Indeed, Jesus 'immortal soul' or 'spirit' thingy would have been 'part of God' for the limited duration of the 'death' experience anyhow.
No one has come forward and claimed Jesus was tormented in Hell in any way have they ??
Did the flames lick His toes ?? Did the demons taunt Him ?? Did Beelzebub violate His anus with his enormous barbed penis ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
