Would you rather it be humans sacrificed? God wouldnt sacrifice humans though anyways.
Jesus was a human.

Honestly I think He chose animals then because it was a main source of profit for the average person back that long ago. I could be wrong though. He ended the sacrifice of animals later rather than earlier because He wanted Jesus to come on His timing, also fufilling the prophecies in the old testament. It doesnt change God's characteristics at all as much as you want it to. Your missing the whole point-He still loves everyone. He did then, now and always will. People just dont want to see it that way because they are fine with their own comfortable lives with no relationship with their creator. Such a change is not compatible with the concept of a perfect being? So his descision to help humanity out further and give them more grace and easier forgiveness represents nothing to you? I told you, He always does things on His timing, not yours, not mine, not anyones. What you call a "change" is merely the end of a specific time where God wanted to get certain things done and set in man a certain mind-set. I can still be nice and then be even more nice than before and be considered nice, but in your mind you consider this "such a change" rendering me angry and hateful even though I made myself better and in turn also helped out others. But the whole nice thing is just an example.
Perfect beings should have no need for changing their wants. That's what you're not understanding. It doesn't matter how small the change is, or if he was "nice" before, but now he's even more "nice." That's still a change. If he's truly perfect, he should not change at all. If he does, he's not perfect. The logic is very clear.
