I don't think so. If he's really "God", if he's 'all-powerful' and 'all-loving', then why does he need to incarnate himself as a human and get himself tortured by 'sinners' in order to forgive their sins by putting those sins onto him? Why can't he do that without getting himself tortured? How crudely barbaric a method of forgiving sins, for a so called benevolent God IMO.
