Thank you for addressing my question. I am always trying to find a theological wedge to deal with the question of the necessity of Jesus's death, which seems necessary for humanity to be acceptable to God. Or if not that, necessary for humanity to desire a relationship with God. I guess because of our corruption, we would not know God (the Trinity) as a loving God otherwise. Rather, humanity's search for the divine becomes a striving for union that involves a futile moral quest which is self-incriminating as opposed to a relationship that involves love.
