How does Jesus' crucifixion count as a valid sin sacrifice when:
1.) Humans are not on the list of approved "clean" animals used for such sacrifices (Leviticus 4);
2.) Jesus was not "unblemished" (Lev. 22:22), as is required for such a sacrifice (he was whipped, beaten, and circumcised);
3.) No offering of his blood was made on an altar and his body was not burned (as is also required); and
4.) neither the Roman soldiers nor Jesus himself was a Levitical priest -- the only ones qualified to make such an offering (Exo. 29:9, 40:13-15)?
