The OT is a witness to the NT and the message it brings, the disciples used the OT to show the truth of Christ to those they witnessed to and taught. Jesus himself referred to the OT on many occasions.
And lest someone forget, being sacrificed for the sin of mankind is no easy feat.
I can't get my head around why god would sacrifice himself to himself to rectify the sin of mankind, when he could just change the rules on sin or forgive everyone. Or maybe forgive some and punish the others depending on sin severity.
Why sacrifice a life at all?
Why did all old god cults involve killing something to please whatever god? It's all shite. All of it.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
