not separate [it]”.13,h
The priests are commanded to eat their portions of the sacrifices, as it says “And they shall eat them by which they are atoned”14 — the priests eat and the offerors receive atonement. It is forbidden for a non-priest to eat these portions, as it says “And an outsider shall not eat, for they are holy”.14 It is forbidden to eat any part of a sacrifice before its blood has been put on the altar, as it says “You must not eat… your offerings in your gates”15 — that is, before their blood has been put at the gate of G-d’s place (i.e., the altar). Similarly, it is forbidden to eat from the sacrifices outside the Temple or outside Jerusalem if they are required to be eaten inside. It is forbidden to eat any of the parts of sacrifices that are to be burned on the altar, as it says “It shall be consumed, it shall not be eaten”.

This is the animal sacrificial system that was practiced by ancient Israel in their temple, under the old covenant, as prescribed by Moses.
Daniel, you really should stop blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

No blood offering, of beast or bird, or man, can take away sin, for how can the conscience be purged from sin by the shedding of innocent blood? Nay, it will increase the condemnation.
