If you wanted to apply an allegorical meaning to the Asses and Lambs I suppose you would calling it an allegory. You really need to google "what is a parable in biblical literature" You are messing up the terminology and not making sense.

No need to google it. The Bible defines the words and phrases . Without parables the poetic tongue of God, Christ spoke not.

He was the perfect Lamb of God.. A perfect sacrafice and He came into this world in the body of a human.. He was way superior to a normal human like us.. He was and is God manifest in the flesh..

Why do you ask this?

John 19: KJV
30 "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

As long as you insist on calling Exodus 13:13 a parable, I just can't have a conversation with you. And 2 Cor 4:18 is not a prescription, "prescription" is not even a term used in hermeneutics that I am aware of. (sigh) ... I just can't. :confused:

Garee calls everything in scripture parable. He doesn't really use the word the same way the rest of us do - what he essentially means is that it all represents higher spiritual truth. That these things are types signifying something else. He is very keen on the spiritual sense & meaning of types/shadows/signs being the true reality.

((nitpicks))

"were" is an incorrect way of speaking about Christ. He lives forever, He is the Word of God, and He isn't done speaking. He isn't past tense; He is the I AM - eternally present.

John 16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Does the phrase, "human sacrifice" evoke a particular image in your mind? It does in mine, and the image has nothing in common with Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

I've refuted his misunderstanding of Jesus' words several times. He refuses to learn.

Agree she is using it in a pejorative manner to evoke a response.

The "humans" did not sacrifice Jesus.

A human sacrifice is also someone sacrificed by humans ....videtis?

No animal has the cognition to sacrifice a human to a god.

He sacrificed Himself and did so willingly as an act of Love.

Actually, He wasn't. The Romans who killed Him were not doing so as an offering to a god. They were executing a (perceived) criminal. The Jews who handed Him over to be killed considered Him worthy of death for claiming that He is God.

Neither understood God's plan in the process.

And? Still a human sacrifice. Unless Jesus didn't give his life to serve some spiritual purpose?

If a mother sacrifices herself in WW2 letting herself be captured so the kids can escape the Nazis, is her sacrifice also human sacrifice? You're being really asinine about this.
