We could not possibly repay our debt to God for the sins we commit, so Jesus stepped in to pay it for us. We are absolved, and we are no longer under obligation.

The crucifixion means everything.

Great, really. Absolutely peachy. The one teeny tiny problem I have with that analogy.....the father and the neighbor are the same fucking person.
