The sacrifices were given to the high priest. Yeshua is our high priest today, we are the temple, and he is the sin sacrifice.

Never claimed subjective=objective, I called for contextualism at best
Yet even Augustine admitted that the truth was adjusted in some ways with those stories. Sacrificing animals is not regarded as pleasing to God today, but it was then. Therefore in that instance, the truth did not change, but at the same time it did in practice at least, if not in principle.
Well to declare that you would have to show how I'm being inconsistent.
Thats where an Ancient Near East understanding comes into play.
Actually cross is never mentioned in the scriptures. Its an execution stake, and they were crucified on trees. Yeshua was hung on a tree. That is cross referenced with the Torah too.
If skepticism was absolutely wrong, you wouldn't say that sometimes skepticism is okay, therefore you appear to have contradicted yourself
The scriptures never mention the crucifixion?
He wasn't "hung on a tree". He was crucified. Which literally means "Fixed to a cross".
The sacrifices were given to the high priest. Yeshua is our high priest today, we are the temple, and he is the sin sacrifice.
In other words, God changes the rules whenever it feels like we've gotten too set in our ways? This is another reason I'd have little reason to believe in anything but a very distant creator, since your creator seems overinvolved and smothering of any creativity that doesn't glorify it.Not to mention the obvious ego issues and general difficulties of anthropomorphizing concepts like justice and goodness and perfection
Nope, Leviticus 17:11 still applies.
How is that an ego issue? Being nailed to an execution stake, are you serious? You're applying a human standard to God's standard of righteousness.
Leviticus 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.
In short, blood sacrifice is still condoned by God in the 21st century?
They contradict each other many many times.Please. There is no evidence that they are wrong anyways. There is not enough time between the documents for mythology to creep into their writings.
You don't consider 30 years enough time for mythology to creep in? Up until they were written down it was all word of mouth. We all know how well people keep their stories straight.
Not at all. When you cannot keep the most simple things straight it brings the whole story into credibility.Easily reconciled.
Like the story of Judas.
Which speaks of a man being hung and not crucified.Talmud,
Who basically did nothing but repeat what christians told him.Josephus
Sweet, show me Jesus's signature.Yup. Moreso even.
On the refutation of Zeitgeist:

And here too - copycat
copycat
Right.They contradict each other many many times.

Not for that time period. It would have quickly been corrected. Plus, I believe in a Hebrewic primacy, which means that the 30 years you are stating would close in way sooner than that, since that is a Greek primacist argument.
Right.Not at all. When you cannot keep the most simple things straight it brings the whole story into credibility.
Like the story of Judas.
The gospel.

Hung on the stake. You are applying Western Understanding to 1st century Jerusalem.
Who basically did nothing but repeat what christians told him.
Really?
Sweet, show me Jesus's signature.
2nd hand sources were taken more credible during the time period than 1st hand. Socrates is also a good example of this. We have more demonstration, also the evidence from the early church fathers. There is way more evidence for the existence of Yeshua than George Washington. Not to mention, like if Yeshua had signed something you would believe in him either way.
Thanks for showing your understanding of Ancient Near East culture.
If Jesus' sacrifice was the blood sacrifice, you just contradicted yourself in saying blood sacrifice is accepted by God according to the verse you quoted
That doesn't contradict the verse in question.
