To whom shell? I speak only for myself. "God demanded sacrifices"? Did you speak with God? If you are saying God asks for our faith and trust in "Him", I agree. I don't consider that a sacrifice, I consider it doing what is right.
Minimalist: yes it was a one time deal. God exists outside of time, and so do we if we choose. The sacrifice is good both retro- and prospectively of 33 AD. The sacrifice is eternal. How was it a waste of time?
