I believe l am a christian and l do not look at Jesus as God ,but The Son of God , He was born in the likeness of God, He is Gods Son, and we approach God via the door way of His Son. And these 3 are 1. Father , Son , Holy Spirit, each have there own role to play . IN THE SON OF JESUS CHRIST WE SEE AND KNOW, GOD THE FATHER

GREAT QUESTION....GREAT POINT! I am going to use that! I do not believe that Jesus is God. I do not believe in the Trinity. No where in the Bible is that found. It plainly says over and over again that Jesus is God's son....whom God sent to the eart to die for our sins. And, that is what I believe. While Jesus was on earth, He prayed to His Father (God) many many times. When He ascended back into heaven, He sat at the right hand of the Father (God). At the time of creation, He was along side His Father (in heaven)...clearly says that in the Bible, also (Jesus said it). And, so much more....many many many Scriptures to support that.
Check this....1 John 4:2 reads, "This is how you can recognize the Spirt of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Clearly, it says we must acknowledge Jesus came in the flesh, NOT God came in the flesh.

That is an odd question. Had you really studied scripture you would know that God while in Diety form cannot be born or die for he is alpha and omega. Jesus was The word of God made flesh and therefore was born a man and obviously man can and does die.

Jesus born and died biologically. Let us just put it this way, God took a form of human. As a human, he bleeds and suffers but his soul is beyond anyone else. God needs to set an example of men of living a good life(good as in virtue and not an easy life) and thus he took form of a human.
Like the saying: The good leader is a good follower.

Jesus is NOT God...he is the SON of God. This always bugged me about some religions as well. Jesus came to us to teach us, hence the New Testament...have you read the Old Testament???? Geez louise...that was NOT written my MY God. In fact, the Bible was written by MAN. God never has or ever will be in human form.

One of the creeds says that in Jesus, God became human. To me that means that although there is but one God, there are many ways in which God can be experienced -- "manifestations" of God. Jesus was a manifestation of God, or, if you like, Jesus was as much God as it's possible for a human to be.

The answer simple. He can't die because his spirit lives forever, yet he suffered as a human and broke the chains of death and sin by Resurrecting.
Jesus Christ was the one that created the entire universe, and all three beings in that make up god said Let Us Make Man In Our Image.
1 John 5:7 (King James Version)
7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
John 1:1-5 (King James Version)
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2The same was in the beginning with God.
3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

God has a plan, and Jesus birth, life, death , and ressurection was part of that plan.
