sacrifice? of course yes!
even if you take it literally and god really missed his son for a couple of minutes only JESUS was human and endured the time like a human did. and even the pain jesus feeled was the pain of a human.
so the question would be: is it a sacrifice for you to let others torture your child as they wish for 48 minutes? i think no parents could live with that. and it that case its different. is it a sacrifice to let others torture your child as they wish for 48 minutes and apply the same pain like in several years of torture in that time.
omg. i couldnt do it.
Oh dear!
Child sacrifice was a blight on early humanity. That a Supreme Being would use it is mind-numbing.
How can a Father even produce a son without a Mother???
Jesus as a creature is motherless in his spirit sense and Jehovah as a Father is merely like Gepetto in carving his puppet out of some ethereal raw material!
What is a sacrifice if you don't PERMANENTLY give up something of value???
What did Jehovah PERMANENTLY give up?? Jehovah got Jesus back again, right? Jesus was exhalted, right? Jehovah's plan of salvation went according to schedule, right?
It is all so silly.
It is like a dotty old momma wringing her hands and whining: "I scrimped and saved to buy you those shoes..."
But, enough of all that.
Back to the question about TIME INTERVALS...
The smartest humans who ever lived have played with numbers, maths, years, correspondencies and eras vis a vis the scriptures for centuries and only embarassed themselves by doing so! Time, for an eternal being, is without any value whatsoever! For dying creatures, however, it is essential!
