The Trinity Explained

[DeistPaladin]

Jesus wasn't the penultimate sacrifice, he was the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus couldn't be sacrificed to Yahweh, because Jesus is Yahweh. That would be illogical. Jesus was God sacrificing himself for us. On our behalf. It wasn't humans doing the sacrifice this time, but God. Only 'not God' could sacrifice anything to God.

As DBP pointed out, this argument makes no sense whatsoever. Aside from that, there are a few more problems:

Jesus was the sacrifice that fulfilled the need for further animal sacrifices. The OT deals with such sacrifices as methods for atonement for sins and pleasing Yahweh. To take this method of divine appeasement seriously (setting aside the question as to how do gods benefit from blood on their alters again and why a human sacrifice is the ultimate sacrifice), this is like paying the entire balance on a credit card instead of the minimum payments. Correct?

If so, the same rules apply. Animal sacrifices were made TO Yahweh to atone for sins. These are like minimum payments to a credit card company. Along comes Jesus to be the ultimate sacrifice. He's like paying off the balance in full. So we (theoretically) benefit as our sins are forgive (the debt is paid off, as Christians often like to say in their analogies). So Jesus paid for our sins? Who did he pay? He didn't pay us, as you don't pay a debtor for their own debts. You pay the creditor, Yahweh. Just as you pay the credit card company to have our debts forgiven, Jesus was sacrificed TO Yahweh to pay for our sins.

Also, it wasn't Yahweh who drove in the nails and raised the cross.
