Human sacrifice was a norm before it switched to animals. The story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac was all about it. Then it was animals and doves in the church. Now it's a monetary tithe in its place in the orthodox. Still 'sacrifice' of material things not self.
Christ (God) offered Himself as a sacrifice and instantiated the eucharist where material things (wine and bread) are transubstantiated into His body and blood via the Holy Spirit. The living God is being sacrificed every Sunday.
The ritual fails to convey the actual message, that's why it was stopped.
It was never stopped. It continues to be practiced practically unchanged for 2000 years.
Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Using Christ's words to contradict His Church's practices, which He personally instantiated and later sent the Holy Spirit to guide the Church and the apostles is ignorant.

Disproof:
First men, then animals, then God/Jesus, then doves, now tithes and 'the eucharist'.

Mistaking man's constantly changing interpretation for God's WORD (truth) is what leads to error.
You probably don't realize how each book of the old testament is testament to the failure of the time's religion to come to ultimate truth and so was doomed to CHANGE.
Ignorant. One of us understands what the other is saying. One does not and ignores.
Read the source of what you believe you believe and find the error.

We still have a long way to go.
Sacrificing material is a hell of a lot better than sacrificing life. Besides, how else do you think the priest is going to afford his CLK55
That's correct. Doves are 20 bucks, two for 50, now move along.
Wrong, that's what the jews do.

One is 'real', one is imitation of the same act.
It's the temptor/self that is to be sacrificed.

Truths can't be disproven. And only Truth is eternally unchangeable.
Christ is what is left after the sacrifice is made.
And you have no lock on quotes or interpretation, know that.
Good luck on your reading.
