I believe God will give me the power to walk on water and turn water into wine, and heal the sick, if He knows that I am following in His Son's footsteps. I believe God wants me to do this because if I do it, I will retroactively relieve half of Jesus' burden.
How should I go about being martyred so that I may perform the Will of God and thereby become your half-savior? How would you like for it to happen?
Would you do the same?

Wouldn't it mean something more, if I, who am not perfect, would do it for you? I mean, after all, you'd expect Jesus Christ too do it. He was perfect. No big deal. He didn't even have to have any faith. God was his own Dad. What about me???

Sorry too late the position was already filled and He was Perfect for it.

simple
all you have to do is have God as your biological father, so that you are diety
then live a perfect sin-free life
then be called by God to atone for the sins of man through martyrdom
then suffer such that you bleed from every pore of your skin as you suffer for each sin of every person (or in this case, maybe only half the people or half the sins of all the people) and be martyred
simple
perhaps a little understanding of Christian theology will help you realize that you need a different religion if you want to become messiah
Christianity already has a savior and His act is impossible to follow

The greatest love one can give for their neighbor is to give his life in behave of his brother. Example: A flight over the Caribbean crashed into the water. A woman, who had a life preserver, took hers off and gave it to another woman who did not have one. Of course the first woman drowned. What a deep example of love for your fellowman. Only Jesus can die for your sins. In fact, he is the only ransom sacrifice that would be received by his father in heaven. He's already done that loving act 2000 years ago. So, don't worry. You won't have to die for our sins. That has already been done by the only perfect man that has ever lived. You fall into the category of imperfect like the rest of us. Just learn from the Bible how you can appreciate that sacrifice and become a follower of Jesus.

Blah blah blah, the job was taken and He was perfect for it. Prove it to me. Seriously. And don't throw that ratty translation you call a Bible at me. Especially if it's the King James. Y'all can't even get the translations right.
Now as for this guy, I don't know how you do it, but I'll help you bro. We are all created by God and therefore all God's sons and daughters. Why would he preffer one over another? Cuz the Christian God is an a$$hole. Read the Old Testament and tell me he isn't.

God gave us His only son, Jesus, and He had the ultimate faith in His Father. I think you missed some things in your reading of the Bible. We do not need another Saviour. God provided us with the one and only. It would not be the same for one of us to do it. It was a sacrifice God made.

Before proceeding any further, could you just demonstrate the two water tricks - walking on and into wine. By the way, can you heal the mentally unwell too - if so, America needs you in a big way.

Sorry, you can believe whatever you want, don't make it so. You don't qualify since you are already stained with sin. Works been done, no more to do. I would drop the god complex and delusion of grandeur.

It is said that Christians "die daily". In that we give up the pleasures of the flesh, that we would like to enjoy too, in order
to set an example for others.

NO, that is not up to you but God. You have no need to relieve his burdens, believe or not He is glad to relieve yours. For what I can see in you question, you have many.
