Or b)The Devil. Most probably the child would say “The Devil of course!!”. Who would want the Devil to get away without punishment? Who would want the Son of God punished?This shows you don't understand the purpose of the crucifixion.
Revelation 20:10 tells how the devil will be punished:
Quote:The devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Jesus died to pay for our sins so that we could be forgiven. In order to do this he needed to be sinless, because if he had any sins of his own his death would be required to pay for them and wouldn't do anything for our sins.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
