Jesus is the only way.
A lot of people think I'm crazy for this view, but the original mission of Jesus was to END CHILD SACRIFICE. John 3:16 is all about it! Put an end to any religion that thinks God wants dead kids, and to seal it forever, God sacrificed his OWN CHILD (... To himself?) to negate the precieved need for any other human henceforth thinking this is still needed.
(of course then I get to wonder if child sacrifice used to be legit until Jesus came?)
I think limiting His mission to one thing or another is extremely near-sighted. Jesus' mission was all things. To break us free from the bondage of sin and end it once and for all.
I wouldn't say the mission is limited to only one thing, but it is true that Christianity uniquely appealed-to and made-sense-to pagan religions of sacrifice. In those religions, the gods/priests are always making demands that the people must fulfill. Whereas in Christianity, the demand is considered fulfilled already. Also, in Christianity, the sacrifices of the people are considered "not good enough" and this is why God had to provide his own sacrifice. So not only should the people not offer a sacrifice, but they are unable to. Instead God asks them to "sacrifice" by doing good deeds for their fellow man and by having a contrite heart before God.
It's honestly so brilliant, it's godlike, and even atheists would have to admit the brilliance.
I mean. Jesus can't just demand they stop doing it. He has to set the stage and rewrite the script. He has to steer right into the torpedo and hit it before it arms.

This actually makes me wonder about the 3 days in hell aspect....
