In what meaningful way way did the 'Lord' die ?
If he didn't have to die, then why all the stupid sacrifices ?
In what way is the universe fine tuned (as you claim) yet will only hold life (as we know it) for a fraction of it's existence. The universe has spent the vast majority of it's existence without life, and the same 'fine tuned' universe will kill us one day.. and go on to exist for a great deal longer. life will simply be a tiny blip.
He sacrificed His own life for the sins of others. He lived a completely righteous life but took on the sins of those that would believe in Him. The temple sacrifices were just a foreshadow of things to come in the Messiah Jesus.
The universe has approximately 30 or so constants that are fine-tuned to an unimaginable extent. I posted a lot about this in this thread so you may want to reference those previous discussions for the constants that are fine-tuned,... There is more information throughout this thread on it.
