It’s simple. He sacrificed himself to himself so we can avoid the punishment that he made up for breaking the rules he made up.
Comment on Don't let his sacrifice be for nothing

Nah that’s ok because Jesus is God anyway. But he’s also human and has suffered and died. Because he’s 100% God and 100% human at the same time. But is also son of God. And has existed forever, not created by God. Even though he’s not the same person as God. But actually is.

Basically Greek Platonism, messianic Judaism and Roman culture had a three way and the result has been running Western culture for the last 2000+ years.

If God can be contained in a human being and one can be a “polytheist monotheist”, what other nonsense won’t you believe? 😕

Next do the “Holy Ghost”

But the Holy Ghost is also God, who is Jesus, but is neither and all three.

Nobody cares about the Holy Ghost except when explaining Trinity.
“… and the Holy Ghost”
gives the same vibe as “… and Zoidberg”
