Boy are you ever mesmerized by your false doctrines, the point of the Psalm is that rich or poor, wise or simple, all men die and therefore although the rich think that their money can buy them anything they want, it cannot buy their soul or the soul of a brother from death, for they are going to die just like the poor man does and there is no way out of it.Wealthy men thought they could save a nation by paying Judas 30 pieces of silver to bring Jesus to them..
50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation.
Zechariah 11
Purchased the potters field 30 pieces of silver
Now going back to Psalm 49, a mere man can not redeem his brother.
6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
....
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
So who redeemed us! Psalm 49 says God and Titus says Jesus this proves who Jesus is. He is God.
Titus 2:14 KJV — Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Again Psalm 49
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
John 10:18 KJV — No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
That is what the Psalm is all about and by the way, where do you even see the words "mere man" at all used in this Psalm?
So then, in your logic on this, if no man can pay the price necessary for another man to be redeemed, that would include Jesus also, because the Psalmist doesn't say he is speaking of a mere man but rather that no man can redeem another from death.
However, like I said and will again, the point of the Psalm is that all men die no matter how much money they have, for money cannot buy them freedom from death but only the precious blood of Jesus as a lamb (physical being and man with blood) and without blemish and meaning no sin.
Sorry but your Bible very clearly says "for as it was by one man that sin entered into the world, so it is by the righteousness of the one man Jesus Christ that men are redeemed and made righteous before God" and these are actually my wording of what Paul says in Romans 5:12-22 but it is what he is saying in that passage nonetheless.
Jesus also in John 6, very clearly revealed that it was himself as a man with flesh and blood that all men would be redeemed who will believe and he makes no mention any more than Paul did of it requiring God or a God man to do it.
Of course God prepared Jesus for it and without God, Jesus would have never been able to do it and therefore it reveals the love of God that was working within the Son and just as Paul also said, "For God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself" and not that God was Christ or that Christ was God either.
Therefore God does indeed redeem our soul from the grace and just like the Psalmist said but he does it through a new human being that he created the seed of from heaven and sent into the womb of Mary and without which there would be no redemption at all period.
God always created and raised up men to work through in order to redeem men from adversity in the physical sense and therefore your idea that one has to be God in order to redeem men spiritually is manufactured by the carnal human reasoning and cannot be proven by the scriptures period.
