There is a tradition of it in the bible, but it does not explain why, according to your mythology, an all-powerful being would resort to sending down his son to act as a scapegoat for the sins of humanity, rather than just erasing them in the first place.God already erased humanity and all life except those on the ark. It is an act of mercy and love that God sent his son to die for are sins not a scrapegoat.
Surely it's a failure on your god's part that he thought he needed to do those actions?
