Is complete, nonsensical bullshit. Jesus, if he even existed, couldn't have "sacrificed himself" to god and be a part of god at the same time.
Think of god the father, sitting in heaven, and he says to himself "I am going to sacrifice myself to myself to pay a penalty I demand for breaking a law that I established myself."
What does that accomplish?! Nothing! The whole idea that Jesus was actually a part of god defeats the idea that Jesus could be sacrificed to god (which is what he was, a human sacrifice. Why else would he be paralleled to 'the unblemished lamb' whose blood 'washes away our transgressions').
Meaning either the trinity is true, and the Christian god is a masochistic nutjob; or Jesus wasn't a part of god, but more like a god-man/demigod.
