is the new testement the one that has been altered and changed and added here and there? why should i believe it then? and y would God do something as complicated as that and not just send us a prophet which is someone who is human, why go to all the trouble of changing forms like the little bird story. thats what the prophets are for. thats what Isa a.s. was for. to send us Gods message.

The first Christians claimed Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary for a very good reason: They were absolutely convinced that it actually happened.
Remember, Mary expressed disbelief when the angel first told her what was about to happen. And yet the Bible's witness is clear: "The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you. ... So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God'" (Luke 1:35). Jesus' first followers knew His mother and His immediate family well, because they often followed Him from place to place. If the virgin birth was only a myth, those disciples would have known it, and neither they nor Mary would have allowed it to be proclaimed.
It's significant that the most thorough Gospel account of the virgin birth was written by Luke, who was a medical doctor. If anyone knew the impossibility of a virgin birth it was Luke—and yet, after careful research, he knew it was a fact. The God who was powerful enough to create the whole universe also was powerful enough to bring Jesus into the world without a human father.
You will only understand the virgin birth of Jesus when you understand who He was: the divine Son of God, sent from heaven to save us from our sins. His miraculous birth was a sign, pointing the way to our salvation. Why not put your life into His hands?
Anyone can claim to be God, but What evidence is there to support their claim? The answer is clear: None. But Jesus Christ was different, and the reason is because He not only claimed to be God, but His whole life was a witness to its truth. Because of that, He alone could truthfully say, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).
What evidence is there for Jesus' divinity? The first is that of His sinless life—something only God could do. The Bible says Jesus was "tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Then there is the evidence of His miracles—miracles that demonstrated the power of God.
But the final proof of Jesus' divine nature was His resurrection from the dead. Anyone could claim to be the Son of God, but only Christ proved it by coming back from the grave—an event witnessed by hundreds. Who was Jesus Christ? He was God in human flesh—and He came into this world for one reason: to save us from our sins. Why not open your heart to Him today?

It's God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was the incarnation of God sent to die for our sins. Since God is omnipotent, He can send a part of Himself to do that.

God didn't give birth to himself... Mary did. A preacher once told me a story I would like to relate to you. Birds keep flying into your window. You want them to stop, so you go outside and try to talk to them so they will stop. Well, you're a human and they are birds, so you frighten them away. They would never listen to a human. Then, you dress up like a bird and show them the correct direction to take. Because you are dressed like a bird, they listen to you and stop flying into the window. This is what God did when he sent his son. He clothed himself in human flesh to show us the correct path. I hope this helps.

Mary gave birth to Jesus at God's direction.
And you should learn some punctuation. It is just respect capitalize God and Jesus.

He is God...and even when is only one God he is divided in three persons (That concept is called Trinity). This three persons: Father Son and the Holy Spirit are all God, none is less or greater than the other. Is a little confusing...

Jesus Christ is God the Son. His father was God the Holy Spirit.
I WILL admit that this is a mystery and must be accepted on faith.

“The most pressing question on the problem of faith is whether a man as a civilized being… can believe in the divinity of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, for therein rests the whole of our faith.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky quote

People in the West don't recognize teachings from the East.
It's all false pride.
But the essential idea behind religion, is that everything is
God. Or made from Gods power.

Add in the words "Jesus is" AN ASPECT OF GOD. and you'll be fine...
This one shouldn't scramble your brain too bad if you really WANT to understand it.
It is a tri fold unity, a trinity, an aspect of one intelligence called God.
