I’ve just never seen it so starkly put: God killed Christ.

You haven't been around much, have you. I will say it. Isaiah said it here:

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:10-12 KJV)

It is the gospel. Christ was sacrificed for our sins. The only one who could kill Christ was God Almighty. If you don't recognize that it was God who exacted the judgment of death upon Christ, then I don't think you understand why Christ became incarnate.

I still think you’re revolving around in a logical argument without looking at where it leads you.

Could you say, and type these words as your true belief: “God killed Jesus Christ.”?
