Is that a scripture, or did God just tell you that? Where does it say that our Redeemer must be God? I thought He only needed sinless blood.

There is a whole lot the Bible tells us about Christ. Plain words, types, figures, prophecies, symbols, stories, etc. Has not God given us enough in His word? Why do you consider the Christ "impossible to explain?" Why not just devote your efforts to what we already have?

This is strictly your opinion. Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. Things have not changed since He left planet earth.

Yes, a mystery which can only be received by faith. I Cor. says, "
The wisdom of this world has been made foolish by God, and a soulish man can not receive the things of the Spirit of God, they are foolishness to him." I understand that this is difficult to reconcile, yet it is true. If I have to choose between the words of the Bible and your reasonings, I think I'll go with the former.
