that statement is correct...God the Father required a lot more than the death of a man for the redemption of mankind...His Son, Jesus Christ, all man and ALL GOD was the only sacrifice acceptable...none other would do.

Wrong. Life itself cannot die.

The thing that conquered death wasn't the death of God, but of a sinless man whom death could not hold because the power of death is then broken.

Death is the penalty for sin. When the sinless man, Jesus, died, that power was broken.

Amazing...a brand new concept of redemption. Well, I guess when you are your own Pope, you can write encyclicals and everything....and the phrase what you bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven...applies now to you...I'm impressed!!!!
