If the Father is God and Jesus is God, does that mean that God sacrificed himself to himself in order to appease himself. I find this to be confusing, I mean why didn't an all-knowing and omnipotent God create a different plan where his son didn't need to be brutally murdered. Why did God need a plan to redeem us in the first place? If he is all powerful then he should not need to devise a plan at all, He should simply wish for it to be and it would be, no plan or bloodshed required. I don't mean to sound like a doubting Thomas, these are just things I think about.
Why would God sacrifice himself to himself in order to persuade himself to change the laws and punishment that he himself had imposed since the foundation of the universe??? Food for thought. What are your thoughts on the subject? Vale.
