He supposedly offered imperfect animals, but it's an analogy of how the hunter/gatherer stage of civilization practiced human/animal sacrifice in the past. Wine as blood and bread as flesh of a god is sacrifice-by-proxy as is the sacrifice by God of his son to the literalist who needs such analogy. To understand and raise above the ritual would do away with its need. Some need signs, signals, and commandments (the 99), and some don't.
