Jesus Christ purchased us with his blood - parties involved
Upvote:2
This seems to be a misunderstanding of terms on your part.
Remember first that our English translations often miss nuances in translation. Words carry different meanings. These phrases are generally understood to mean that Jesus paid the price for our sins. That can certainly connote the idea of a purchase in the normal sense, as in "I paid for my groceries". However, it's generally understood in the same sense as a criminal paying the price for his crimes, as in going to jail, being executed, etc.
Unless I'm mistaken (and I'd be interested to see references that say otherwise) there isn't any major group in Christianity that actually views these as speaking as a transaction with a buyer and a seller.
Rather, it's an expression of the fact that there is a price attached to sin. It's a price we sinners can never pay, and since we can't, Christ paid it for us.
