      This interpretation leaves out the most important part of the crucifixion story: Jesus willingly took on the world’s sins out of love. So whether or not most Christians would say yes depends on if the one person being tortured has a choice in the matter, which is unspecified in the question.

      I came to say the same thing. This is exactly what Christianity believes.

      But of course, it was Jesus who gave himself willingly.

      If he was forced to do that, it would’ve been reprehensible because he was the only truly innocent person who ever lived.
