Jesus restores that which the perpetrator took from the victim. He paid the price of Justice with His blood. He has every right to forgive the sinner. The greater sin is not forgiving them.
It was God's plan from the beginning to have Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the bible says that Jesus "was crucified from the foundations of the Earth," that is to say, God planned to crucify Jesus as atonement for sin before he even created human beings or God damned sin.
If God had not intended humans to sin from the beginning, why did he build into the Creation this "solution" for sin? Why create a solution for a problem you do not anticipate?
God knew that the moment he said "don't eat from that tree," the die was cast. The eating was inevitable. Eve was merely following the plan.
This then begs the question.
What kind of God would plan and execute the murder of his own son when there was absolutely no need to?
Only an insane God. Thats who.
The cornerstone of Christianity is human sacrifice, thus showing its immorality.

Only if you misinterpret the corruption of Christianity as being the Foundation of Christianity.
I see the story of Adam and Eve as metaphor/allegory as a beginning of an on-going explanation of why things are the way they are, one that intermittantly continues throughout the scriptures. God did not forgive the sin of Adam and Eve or Cain but imposed the penalty of sin upon them. Thus a teaching that there are consequences for sin. And there is also the theme that God redeems those who recognize and seek forgiveness for their sin.
The teaching continues throughout scripture in a repeating motif of creation, sin, judgment, redemption.
And what kind of God gives his son up for sacrifice? It is an amazing thing once you realize that God is the Son, and the Son is God, and the sacrifice a supreme sacrifice of God taking our sin upon himself so that we could seek forgiveness and would not be held accountable for our sins against God.
That does not suppose no consequence of sin, however, as all sin, intentional and unintentional, spoils a bit of God's perfect cration. And that is why sin is bad and why God is against it.
Adam and Eve's sin?
What sin?
Is wanting your eyes opened so that you can do as scriptures say and emulate God a sin?
Do you not wish to get closer to God?
If so, what is wrong with A & E doing just that?
As to your trying to profit from the murder of an innocent man.
Read your bible starting with this.
Ezekiel 18:20
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Your wickedness is on you. Not on Jesus. Repent of your self-centered thinking.
Psalm 49:7
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
