If you deny the relevance of the OT, you are actually saying that Yahweh is not your god. If you are saying that Yahweh IS the same god, then you imply that Yahweh had a plan, and knew he was going to screw up and change his mind many, many times, and wipe out humanity because he screwed up, then rewrite the whole mess by requiring himself to sacrifice himself to himself to cover up his monumental screwups. If Yahweh had a plan, then he should have perfected it instead of screwing up so much that he'd have to try to cover up his mess with . . . his own blood, because he loves blood and needs to take lives, just like the old bronze age war demon that he actually is. What you're saying is that Jesus was sent to re-write the whole message . . . the war demon needed a spin master. He was too nasty.
And now we also know that there was no "first human couple", no Adam, no Eve. No Garden of Eden, and no apple. No original sin. So, no need for a blood sacrifice. I guess your old bronze age war demon wanted one anyway, huh?
Sorry mate but that's quite a blunderbuss of assorted points you've fired at me and I just don't have time to answer the whole caboodle all at once in depth.
My own debating style is to deal with just one point at a time with carefully- aimed sniper fire before moving onto the next..
For example you said "Jesus is supposed to be Yahweh"; I dunno where you heard that, as Jesus said plenty of times that he wasn't God, e.g-
"I am going to the Father, for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28 )
Ah, so you just throw out all of the Old Testament except for the occasional verse that you like, and you actually worship your imaginary friend and Star Wars. Well, that's cute.
I don't care what you call your Deity, or what attributes you think it possesses. Provide verifiable proof of your claims. Otherwise, your claims are utterly irrelevant to anyone but yourself.
