death as a consequence of crucifixion

Jesus died as man because God could not die- Jesus is the physical manifestion of the invisible God. The reason Jesus died is to save you from spending eternity in hell.

Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. (Hebrews 9:24)

Thats nonsense – Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable

If Jesus had not died we would have no way to pay for our sins. The Bible is very clear
the soul who sins must die.(Ezekiel 18:20) The punishment for sin against God is death. With Jesus’s sacrifice we have Jesus dying in our place, taking the punishment that we deserve. Jesus’s death on the cross shows us that forgiveness is not cheap and easy. It shows us how seriously God takes our sin. That sin is so disgusting and horrible to God that he must punish it. It is not enough for God to say “Oh well, it’s all good.” When we can look around us and see the atrocities that man commits against man. No! Every human life is precious, every moment of human suffering is an affront to God and it all stems from human rebellion and sin. But at the same time God loves us and does not want to destroy us. God’s mercy wants to pardon us but it is not that simple.

You say “Why not forgive everyone and be done with it.” Let me ask you this. What would you think about a judge who simply pardoned everyone brought before him. Rape? No big deal! Theft? It’s all good. Serial killer? What does it matter! Let’s just forgive him and be done with it. Such a judge would be a perversion of justice. Or put in a different way… what if there was a sadist who loved to torture people, and God forgave him, should God let this man into heaven? What would he do, once cheaply and easily forgiven? We can assume he would go on torturing people, ambivalent to God’s cheap & meaningless blanket forgiveness. Justice demands that the guilty be punished and not allowed to go on harming others.

Through Jesus’s death, God’s eternal immutable characteristics of Justice and merciful love remain intact and in balance.

By sending Christ, God’s justice is satisfied, in that sin has been severely punished, and God’s merciful love for us is satisfied, in that we have been spared destruction and eternal separation from him.
