To the contrary:
There is a significant difference between "not ... because" and "not ... as if".
(not-A-as-if-B) implies that both A and B are false.

However, the bishop used the conjunction weil, which means "because", not "as if".
So the sentence should be:
Christ "did not die for the sins of the people because God had needed a … [Más]
