His son? You mean, his second persona. Out of a happy threesome.
You can stop right here and now. Since that is the real backbreaker, and that is the answer you never get. What sense does the sacrifice of an immortal god actually make? Because it isn't a sacrifice. It's just shedding a hull to spend three days in a tomb. God, the god cannot die by definition. Therefore, the sacrifice is moot.
Apart from the fact that god actually created the sin for which his persona pulled his stunt.
