No, you didn't. However, you keep using a term that describes human effort to appease an angry god. I added the word, "merely" because the truth is that the death of Jesus on the cross was God's plan and it was not in any way a "human sacrifice" with the motivation of that practiced by the Aztecs and other groups.

If parables are not the signified tongue of God. . . the poetic language of faith . Then what is it as it is written? The literal tongue? And then no need to hide anything. Simply walk by sight and pretend the kingdom of God comes by observation?
Not today
. I would rather mix faith in with the temporal things seen and heard .In that way I can rest in the (gospel) His finished labor of love. Hebrew 4)-

That's funny; there's another grammatically incorrect sentence. If you wrote, "I think the issue is that my sentence was incomplete," it would be correct.
The bolded version is closer to being grammatically correct, but that is not what you wrote. Even then, "your focus on" would be better.

Here are your words from post #89: "Are you suggesting Jesus did not intend to be arrested and executed? "
Yes, I explained that Jesus was killed by the Romans after being handed over by the Jews. I did not say or imply anything about Jesus' intentions in that post. Your question was a non sequitur.
"Your" is possessive, and it makes the sentence incomplete. Although you may have been meaning "the focusing that I was doing" making the possessive sense valid, you still would have to add more words to make a complete thought. "You're" would be correct, given the other words you actually wrote. It's just that simple.
Many people are either ignorant or confused about the distinction; you are the first person I have encountered who has argued about it. Once you understand that the words don't mean the same thing at all, you likely will not make the same mistake.
