7 [22] Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness: in fact, ancient
Israel did envisage other means of obtaining forgiveness; the Old Testament
mentions contrition of heart (Psalm 51:17), fasting (Joel 2:12), and almsgiving
(Sirach 3:29). The author is limiting his horizon to the sacrificial cult,
which did always involve the shedding of blood for its expiatory and unitive
value.

I'm not really in favor of getting my religious teaching from a web
site, but suppose for rhetorical purposes we took the above to be
true.

What prevents God from changing it?
