And boxcar trying to rationalize the contradiction by "Jesus came to the rescue", is a despicable cowardly cop out. Jews and other religions and many philosophers have been trying to solve this problem way before the advent of the Jesus myth

The problem cannot be solved apart from Jesus! Jesus lived the sinless life that none of us can live and died the death that we all rightly deserve. This is why God became incarnate in his Son!
There is no "contradiction", except the one that is a figment of your profane imagination.
But fear not! The day is rapidly approaching for you when all this will be made perfectly crystal clear to you.
