Wouldn't he go right back to Heaven anyway? What's the point in that?

Adam, a perfect man, was created by God, but with no prospect of ever having to die.
Death entered the 'equation' when Adam sinned [ disobeyed]. He had been warned that to ' eat of the tree' wqould result in their death. It did, eventually. Adam and Eve went on to have other children and did eventually die.
We have inherited death and everyone since then has died.
Jesus ,also as a perfect man, died as a ransom sacrifice to buy back for us the right to again live without death. This will happen when wickedness is removed from the earth..at Armageddon.

Redemption needed a perfect sacrifice, They used animals in the OT. But they had to do that once a year, Now since Jesus came It is once and for All, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, to die once & for all whereby we don't need a sacrifice every year.

No natural born human could become the last sacrifice for sin. So God became man through a virgin birth to die in our place to take our penalty for our sins. God did this because he unconditionally loves each of us.

That was the point. Only He could go right back to Heaven anyway. His death made the way for us to go back with Him. Without that we would have to answer for our own imperfections that kept us separated from God.
That was actually a very good question.

If i owe $100 and the debt is waived, it is forgiven. If i owe $100 and someone comes along and pays it on my behalf then the debt is paid.
If Jesus was brutally tortured and murdered to pay for my sins, the debt is paid. If my debt is paid, then God doesn't actually forgive anything.

Yeah! So what's the big deal about Him "giving his only-begotten son"?? He dies, he goes back to Dad. He knew he was the son of God, what was the big deal?? "Only-begotten"??? Who exactly begat Jesus? If he was God's only-begotten son, it's only because He only WANTED one son! He's God. I can't see how this was such a huge sacrifice for God or Jesus either one.
(Sorry, that really didn't answer your question, I just needed to sound off on that one, thanks.)

the only remission for sin in blood, he got the idea from back when he sasked a man to kill his son as an offering, then stopped him and provided a ram stuck in a bush,this whole plan was made up in the garden when eve ate the forbidden fruit

But he didn't die read this from the holy Qur'an
"They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but another was made to resemble him to them. And indeed those who differ about it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge about it except assumptions. And they did not kill him for certain. Rather God raised him up to Himself (Alive). And God is ever All-Mighty and All-Wise." (Qur'an 4:157)

I don't know. If G-d required a human sacrifice to clear us of sins, He would've taken that into account and done it when Adam and Eve were around.

If God would kill his own son, just think what he would do to someone who's not related to him.
