Did God accept a sacrifice that was against His own law? I am seeking a biblical answer to the following objection:
&quot;Since God clearly prohibited human sacrifices in the Pentateuch, why would He choose to atone for the sins of humanity seemingly in the form of a human sacrifice?&quot;
Now granted it wasn't just a human sacrifice, but Jesus was also fully human so why did God the Father accept a human sacrifice even though it was against his law?
Examples from the Scriptures:
&quot;There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer&quot; Deuteronomy 18:10
&quot;You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.&quot; Leviticus 18:21
&quot;And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.&quot; 2 Kings 21:6
Jesus was not 'burnt'.

Jesus was not offered to Molech or any other god.

Jesus offered himself, voluntarily. He was not 'offered' by another.

The &quot;commandment of the Father is everlasting life&quot; (John 12:50) ergo, the sacrifice was not a contradiction of Deity in any way, as that sacrifice was the only possible way to fulfill that commandment.

The events in the garden of Gethsemane, and the involvement of the Father in those events, clearly demonstrate that the will of the Father was being fully satisfied by the course that Jesus took.

In the gospel (not in the law) the righteousness of God is revealed (Romans 1:17). The righteousness of God far exceeds the law that was delivered to men to keep. His righteousness is a justifying righteousness. And justification is through redemption (Romans 3:24). And redemption is through (and only through) the shedding of blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (Hebrews 9:22).

God's name was not profaned by this, nor his name dishonoured. Much to the contrary, in all of this, God is greatly glorified, and that for all eternity.
