Also, I don't think it's much of a sacrifice if after you die, you get to be a all-powerful superbeing.
Just saying...
How did you manage to become a christian on day one or even your first birthday. God did not sacrifice Himself to Himself. God the Son was sacrifced for us not to God the Father, you've been watching to many movies about gods outside of the Bible. Prove to me using scripture how God created man with flaws, the reason I ask for scriptures you yourself have said it's the only place to find things about God.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
