God does not need anything! What I should have said was, “If it's not necessary for us to be reconciled to God,” or “If God did not desire to reconcile us to Himself.”

I just have a point of clarification. Did you really mean to say, “If God does not need to be reconciled to us, then the cross is solely about Jesus demonstrating loving self-sacrifice to show God's love for us and to teach us how to live in relation to others” (my emphasis).
Did you mean, “if we don't need to be reconciled to God…”? I have a problem with God needing this reconciliation. I'm guessing you didn't mean it that way… it does fit our infinity discussion though, doesn't it?

It's probably a stupid question, but I have no sense of shame, so here it is. Why is it called the “passion”?

Amy, you didn't quote this part, but I think it's relevant to point #5:
“But one of the things [John Dominic Crossan and Marcus Borg] point out is that Mel Gibson
