What do you believe the sacrifice of Christ was for? What was "accomplished?" Did Jesus decide this was just an apt time to recite the fist Scripture that came to mind, or was the passage in Psalms prophetic of something? (Of course you know it was.)

To use this as an excuse for what evil people do takes away from who Christ is.

Well, it causes them to effectively lie about the Lord. If you catch someone doing that, please tell him to stop.

"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." - Jesus, in Mark 11

"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. -- Jesus, Matthew 6

Methinks you are pondering the imponderable, since you are not Christ and the Father is not expecting perfection from you. Forgiveness of mass murderers is only possible for the Father, as turning the other cheek becomes total insanity. Even Joshua fought the battle of Jerico and the walls came tumbling down. Saddam is Evil, you are not required to love or forgive evil. I cannot.

Christ teaching on the Cross made the Old Testment part of the New.

Note you left out ICorinthians 2:8

I do not dispute what the Word says, what it does not say is that repentence is not required.
