I like the interpretation that Jesus sacrificed himself to free humanity from the existence of God but in classic fashion humanity interpreted it in the opposite, status quo wins again.
gnostic gang
There's another theory that it was part of Jesus as the 'Jewish Messiah as foretold' but also the new 'Messiah of all mankind' that Jesus' death symbolized God creating an aspect of itself to die in a blood sacrifice to himself as a way for God to synthesize the entire thing and do away with original sin, the blood sacrifice, the exclusivity of the Covenant with Abraham and the "mistake" of burdening his beloved creation - which was in his image - with original sin. It was God's way of saying "I'm sorry, bro" to all mankind by living as a human and dying by human hands.
Or that's something I dreamed up when I started smoking weed while casting off the last of a pretty devout but liberation theology kind of Catholicism. But I swear that's a thing I've read elsewhere. But it could be weed thoughts. It could be where the whole "Jesus is wholly God as God wholly God, different but the same" etc from the trinity in Catholic school of thought from uhhh Council of Nicea days I believe. It's been a while since I plumbed these depths.
What movie is this
