yoou're positing that the eternally linving element and the human element are posited for the same purpose. His sacrifice wasn't his death, his sacrifice was his coming and his suffering.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
