Your question in post #4 was: So Jesus got himself crucified to redeem us from what?

My post was in reply to that question.

Jesus' sacrifice doesn't prove "original sin", since His death would be necessary to redeem us anyway (from the sins we ourselves committed.)

I hope that makes my point clearer.

Wiser heads than mine have grappled with the Mystery of the Atonement. I think Milton got close.
