Jesus on a number of occasions throuhout the Bible claims to be God. Therefore he is the God of the old testament. The Bible also states Jesus was resurrected. His was still a sacrafice as he died for the sin of men.
You cannot accept certain parts of the Bible and ignore the rest.
He did not die unless he stayed dead. He didn't according to the bible. So sacrifice it was not.
I don't accept any part of the bible except some historical value of how cruel, greedy and stupid people were in those days.
You're the one cherry picking. Have you read in there that God hates religion yet you are religious?
Isaiah 1:13-14 states, “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies…it is iniquity…Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.”
