You shouldn't limit God and say that substitutionary atonement was the only way he could have saved us from hell. He's God! He could have saved us any way he wanted.

Who is truly to blame for sin and the condition of reality itself? Who created all of this knowing what would happen? Shouldn't God take the responsibility for all of this upon His shoulders? Or does an omniscient Creator who created all of this knowing what would happen get off Scott-free and condemn us for being sinful... when we didn't ask to be born in this fallen sinful creation?
Truly... who should carry the cross for all of this? God or man? What would be real justice?
I see a God willing to take on flesh and take responsibility for all of this on His own shoulders and suffer for mankind's sin... because after all... He willingly created all of this knowing the end from the beginning.
