The implication of what you are saying is that an omnipotent god cannot make truthful statements about what he will or will not do.

No it isn't.

It is more accurate to say that God WILL NOT forgive sin apart from bloodshed rather than that he CANNOT if we are simply dealing with the divine attribute of omnipotence.

Thats it. God didn't have to do it. Jesus didn't have to die for anything.
