The fireman does not enter the burning building under the assumption that his losing his life in the fire will save the child, whereas the guilty person knows an innocent will be punished in their place when they agree to it.
Come on, be honest and admit that the price of Christian salvation is moral bankruptcy.
???....can you see the error in your reasoning?.......you've made a mismash of the roles in the two stories.....instead of seeing us as the child in the burning building you're trying to turn us into the fire that killed the fireman......we didn't "agree" to anything before Jesus went to the cross, just as the child did not agree to go into a burning building and wait for a fireman to come along......
