Sacrificing is not Moral or Constructive
1. Sacrifice is sin, not virtue. If a little bit of destroying can be rationalized for a supposed good, then any amount of destroying can be rationalized, and all sin follows. All sin is rationalized, and sacrifice is one of the rationalizations for it. Christ said sacrificing is not what God wants (Mat 9:13, 12:7).
2. The demons created a religion based on sacrifice as a rationalization for destructivity. For Paul to dredge up the demonic religion of sacrifice as the supposed theology of Christianity was a fraud.
3. A person doing his own sacrificing is morally the opposite of someone sacrificing someone else. What Christ did was virtue. What the murderers did was sin. Paul tried to portray the totality as virtue, as if there were no sin involved, and as if producing truth about sin were not the purpose of Christ's crucifixion.
4. Morality absolutely requires that there not be losers with the winners. Satan taught a gullible world that it's not possible—that there must always be losers with winners. Paul instituted that fraud as supposed Christianity by calling it "sacrifice."

Paul's fraudulent propaganda was used as a basis for contriving a theology of sacrifice being virtue. Christ was supposedly "sacrificed" on the cross, which was supposedly a virtue.
There are two very basic and obvious reasons why the theology of sacrifice is a fraud. First is because Christ directly said sacrifice is a corruption (Mat 9:13, 12:7). Secondly, the basic principles of morality are very clear on the subject. If a little bit of destructivity can be called virtue, then all sin is virtue. Morality requires that no destructivity be rationalized as having some noble purpose.
The main problem with such a virtue is the horrendous price that victims of injustice have to pay to be sacrificed for someone else's well-being. Sacrificing nonhuman resources is no more constructive.
Christ only said one thing about sacrificing. He said it is mercy God wants, not sacrifice (Mat 9:13, 12:7). The rest of the subject was concocted by Paul and theologians and given an opposite meaning by portraying sacrifice as virtue.
The Old Testament practice of sacrificing animals on an altar does not justify the concept. It was a primitive and demonic ritual that developed before God got religion under control and corrected the practice. God then said that it was not a proper way to worship (Isaiah 1:11)(Hosea 6:6)(Psalms 40:7, 50:8-15).
Sacrificing underwent drift. It started as a pagan ritual and then entered the Jewish religion. The reason why it entered the Jewish religion is because God's version of religion had to start with the existing conditions and gradually make improvements.
Genesis was written to demonstrate the evolution. It showed dramatic examples of people having no way of determining what morality is. One of the main purposes of the book of Genesis was to show that there was a need for a religion that teaches morality.
So the ritual of sacrifice evolved from a sin to please the demon gods into an act of repentance. It drifted from pleasing perverted gods to recognizing one's own faults. Notice that Abraham's purpose (before improved concepts evolved) was to please God, not to overcome his own sin.
Then, eventually, the whole ritual was supposed to be abandoned, because it had bad symbolism being originated for and by the demon gods. God did not need the blood and smoke.
So after the ritual of sacrificing had been abandoned, and Christ replaced it with moral theology, Paul not only dredged it back up as the supposed purpose of Christianity but reverted to it's original demonic interpretation of pleasing God through sin rather than the sinners showing repentance for their own sin. Paul placed God in the position of the demons indicating that he needed the sin because of his own perversions.

Offering blood is a paganistic corruption. The demon gods required murder as a test of loyalty, and then they would provide some protection or something. It's like the Mafia requiring extortion money.
When Christ referred to offering his blood, it was not payment to anyone. It was self-sacrifice for advancing truth. The same is true of martyrs or military soldiers. The Christian martyrs were not paying Nero to please him. The soldiers at the Battle of the Bulge were not paying Hitler to please him.
God is not a pervert like the demons who required murder as a test of loyalty.
Christ had to be martyred to prove the truth about sin, because corrupters claim sin is so trivial that nothing needs to be done about it. So Christ showed that innocent persons and moralists are being destroyed because of the characteristics of sin.
When society murders God for doing good deeds and teaching morality, then the nature of sin is demonstrated. It is a major problem that requires a major effort to overcome it.
It says Paul was not fixed with a flash of light. If he were, no religion would be needed. The fraud of his theology and his disgraceful communication standards demonstrate that he was not fixed by a flash of light.
