Would a 'Just' God, a 'Fair' God, a 'Loving' God -- punish Jesus for the sins of the people that he called to follow him?

Jesus is God…he’s part of the Godhead…it was the plan of redemption for all people.
EDIT: Maybe these verses will help.
I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
EDIT: God is the Godhead: God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit ...these three are one....
I am: A Mother, A daughter, A Sister...
God is divided...
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
EDIT:
God the Creator
God in the Flesh…Jesus the Savior
God…the Holy Spirit…the Comforter…who teaches us and guides us (when you accept the Lord, the Holy Spirit is the part of God that dwells in you)

You limit God. God created everything whether you believe He did or not. How can 3 be 1? God is Spirit and consuming fire. Great energy as well. God can become whatever He wishes to become and still remain Spirit and consuming fire which is Great Energy. The Bible gives 3 aspects of God - God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit which lives inside of us.
God killed God. God punished God. The reason God created Jesus was so a sinless man could take away the sins of the world. Only Jesus was sinless. No other man in all of history has been sinless. God created a sinless man in His Son Jesus Christ. God set the law that only blood removed sin. The blood of goats and rams could only cover sin. It took Jesus a sinless, unblemished Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world so you and I could get reconnected to God. In the Garden of Eden, Adam lost his connection to God by sinning and death came into the world. Until Adam sinned he had eternal life.
But by Jesus, we can receive eternal life once again.

Jesus work was finished on the cross, thus was the final spotless sin Sacrifice ever needed, God did provide: look to Genesis 22:8 and understand the concordance.

Your understanding of this is a bit off.....
Jesus *is* God. God made man. (John 1:1-5) God loved us so much that He came to earth and dwelt among us "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) Jesus wasn't exactly "punished" for the sins of humanity. He, as God made human, *voluntarily atoned* for the sins of mankind. There's a big difference here - He, being human as well as being God, could have refused - remember He actually asked His Heavenly Father to let Him off the hook while He was sorrowfully praying in the Garden at Gesthemene. He was paying off a huge sin debt that we ourselves could never pay, no matter how holy we try to be, or no matter how many of our own sacrifices we would offer up to God. It was actually a very loving God who saved us from ourselves. It was our original choice to rebel against God and turn away from Him. It was God's voluntary choice to become one of us, show us how to lead a model life, and then be offered up as a sacrifice for all time, for the sins of mankind, past, present, and future. All we have to do to benefit from this and gain eternal life is to basically say "Yes" to God, and live our lives as Christ Himself taught us

These may be above your head...and I am not sure you are able to have spiritual reception.
it has to do with covenantal headship and substitutionary atonement.
We are punished for Adam's sin that is imputed unto us and also our sins; thus with the Lord Jesus, we may be redeemed.
Put another way, if President Bush declared war on President Putin, every American is at war with Russia; however when the next President declared peace by offering peace offerings, then there is no more war between America and Russia, just to put it simplistically!!

There had to be a sacrifice to pay for the sins of the world. That was God's plan...we can't understand it with our human minds, but it's the truth!

The premise here is that Christ willingly paid the price that we would have had to pay for our sins.
God accepted that the price was paid, therefore, all we need to do is ask Christ for forgiveness of our sins since he's holding the tab.
Is it 'fair' and 'loving'? I dunno since I don't know the current market value of sin to soul.
