I believe Christ is at once God and man. And I believe that it was necessary for Christ to die in His divinity in order to redeem us from our sins.

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.
