Jesus had to be fully God and fully man to die for the sins of the world, and here is why: "If the sharing between the divine nature and the human nature does not or cannot occur, then the blood that Jesus shed at the cross that we are told repeatedly cleanses us from all sins can't cleanse us from all sin, it's just human blood. The reason that some random man can't die for our sins is two-fold: One is because he has to die for his own sins, and two, if he is just a man and is actually sinless, then he could die for one other person, but we needed a redeemer who could die for all of us and that requires more. If Jesus' human nature doesn't share in the divine power, then Jesus can't be a substitute for all of our sins; there has to be a divine power that extends the merits of that death to all people; otherwise, the Redemption doesn't exist."
