We are on the subject of trinities and this like that at work so I ask: Does this mean he killed himself when Jesus was crucified? Would this not be a sin and send him to hell?

Not the trinity that Catholics believe in, but the Christian super troopers who think it is all the same thing.

Jesus is God, but is not the Father or Spirit. The Father is God, but is not Jesus or the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, but is neither the Father or the Son.
Therefore, when Jesus died a physical death, it didn't affect the others' status. It was not a sin, because Jesus was the only acceptable sacrifice to pay for our sins. He substituted Himself for you.
A diagram of the Trinity was developed from ancient times, and may be helpful to you. You can see it at this link (about halfway down the page):

correction- Jesus is God, He is the 2nd Divine Person in the Hoy Trinity.
Jesus nor God killed Himself. It was the Roman soliders that nailed Him on the cross, He didn't put Himself there. So He never committed suicide.
God is on 3 Divine Persons (Spirits). Father/Creator, Son (Jesus)/Redeemer, Holy Spirit (Ghost)/Advocate. Before Jesus was born on earth, He has always been existing because He is God and God has no beginnging and no end. Jesus was in a spiritual form like the Father and Holy Ghost. Jesus has known the whole time that He was to come to earth to show men that God exists and teach them of His word. Jesus knew that He was going to suffer and die and rise. He followed through with the plan of salvation to the end and He will come again to finish the plan.
God can never sin, He is God. If He did then He wouldn't be God. Neither the Father, Son nor Ghost can ever sin. They can never go back on Their word nor Their actions. It was the Jewish leaders that forced Pilate to sentence Jesus to death and it was the Roman soldiers that crucified Him. Jesus never fought against His arrest, His beatings, His sufferings, His being nailed to the cross - He let it all be done to Him out of pure love for humans and their sinful ways. He wanted to save us and give us eternal rest in Heaven.

No. There are three personalities. There is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All three were present at the creation, and they all made man in their image. Here is the distinction. When God decided to send Jesus down to earth as a baby, Jesus, who is still God, decided to willingly lay aside his glory to come to earth as a human being so that he could share in the sufferings of man kind, so that he could then intercede for us to his father in heaven. Now, those who put their trust in him have an advocate to go the Father on our behalf. We also have the Holy Spirit to help us out in difficult situations.

If what you are trying to ask is if Jesus committed suicide, the answer is no, of course not. He could have stopped the process at anytime, went back to Heaven and left us all dead in trespasses and sin. He chose to lay down His life for the salvation of His people. This was the greatest act of love. Look at it this way, if you saw a child wandering into the street and a car was coming, and you ran out and pushed the child out of the way and was hit and died in the process, was that suicide?

Three entities with different "Bodies" all three being equal yet seperate. Jesus Gave his life to cover our sins. The wages of sin is death, Note: wages are something that must be earned. But the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Hell was derived from the word gahenna-which was the garbage dump outside of Jerusalem...first century AD.
The scriptural idea of the divinity of jesus has been debated since before the first council of Nicaea in 325AD. This idea that he is God incarnate was not brought about until long after his death....
Do you believe in his divinity...?

Since it was a man who broke the first covenent, God came as a man (Jesus) to establish a new one. Be very glad he did. Proverbs 9:10

He did not kill himself, the pagan Romans and naive Jews killed him. Man killed him. Understand that Jesus was God AND man. One and the same. Boil water. You'll get water in two forms- liquid and gas.

In a way you can say He had His self sacrificed for the salvation of all.
If you died while trying to save your mother/father/brother? Would you consider that a sin?

Jesus is the Savior of the world, Lord of this world. HE himself worships God the Father. They are not the same being, they are "one" in purpose, not body.
That is why Christ was constantly referring to "his God" "my Father" "the one who sent me" ...it is just silly to think he "separated himself" and came to earth in another form. He is his own person and so is our Heavenly Father.
