    nor would S/HE purchase ITS own Redemption at the price of the suffering of a Dearly Beloved
I think Christians circumvent this thinking via the Holy Trinity. God, Christ and the Holy Spirit are one being, therefore the suffering didn't occur to a beloved other it occurred to God. God voluntarily suffered so that we might wash away our inequities and cleanse our sins Psalm 51:2

At least that is my take on how it is justified.

    The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
    a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
