God paying Himself back? Strange concept.

Not for anyone familiar with the concept of the Redemption.

It is the unmistakable teaching of Revelation that Christ offered to His heavenly Father His labours, sufferings, and death as an atonement for our sins.
Just as the merits of Christ's Passion bring about the redemption of the human race, so do Christ's merits "remit the temporal punishment due to sin that has been forgiven" (indulgences).

Well I'm not sure which Revelation verse you are referring to.

God the Father provided Christ's sacrifice for mankind.

Col 1:22 "But now He has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death..."
