Wrongs/sins committed by A against B.

C is killed thus compensating for the sins/wrong committed against B.

How? I don't see the link.

I think I see the problem. Allow me to amend your equasion, maybe this will help.

A=Sinner
B=God
C=Christ.

All sins are commited against God. Therefore God sets the standard in which attonement/compensation must be satasified. God's standard (Righteousness) Demands a Death/Blood shed for any sin. why? Because He says so. (That is the only explaination given.)

Can I say then that the answer to the original question is "because god said so and we don't know his reasons"?
