I think, like i said correct me if any part of this is wrong. I have read the bible in a while.
But what was the point? Couldn't God have just said "Hey, you humans can ask for forgiveness now, and you don't have to burn any helpless animals anymore, okay? I changed the rules."

And is Jesus supposed to have a free will separate from God's? I thought he was God...in any case, if he's omniscient, he can't possibly change his mind about whether he wants to be sacrificed or not since he already knows what the big eternal divine plan is.
