That’s not the biblical view. The biblical view is that we all deserve hell. We’ve all committed cosmic treason against the thrice holy God.

You suppose that the manglers of the original autographa of the book of Genesis 3:9 had it right. That a special comma was never there... "Adam where are you"..which by God's nature and to harmonize really reads "Adam, where are you." Totally different interpretation. God neither shies away from sin or is disgusted that we have commited it. If you take the view that charlatan popes, fire and brimstone hucksters and you average biblical illiterate scholar takes then God is an angry, perpetually abusive Father, with a thirst for revenge and inflicting pain on us.

In reality it's we who pushed away from him, our own shame. No bridge need to be built with Christ, there was never a gulf. No scripture supports the view that we are across a great divide, a chasm only bridged by Christ. Christ never left us, God never separated. See Jesus agony on the cross, he was teaching us this with his "Father why have you forsaken me". Its human nature to feel abandoned, feel lonely, but sometimes that is not reality. We crave fellowship and feel out of sorts when we feel deprived of it. A loving Father never abandons his children, drops them off on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and expects them to find their way back.

Its our nature, our own pride to think we are so good, that only the other entity had it wrong, in this case God was the one who left. A treatise on the real scriptural reason Christ came is another debate and discussion. It was not to be our cosmic public defender against a real pissed off God.
