The Law WAS perfect in that it revealed to man his inability to be reconciled to God because of his (man's) sin. This was the Law's primary function. Keeping the Law never "saved" ANYONE it merely pointed man toward Christ the perfect sacrifice who can. The New Testament did not erase the Old, it fulfilled it.
So, an all powerful God, wanted to forgive mankind, and he couldn't just declare "I forgive you", instead he had to torture and murder his own son, to appease himself, so that mankind could be forgiven?
Or, perhaps, the NT story was a creative story justifying the end of Animal Sacrificed, like the story of Abraham and Isaac justified the end to child sacrifice. Each of these stories constituted a huge reduction in costs to their potential member, and would of made each very competitive in it's day.
