Now as to the specific torments inflicted upon Jesus, scripture is mute, but earning 144,000 souls in a period of some number of hours, I think it is very clear, Jesus had a rough ride indeed.
So, the topic raises an interesting point, I'd concede it's possible Jesus was in fact tormented for 144,001 souls, and that last one being his own.
I don't think this conflicts with Inerrant Scripture at all, 144,000 'other' souls, presumably the cream of the crop of his fervent believers were still purchased.
Now, there is another issue, Jesus noted the 2 thieves crucified with him were in fact, Saved.
This is somewhat puzzling, as at that point, Jesus had not completed his 'transaction' with Satan yet, and therefore was technically committing fraud. And of course, that is a sin.
Jesus said so.
How does the exchange rate work in that scenario?
