Why did God require a sacrifice of Himself to Himself?

Thats still nonsense.

How can his 'coming' be a sacrifice if hes supposed omnipresent anyway:

Quote:7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, bYou are there.
9 If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand will alead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
12 Even the adarkness is not dark to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.
Ps. 139:7-12

And how can an infinite being of with an eternally perfect nature be said to suffer? Doesn't suffering contradict the 'god' construct?
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything
