Yeshua is our atonement and salvation because God makes it so.

That's all you got? God is pleased with the sacrifice of one man and that is sufficient to repair all of the wrong that has taken place? How does one man's death satisfy the need for justice?

The beauty of the orthodox Christian position is that God loves us so much that He Himself takes on the punishment due to our sins. By sacrificing Himself He can bridge the unbridgeable gap caused by our sin.

I don't see how one man dying is supposed to do that.
