So he died even thought he can't be killed?

So how could he have died on the cross if he wasn't actually dead. Makes no sense whatsoever.

He raised Himself. You can do that when you are God, and able to do anything at any time.
Isn't it something that people seem to have no issue with the idea that God can be ruling in heaven and living in multiple people's hearts at the same time and it is not an issue. But put Him into a single human body (as Jesus) and suddenly He can not also exist in heaven and other hearts at the same time? He is not bound by the laws of physics, time and space. He exist everywhere all the time.
So at the same moment he exist incarnate as the preson Jesus Christ, he still ruled from heaven, and was moving as the Holy Spirit. You will see all three person at once many times in the Gospels. Such as the batism of Christ, where Jesus was coming out of the water, as God spoke from heaven and the Spirit descended like a dove.
So who raised Jesus from the dead? According to Philippians 2:5-11, God did.

God did it to himself, the reason he got crucified was to prove he was human, and the devil tempted him to prove that he was the almighty God, that he didn't have to put up with this amount of pain, but God wouldn't let the devil become right, so he scarified himself. Why is it so hard to believe that God is everyone, everyone has a little piece of God in there body, and no one. God can do all things, why are you seeing God in 2 dimensions, why not see him 3 dimensional. He was more powerful then we, humans, will ever understand. He is not human, to catogerize him like that would be to put him not as strong as we would like to think of him as.

I think this is a fairly logical answer...maybe i'm wrong...
Everyone assumes God funnelled ALL his power into the physical body of Jesus. And I do not think that is so. God is supposed to be everything since the beginning of time. The alpha and the omega. Would those objects from our past, present and future not disappear? After all, they are part of God and his power has been put into/through Jesus.
No. No where in the bible did they say ALL of god's power was put into Jesus. think about it.

It sounds like you are asking a smart question . . . but you are placing a limitation on dying that does not exist.
death is not ceasing - unable to do something - death is another place - moving from one realm to another
The Gospels say that Jesus gave up his Spirit - he simply stopped being here . . . he became wholly 'there' - he removed the Spirit of Jesus from the Body that was called Jesus . . .
Don't believe this junk about Jesus going to hell (to take your place) . . . no . . . Paul said that death was defeated
I'm sure that Satan was thinking a similar thought (I'm not implying anything) - "If I can get him on this cross and kill him . . ." but . . . you don't kill God!

Jesus is God and he resurrected himself to show he has power over death
