So, an all powerful God, wanted to forgive mankind, and he couldn't just declare "I forgive you", instead he had to torture and murder his own son, to appease himself, so that mankind could be forgiven?
It appears you got that right. Personally I think the whole God becoming a Man and dying for our sins is crazy. But then I realize I am extremely limited in mental capacity and not the Rule Maker Whose ways are higher than ours.
