Why did he only give Jesus all the cool powers? Yeah he had suffer for a day but poor buddist Timmy has been burning in a lake of fire and it stuck there forever. Parents always play favorites.

Jesus is also God according to the Christians, so unless you develop mutiple personality disorder, you're out of luck.

This sounds very familiar. Perhaps you (or someone else) recently asked a very very very similar question?
Jesus is God's eternal Son; in the beginning He existed, He was with God, and He was God. (St. John 1:1)
You might be God's son by creation ... but that alone isn't enough to boast. Jesus even told some that they were of their father, the devil. So, who is your father?
Because Jesus was obedient, even to death on the Cross, because of the Atonement you have the opportunity to become God's son by adoption.
And though Jesus only suffered "for a day", but being God He suffering was infinite ... some how He was able to bear our suffering for eternity in His body, on the Cross/tree/ in that dread six hours. There was none other good enough, to pay the price of Sin ...

tehehe, why do some parents play favorites? Question I cannot answer except by knowing ourselves. Without trying to we play favorites all the time. But, who else but Jesus would take on that responsibility knowing the outcome of it all. Why would I want that responsibility of saving millions and billions of people. Good question.

Because people need to give away all their power and responsibility away to an external deity, in order to satisfy their minds and hearts, which couldn't handle the truth of true independence and reality if they had the opportunity to find it.
Because people are sheeple and they need a shepherd.

Stupid question, youre an idiot, we know, bordering blasphemy, good luck with that.
I always thought it would suck to be Jesus' sibling (1/2 brother or whatever). Could you imagine Mary and Joseph whenever you screwed up...Why can't you be more like your brother Jesus? Huh?
Just thought that was funny...maybe just me. Nevermind.

Because he's directly God's son. He lived with him in heaven before he came down to earth as a human. So that's why, sweetie.
