If you think about it makes more sense that God would die for our sins not a son he created.

BTW, MM, I don't know if you are a reader or studier, but here is a very good book I found entertaining and educational concerning what one man thinks is God's view of economics. (Capitalism vs. Socialism)

If this is too much of a hassle, I also have it on my hard drive in MS Word Format and can email it to you, if you so desire.
Here is a short excerpt from the book:
A sound heart is the life of the flesh:
But envy the rottenness of the bones.
(Proverbs 14:30, KJV)
Envy destroys the man who commits it. He does not work for the future and the glory of God. He cannot fulfill the purpose for which he was created. His frustration increases: he can't enjoy what he has, for he is eaten up by what others have or — when he turns the envy in upon himself — by what others do not have. We should take the verse literally to some extent: envy has very serious physical consequences. Because man is a whole person, God's curse on sin affects the whole man. You can quite literally be eaten up by envy.

More than this, envy is a rot on the foundations of society. If the cultural ethic is the destruction of anyone who owns something which others don't own, the result is chaos. And if you are fearful of your neighbors' envy, you won't produce. Success and productivity become dangerous, and the whole culture declines. A civilization dominated by envy has rottenness in its bones: it is doomed to extinction.


"Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able

to stand before envy?" (Proverbs 27:4)
The kind of cultural rot that sets in is terrifying, as described in Edward C. Banfield's The Moral Basis of a Brukward Society. George Gilder is right: "Rather than wealth causing poverty, it is far more true to say that what causes poverty is the widespread belief that wealth does. "
