Okay since this seems to be an open thread I'll ask the following: Has it occured to you that...

G-d would never have an affair with a human woman? Take a mans wife. Have a hybrid god-man child out of wedlock. Take this hybrid child and offer him as a human sacrifice after expressly telling humans he hates human sacrifice.

Mislead humanity for nearly 2000 years by telling them to follow the Torah, telling humanity He is alone, besides him there is NO other, no other saviour....then say...Hey! just proving a point there! You cant do the Torah! And I am really NOT alone! Beside me is my Son, a hybrid god-man! And if you dont believe in him....you're going to hell!

Interesting perspective.

G-d would never have an affair with a human woman?

Could he impregnate a virgin through the power of the Holy Spirit?

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Take a mans wife.

Actually, Joseph decided to take her for his wife AFTER it was found out she was with child during their betrothal. He could have put her away.

Have a hybrid god-man child out of wedlock.

Actually, Mary and Joseph were married when the Messiah was born. As far as Jesus being fully human and fully divine you will have to deal with it or ignore it (for now).

Take this hybrid child and offer him as a human sacrifice

Actually, God did not offer Jesus as a sacrifice, sinful humanity did. Of course it was in God’s heart to allow the Messiah to die for our sins, otherwise all men would perish.
Jesus freely offered His life.

John 10:17-18 (New International Version)
17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

after expressly telling humans he hates human sacrifice.

Yes. He does. But His love is such that He would sacrifice Himself rather than allow others to die without a chance. Even as many of our brave troops willingly lay down their lives for their friends in times of war...willingly sacrificing themselves so that others may live.

Mislead humanity for nearly 2000 years by telling them to follow the Torah, telling humanity He is alone, besides him there is NO other, no other saviour....then say...Hey! just proving a point there! You cant do the Torah! And I am really NOT alone! Beside me is my Son, a hybrid god-man!

There are Hebrew words for absolute unity and compound unity. God is “One,” just not in the way many think, one person or individual. Humanity’s understanding was so corrupted in the garden through Adam and Eve’s disobedience that God had to establish a beachhead in order to invade the fallen race with redemption. Consider how much difficulty He had delivering Israel from Egypt. The problem was not getting them physically out of Egypt, but in getting Egypt (and bondage) out of the Hebrew heart. It’s all in the Torah. In a similar way to the Allies landing on the continent on D-Day, where Germans were killed as fast as they could be, for the purpose of establishing a foothold, God placed his hand on Abraham to separate a people for Himself. Since D-Day the rules have changed and Allies are no longer killing Germans, as Jews are no longer killing man, woman, and child of the cities they would occupy. Abraham is the father of not just one, but multiple nations.

Genesis 17:4 (New International Version)
4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

His relationship with God also extends to the Gentiles:

Genesis 18:18 (New International Version)
18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.

And if you don’t believe in him....you’re going to hell!

You have an issue with God allowing people to suffer the consequences of their own decisions? That’s not a very Jewish perspective (if you are Jewish).

I hope you are aware that the Pentateuch is in the Catholic Bible.

These things (leaving aside a deliberately comical reference to them) are indeed miraculous acts of sovereign God, but by what logic are they something Sovereign God would "never" do?
