Jesus was hated by the high priests and the teachers of the law but he would not return their hatred but rather asserted his own position as a man of peace. The only response they had to this was murderous hatred and they realised it by making use of the Roman authorities to authorize his death by crucifixion. Nothing Jesus was prepared to do could quench the fire of their hatred.

Well for one he had to be killed since he was a sacrifice lol. But, if you mean the political reasons....Jewish leaders were afraid of him and wanted him gone. The Romans felt he was stirring up trouble as well.
which other religion existed during Jesus Christ era?
Lots of pagan religions and of course Judaism.
were the other religion wellcoming and got converted to Jesus Christ teachings before Crucifixion?
I don't think so.... He preached to the Jews first and a lot of them went with it but like I said before, most of them didn't.
what do you mean by spirit full children of God?
Maybe the children of God are full of God's spirit?
and i am still confused whether "Jesus is God" or "Son Of God" from my first question?
Trinity doctrine was never in use til the 4th century, instituted by the Catholic church at the Council of Nicea.I don't personally find credibility with it but the trinity is something that you will have read the arguments for and against and decide for yourself, noone can answer that for you.

and believe me i do have faith and i go to god. God dont come to me.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was Crucified and Died on the Cross at Cavalry for our sins so that we as believers could be born again and have Eternal Life through faith.

The final sin is Death.

Satan is the Prince of The World and the time is running out for him to destroy mankind as he is chief of liars but the Lord God permitted him to go about his evil and allowed us to choose whom we should believe.

Children of God are led by the Spirit and love the Word of God and keep the commandments.

The Word of God - [ Holy Bible ] - became the son of man in the flesh Our Lord Jesus Christ.

It doesn't matter where you are you can ask the Lord to come along side you to help you it only takes a little faith about the size of a grain of mustard seed.

Our Heavenly Father is Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ the Son of man also the Holy Spirit is the HOLY TRINITY [one] only and same person.

Satan and 1/3 of God's children rebelled. God could have destroyed them all right then and there. But God loved his children and had to find a way to defeat Satan and offer salvation to His children.

You know the rest of the story I do believe.

There are many good books to answer your questions. The Bible and the Book of Mormon would be best as they support each other. This year I have been studying books written by W. Cleon Skousen and James Talmadge's "Jesus the Christ". You have a whole list of questions here which would probably mean you need to study on your own to get complete answers. To be brief: Jesus Christ was crucified as part of the Infinite Atonement He was prepared for even before the history of the world. From a Mormon point of view (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), all of us existed as spirit children of God in a place called the pre-mortal life. That is another one of your questions, if I understand you right. I believe that your spirit looks just like you, only it is made of more refined material than your physical body, and it can never die. It can also be referred to as your "intelligence." I believe that God the Father has a glorified and perfect body of flesh and bone in addition to having a perfect Spirit. A spirit and a body combined together are what constitutes a living soul. As spirit children of God, we wanted to learn more about how to be like our Heavenly Parents. So God and His Firstborn Son, Jesus Christ, our Elder Brother, designed a Plan of Happiness which has always existed to help us learn more. This included creating the physical earth where we now live and where we would receive physical bodies when we were born. Part of the plan to grow spiritually meant living by faith, which meant we were going to forget the pre-mortal life where we used to live. Because we would be living by faith, we would also be open to committing errors or "sin" - that is, disobeying the will of God - sometimes it would be through ignorance, sometimes it would be because we would give in to physical appetites, and sometimes it would be because of temptation of other kinds. God the Father knew we would all be subject to physical death as well, as our bodies are mortal instead of being immortal. God - who is perfect in truth and righteousness - cannot permit the presence of sin in His Kingdom. So there had to be a way to prepare our spirits to come back to the presence of God. Jesus Christ volunteered to bring about the Atonement - to pay the spiritual price of our sins and weaknesses, and which would also include giving up his earthly life so that He could pass through the process of the Resurrection (combining the spirit with a perfect, immortal, physical body) first. Because Jesus Christ took on Himself the spiritual imbalance caused by all of our sins and weaknesses, He became our Advocate (something like a lawyer, but completely honorable and perfect) with the Father. If we repent and call on Jesus Christ's name to use the power of the Atonement, He can help us change and be cleansed spiritually in preparation to return to our Heavenly Father. In addition, every living thing in the Universe will recognize Jesus Christ's authority in bringing back those who call on His Atonement, because every living thing in the Universe knows Jesus Christ's power, love, and the depth of the suffering He went through in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. Jesus Christ was crucified as part of prophecy (see for example, Psalms 69:21 in the Bible (re: Jesus was given gall or vinegar to drink while on the cross) or 1 Nephi 19:8-18, 23 in the Book of Mormon). He had to go through a physically tortuous process wherein His life could be offered up as a sacrifice, and so that He could pass through the Resurrection process. Having an immortal Father (God) and a mortal mother (Mary), this meant that Jesus was able to give up His life and then take it up again through the power of the Holy Priesthood, or the authority of God. The Atonement is the single most important event in the history of the world. Because of Jesus Christ, we can all return to the presence of Heavenly Father if we repent. Also, because of Jesus Christ, every person who has ever lived on the earth will be resurrected as a free gift - whether or not people know who He is. The Atonement of Jesus Christ was so powerful that it also automatically covers all little children who are under the age of 8 or the age of accountability if they die before being baptized or if they die without learning about the Gospel of Jesus Christ (see Moroni 8:8-20 in the Book of Mormon). However, I believe that everyone will eventually have the chance to learn about Jesus Christ at some time before the entire Resurrection takes place.
You can find out which other religions existed at the time of Jesus Christ by reading a good Bible commentary. Idol worship still existed, as the Samarians had been conquered by the Assyrians (Days of the Living Christ, Volume 1, by W. Cleon Skousen, page 174). Some of the idols worshipped were Baal and Ashtoreth. However, some of the Samaritans persisted in worshipping Jehovah the same as the Jews did or else had a mixed set of religious practices, which would explain why Jesus did not organize missionary work there at first. I do not believe very many idol worshippers became Christians, but there is the story in the Bible of the Samaritan woman at the well who wanted to learn more of Christ's teachings. My Bible dictionary says Phillip did a lot of successful missionary work among the Samaritans (Acts 8:4-25).
Jesus is the Son of God and the Second Member of the Godhead. God the Father is the First Member, and the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) is the Third Member. If you have not heard of the word Godhead before, it means the same as the Trinity - only as a Mormon I believe that there are 3 distinct and individual people.
