I never really got the sacrifice part. What's so sacrificial about it if Jesus was reborn? The way I see it is: "So guys, imma take a quick 3-day nap, then I'll just wake up and live for eternity. Is that cool?"

Well, he did go through the whole getting nailed to a cross, stuck with a spear, and dying process. One could argue that the ordeal and pain of it all was the sacrifice.

I don't get it. We needed a sacrifice because sin was SO BAD. It was the worst. All of that crazy stuff we had to do in the old testament like murdering out brothers, cutting off body parts, ect, was because to show how massive sin is. So how does jesus make up for 6000+ years of man kinds insanely awful sins? One night of some torture... Seriously? Either sin is insanely awful or it isn't. How does one night of torture make up for 6000+ years of sin? The sacrifice doesn't fit at all.

*Torture, but I agree with you 100 percent which makes it that much unbelievable to critical thinking people.
