Then why was he crucified instead of having his neck slit on an alter, like every other biblical sacrifice?
If someone crucified or beat a sacrifice it would be considered invalid from a biblical standpoint

I've been told that the word "Holocaust" is a Greek word meaning "burnt offering." This is a grisly thing to say, but perhaps the aroma from burnt bodies was a more acceptable sacrifice than Jesus was. Many Jews call it HaShoah instead -- the catastrophe.
On 2nd thought, a HUMAN sacrifice Has NEVER been an acceptable sacrifice!

The spilling of innocent blood was the essential element necessary for the forgiveness of sins.
All the sacrifices of old served to pre-figure, but not replicate, the sacrifice of Christ.

Crucifixion carries just that little extra literary punch.

Jesus died to pay for our sins. If he hadn't done that we wouldn't get the opportunity to go to heaven.
Back then Crucifixion was considered to be death by torture.

Jesus sacrificed himself to himself to please himself, so that he could forgive us of what he declares wrong. What is one more silly thing on top of all that?
