Bible says the will of God is "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice", and receiving the promise comes after doing the will of God. Bible also says God "sent" his Son, but notably not till the fulfness of the time for the law part of the law/grace shew had expired, and not to condemn(law) the world.
So JC plays God in the flesh, etc; For the Bible also says God is "excepted"(exempt) from the shew purposed to shew who is the blessed and only Potentate in his (plural) times as Jesus (Son of man & Son of God, but of high God) and Christ (Son of God, but of higher God). For Jesus, who is high priest of divided God on high in plural and divided heavens, brought division and not peace; Whereas Christ brought peace and not division as Son of God in "heaven"("higher than the heavens").
Not to mention it's all "allegory" and "mystery" to solve; and every good mystery has lots of twists to it.

Thank you, I want to confir with some people first before answering you, since I want to make sure what I tell is correct.
Would you please quote Book, Chapter, and Verse for your quote "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice." I want to find it and look to see what the context of it is. I checked two or three different versions and do not see it at all.

Why do you not trust God ? He gave you everything that you need ; 2nd Timothy 3:16-17 . It's all wrote down in the Bible . Ask Him to help you understand , because He will make it clear in time . Study the Word and constantly seek answers . Ask and it will be given to you , seek and you will find , knock and it will be opened to you .Luke 11:9 . Also you should have faith and believe . Mark 11:22-26 . God bless you in your quest

You need a lot of Study. not much of what you say is Biblical Jesus is the Anointed Son of God Lord & Savior, Not God God is the Heavenly Father of Jesus and all Gods Children.

How can JC be God in the Flesh if the Bible clearly states and you just wrote down; "Bible also says God "sent" his Son"?
If he sent his son...means he sent someone else besides himself
get it?

God planned all of this, to make us realize that He can give up His Son's life for us, to make us contemplate that He can let His Son suffer and die for our sake, just to show how much He loves us.
This is also a way for God to demonstrate that He is so foolish enough about us -- that's how much He loves us.

First of all Jesus Christ name isn't JC.You don't understand about Jesus and his father. Jesus came on earth to do the will of his father. Two different individuals. If you read the scriptures he said he came on earth to do the will of his father. Also when he was baptized his father said that was his son whom he approved.His father didn't kill him the soldiers killed him.

Jesus died on the cross...
... to communicate a message of solidarity with our suffering and pain.
...to make reconciliation possible between us and God.
...to make the point that sin is indeed a big deal.
...and that sin is something that destroys relationship between God and humans...
Cordially,
John

You must be part of those who are condemned with the world by God.
God's Word says, "The wisdom of God is Foolishness to the world" ,(it is only foolish to those condemned with the world).

Jesus was the lamb of God, i.e. a sacrifice.
