The reason is because Jesus is not God. Jesus is God's only begotten Son. He had a beginning, which is shown at Proverbs 8:22-31--"The LORD possessed me(Jesus) in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men."
Jesus was set up; brought forth. He was created and then God created all other things by means of his Son.
Jesus also prayed to his Father many times, not to himself.
Luke 22:41-43 also makes it clear that Jesus is not Almighty God(see Psalms 83:18). It says this: "And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him."
Jesus said not my will--but yours. If Jesus were God, would it not be his own will? And would an angel whom God created, need to strengthen the Creator of the universe? Hardly!
So why do so many believe in man-made doctrines? God's Word gives us the answer--"Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: “ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.” (John 12:39-40)
Another reason is found at 2 Timothy 4:3-4--" For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables."
I hope this helps.

I know this is a negative question but I'll use it to give a positive answer!
Jesus isn't God.
The trinity does NOT appear in the bible.
It is a teaching borrowed from paganism. People worshiped gods in the form of triads long before Jesus came to earth.
Jesus does live in heaven with his Father but they are two separate persons.
JOHN 1:18 - no man has seen God AT ANY TIME (many saw Jesus)
JOHN 14:28 - the Father is greater than the Son (contradicting the trinity teaching that they are co-equal etc)
Jesus is the mediator between God and man
A mediator cannot be one of the two parties, it must be a separate person entirely
Thanks

Christian teaching is that Jesus was the incarnate logos, which more than "word" means exact representation and full meaning. He was not being sent the word of God by visitation of angels in caves. Nor did anyone ever teach him as you could say Gabriel taught Mohamed, for Jesus expounded the scriptures from childhood as one having authority, though no man had ever been his teacher. I am not saying Trinitarianism isn't a complete strain on even the credulous mind, nor do I defend these notions, but those are the teachings of the Christian scriptures.

He was the WORD of God. He was God's communication to us. He was a living WORD.
Jesus' intuitive understanding of God's inner intentions while He was here on earth was made possible by the fact that God's Spirit dwelled within His physical body, speaking to Him, filling Him up so completely that He was God in a human suit.

PBUH is an acronym for 'peace be upon him' an expression muslims say after naming a prophet.
If any muslim wants to know about Jesus they can refer to the Bible and not the Quran.
God became flesh.

What is (pubh?)
Jesus is one third of the GOD head. May family is made up of 6 people but we are one family. My wife has given me things to do and I have done them. GOD has given Jesus things to do and he has done them.
Jesus is most certainly GOD.
May GOD richly bless you.

Psalm 139:6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Psalm 131:1
[ A song of ascents. Of David. ] My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
