not breaking any new ground there . . . .
He had to live the perfect life to be the perfect sacrifice, without living that life He could not have been the perfect sacrifice. Some things just have to be done in real time and this is one of those things. Jesus was vulnerable to temptation but He never gave into it, thus a sinless life.

A sacrifice is when you lose something and never get it back. Nobody survives rigor mortis so the death myth is bullshit in any case. But if you use the word "sacrifice" as part of a story, it still does not fit the definition if one also at the same time says Jesus is not dead and will come back.
No, if you want a real sacrifice, those would be the soldiers of D-Day. They died, they did not seek fame or attention, and they did not come home.
The way the Jesus myth reads, is more like a PR stunt, a magic act, not a sacrifice.
The worst part of that story is that it is still an act of torture. The soldiers who landed on the beach and died, died quickly at least.
