The truth is that Jesus is not just an ordinary man. If Jesus was just like us, His blood sacrifice could not have atoned for all our sins.
Jesus is God incarnate - that means He was God in bodily form. He was both fully God and fully man. He had both a human and divine nature. Because of His human nature, He is able to understand us because He was tempted in the same ways we are, but because of His divine nature, He remained sinless.
The Lamb of God, the final blood sacrifice for our sins, had to be innocent and without blemish. Jesus fits this description because He was innocent and without sin. His shed blood paid the penalty for our sins so that we could be reconciled to a Holy God. If we reject His sacrifice on our behalf and the salvation that it brings, then we are still guilty in our sins, and God will judge us accordingly.
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -John 14:6
Throughout scripture, Jesus proved He was Divine and not just an ordinary man. Isaiah 9:6 in the Old Testament fortells Jesus's birth: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
For your second question, God is triune in nature (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit) - He is not three Gods, but One, with three distinctive roles. Admittedly, the Trinity is a difficult concept for our finite minds to grasp. It would probably be like trying to explain ourselves to an ant. The best analogy I've seen someone use is water (not that God can be summed up with this analogy, mind you). One substance, but with three different properties - liquid (water), solid (ice), gas (steam).
It's hard to explain the Trinity, but we know it's true because it is supported in scripture from both the Old and New Testament. In the OT, God assures us that He is One, that there are no gods other than Him. Yet, He often refers to Himself in the plural form.
Examples: "Then God said, 'Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness...'" -Genesis 1:26
"And the LORD God said, 'The man has now become like one of US, knowing good and evil.'" -Genesis 3:22
So, who is US in these verses? Answer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit = One God.

The veracity of any historical event is directly equated with the number of contemporaries who verify or whose writings support the event.
The life (with attenuating miracles), death and bodily resurection of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ (or, Messiah) is directly spoken of by four disparite individuals and referred to by two other contemporary writers.
No event in ancient history is supported by such overwhelming testemony.
That is the factual evidence. Now, for the good stuff:
God (Jesus the Christ) who formed and at his discretion continues the entire universe is still acting with all the power that created this universe.
If you do not now believe then Christ challenges you!
Believe!
Your life will be changed. No, you will not become a wild-eyed cult follower. You will recieve a new reason to live and will want to pursue it with all your being.
You say you are going mad. Give your life to Jesus on a trial basis. Why not try six months? Get acquainted with some of these lunatics called Christians and see what happens.

Firstly, Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Same god Christians and Jews worship. Secondly, while Christians believe Jesus was crucified, Muslims believe he was raised to Heaven without being put on the cross and God transformed another person to appear exactly like Jesus who was crucified instead of Jesus. Jesus ascended bodily to Heaven, being in a state of stasis until his Second coming in the End days. God substituted Jesus with Judas Iscariot because he was a traitor.

Jesus was an incredible man. He lived a life full of service and love. If you look at Jesus as just a man he is a great role model, but I believe that he is much more than that. I believe that he suffered and bled and died for my mistakes and sins. I also believe/Know that he was resurrected for me. God also has a body. He looks like us and we are in the image of god. See Genesis 1: 39. I know that Jesus and God loves us and that They want us to know the Truth.

You obiviously haven't read the Bible. It's in the book of Genesis. God is not man, Jesus was a man, temporarily while he was sent to Earth by God the Father, to die for us and redeem us for our sins. God, Jesus, and The Holy Ghost are the Holy Trinity. 3 in one. God created every single thing that you see, so yes, God is the farthest above us than you can imagine.

Jesus was real no doubt about that. There are tax papers from Jesus's time and it shows he was real. They made note of people they disliked. Jesus was supposedly a miracle worker. I believe he was a very good one. I do not think that the spirit of Jesus wants me to do this or that. My understanding of god which is limited, is make your own conception of god if you do not like what you hear. My god loves me no matter what I do. He laughs at everything I do, whether it is wrong or right. I will die and be one with the world. I do know that by helping peope I feel really good. If I help people I am closest to God.

Well he is not just another man he is lord god in human form that was born to die for our sins on the cross and be raised again.
Jesus was also a martyred and he is no longer living. So to guess positioning on him is irrelevant. he is only in spirit and this realm is not for speculation but enlightened ideology.

Jesus IS God. He was God incarnate. That is, God in the flesh. He is the true Son of God as well as the second person in the Trinity.
