Doesn't being a christian mean that you worship human sacrifice?
I mean, if Jesus had to be tortured and killed so God would forgive us of our sins, doesn't that mean god wanted/needed a human sacrifice?
I don't understand what was noble about Jesus getting stapled to a tree... it seems absolutely insane and horrendous to me. Wouldn't a benevolent being require something other than torture and death in order to forgive?!?

Human sacrifice is what Christianity is all about. You don't get it, and probably never will.

God is not under necessity in the Creation or the Redemption, that is an axiom of all theology. SO you are wrong there.
Human sacrifice was a major reason the Canaanites were exterminated. SO you are wrong there too.
GOd is not separate from Jesus !!!! At least stick by the Christian Faith if you are going to ridicule it. You are picturing God wrangling with Jesus ! No, sorry. All decisions ad extra of the Trinity are in utter unity. Another axiom.
Finally though Scotus and Aquinas (who represent the two major Catholic schools of thought on Jesus and the Atonement) differ, they absolutely agree on one thing, that the slightest act of Jesus, a sigh even, would have sufficed for the salvation of all the world.
So you are stupidly uninformed.

his deah on the cross paid the pentlity for sin and ussered in a new covenant we a no longer under the law written on stone,read the will that we have inhearited in this new covenant hebrews that we live under today,animal sacrifices only covered sin (atonement) his blood was such value it took away all sin from the eyes of god forever,and we are to enter the sabath rest,any one teaching jesus atoned for sin is putting his blood same as bulls and goats ,this is not truth,hope this helps!

"The wages of sin is DEATH- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." You have to remember, it should be us that are tortured but instead Jesus Himself came down to die in our place. It was not the nails that kept Him on the Cross, it was love for you and me. I do not worship a dead King by the way, HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your 2nd mistake grow to be "Your god created a..." God did not "create a", yet got here down from Heaven on His very own with a view to be a Sacrifice so as that we would see the blunders of our techniques. He knew from the commencing up that it would come all the way down to this. He felt discomfort of loss of life as we would experience the discomfort and desolation of loss of life. He shared in it, as all who're born in this realm adventure it.

Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.

Jesus was being punished for our sins so we could be pure and blameless in God's sight.
