OK. So you say that "he gave" actually means "he let die", so why not just say that? But he did not stay dead, right? So I guess "gave" really means "died for just for a while". Whatever... but the next question is how the hell does that imply that it "took our sin"? How would that work? And how would any of that imply that some random belief results in our sole getting saved? Makes no sense. What is a sole anyhow?
