Explain to me the math behind redemption

[Zarith]

I think you mean "if they sacrificed themselves for me," and no, according to the doctrine of sin, you couldn't.

This is basic Christian doctrine. By that I do not mean to commend it to you as true. I mean rather to say that some simple research into Christian doctrine would probably answer your question better than what I have to offer.

I'm only repeating/summarizing what many, many Christians have said to me over the years. Don't blame me if they can't get their story straight!
