I was not saying that it was and was not a sacrifice, what I meant Jesus willingly gave himself as a sacrifice for the salvation of man. This was not something Christ had to do it was something he accepted (being a sacrifice) to save the people he created. Hope this clears things up.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
