The selfishness "of God"?
If Jesus being the "holy begotten son", God himself, then wouldn't his act on the cross been selfish and not selfless? God himself states he is a jealous God, and wants us only for himself. So if he did come to earth as Jesus then dying on the cross was not a selfless act but a selfish one because he wants us to be with him.

In response to sunflower.....we do have something that God wants and that is ourselves, we are not his entirely, hence the fall from grace when the apple was eaten. We became beings of free will and choice, just godlike and I do know Genesis 3:5 KJV
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
John 10:34 KJV •
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
The little 'g' is implying that we are gods, not Gods possession. We have a choice to return to the maker or not. So his choice is selfish, to get us to return home so to speak.
