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.

Isaiah 43:11-12
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no
saviour.
I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

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?

As I said, human psychology is not fully understood. How someone could be both God and human is a metaphysical question for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever.

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

Which is completely illogical. You have made my point for me quite eloquently.

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.

Exactly. Here we agree. Christ is solely a matter of faith. The nature of rationality is to seek to resolve discrepancies if possible. There are plausible theories that seek to explain the apparent contradictions. But, we cannot know with certainty in many cases.
