If Jesus was really God in flesh and united with God... Why did God need to send an angel to strengthen him?
Imagin you are a man who is completely united with God and furthermore filled with holly spirit, will you need any angels to strengthen you? :)
Isn't that a clear proof that Jesus was NOT God?
Luk 22:43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

Very intelligent question. Christ never said he was God he ls simultaneously one with and different from God. We are all sons of God. Jesus is the realized son who did need assistance at times but he never forgor his relationship with God. We on the other hand need to follow in his footsteps to attain that level of realization.He is the representative of God. We all have the qualities of God just not in the same quantity like a drop of water compared to the ocean. GO to http://www.essene.org fro the lost teachings of Christ and what the Catholic church does not want you to know

While Jesus was here on earth (God in the flesh) He experienced trials and hardships like any other man would. And because of this, He needed strengthening at times like any man does.
God, became one of us for a period of time, but as Hebrews put it, was "....the exact representation of His (the Father's) being".
I find it a wonderful gift to mankind, that God would do such a thing,- to experience the trials and hardships that everyday man endures to redeem a people that don't deserve it. What greater love than this?

Do you not relize there are 3 persons in God. Jesus Christ is the word, while the Father sent the Angels. The whole thing was planed that way to shows how God has everything under control. Even Satan hates to accept that.

It was as necessary that the fullest evidence should be given, not only of our Lord’s Divinity, but also of his humanity: his miracles sufficiently attested the former; his hunger, weariness, and agony in the garden, as well as his death and burial, were proofs of the latter. As man, he needs the assistance of an angel to support his body, worn down by fatigue and suffering
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
as a man he could feel pain, grow weary get hungry, go through all the things we do.
Luk 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Christ was in physical and mental despair and agony and needed strengthening.

Jesus was God in man form...
The angel strengthened Jesus' physical body. Jesus was in anguish because He know of what was to come. He prayed so hard that His sweat was like blood falling to the ground.

His relationship was about to be broken with the father this was a momentous event he did this so our relationship would be mended
remember the angels love him too they had been with hime since the beggining
this is not a proof that he was not God at all it is a proof that he was fully man when you die perhaps you would like an angel to comfort you as well?

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
thine Matt 6:10, Matt 26:42, Acts 21:14
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Even though Jesus was the son of God, He was still in human form. Jesus was asking His Father God, that if it was God's will to take this responsibility from Him, He would accept that, then God sent Him an angel that gave Him strength.
You can critize Jesus all you want. you can insult Him all you want. You can deny Him all you want. But none of that will change the fact that if it wasn't for Jesus dying on the cross to pay for our sins... not His.... for He was without sin, but for our sins, we would not have the opportunity that we have today to accept Him as our savior, and have our place set asside for us in heaven for when we leave this world, and be blessed with eternal life in peace with God.
Jesus wasn't thinking about Himself when He was tortured and beaten beyond human recognition for sins He didn't commit, but He was thinking about you, and me and everyone else. Get over yourself. And try saying Thank you to Jesus for what He did for you, instead of Him not doing it to your satisfaction!

jesus is all powerful but he left behind his divinity and became human. he came to earth in the human state and not as as a spirit. he needed to eat rest and water like every other human being. he came in the human form to die and suffer for our sins and if had came as a holy spirit he would not have been able to suffer in the cross. he came to prove that even us as humans can complete the mission he has left for us. he has set the example

I think you answered your own question. Jesus has the title of being mighty god. But not Almighty God. As the the bible states, the head of the woman is the man, head of the man is Jesus, and head of Jesus is God.
I cant understand why there is so much confusion.

He was God, but very much human. Remember He came through a woman, making him very much human, but very much God at the same time. So nope, it doesn't prove anything. In his humanness, He needed food.
