Like i stated previously, the Bible is rife with such things, it is an ancient text, compiled of several stories. If you read up you can find my explanation of things.

Thanks.

In christianity, the holy trinity, that of the 3 of 1, God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, are all intricately linked as to being the same 'being.'

The 'Son of God' was i think to show the relation of the manifestation of God as a human form, with God, angels and other 'heavenly' creatures being without a sex rather than gendered.

I hope that kinda explains it, its quite a complex thing to explain.

Christians believe that in coming to earth, God CHOSE to submit Himself.....we believe it was His love that allowed Him to come to a place where He....holy and without sin....did not belong. This was entirely His choice...and being God....He is entitled to do as he pleases. Understand that by coming to Earth in Jesus....God was not at all limiting Himself......being God, he could have at any time struck dead all those living....His power is limitless......yet He CHOSE not to do this because he loves us and had a mission to complete

As to your question of why God became a human...this was part of His mission......He came to earth to link humankind with God.....to take away our sin which was keeping us from God.....since Jesus came to take the punishment for all humankind......it is only fitting that he took on the form of 100% human and 100% God at the same time.

You're either a fool, or just incapable of reading.

The Bible is a collection of stories written as a philosophical understanding within contextual Ancient Israel.

If you dont know what that means, then im not going to explain it to you since it would be fruitless.

Many people like discrediting the Bible because of the supposed 'contradictions' in it. However....they are not aware that these contradictions are based on verses which are taken out of context.

I believe this is often the case for the Koran too.....many people have pulled stuff out of the Koran without first talking to a Muslim about it.

Sorry, you lost most of your credibility with me with this.

DO none of you read?

DID I NOT POST SAYING THAT IT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN AS A TOTALLY HISTORICALLY ACCURATE AND SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE PIECE OF EVIDENCE.

Thank you MoonlightSonata for actually reading my post.

Obviously some of those didnt.

I had a theory that he became human etc to "save us all" as in go to heaven etc, (which was said in the bible, but then again I'm sure Moses would've landed a seat in heaven, let alone all other biblical people". As in Jesus underwent suffering, things that happen to humans, temptation etc and ended up prosecuted and died - dealt with pain, to save us all and allowed us to go to heaven because of our journey through life.

Which is quite nice. Read Memnoch the Devil for more lol. By Anne Rice.

The thing I don't understand is the "Why have you foresaken me?" part. Why is he scared? How can he fear death when he knows, the whole time (or most of the time) that he was in fact God or part of God, so thus he had nothing to worry about???

I'm not criticising, I generally ask this all the time. By the way I'm not atheist. I have not the slightest clue what I am.

That was to illustrate the humanity of Jesus, as a man rather than as God's son.
