Why would God give himself the common task of eating and sleeping? Jesus cant be god or even son of god, if He really wanted their sins cleansed then he can just clear them, no one had to be tortured or anything

It's all in that second word Incarnate -it means "in the flesh". He was fully human (the human nature needs to eat, sleep and feels pain) and fully God.
The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 2:5-11:
"Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross. Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (NLT)

Jesus is not God Almighty. He himself admitted the following:
1. He is a plain worshipper of Almighty God ( John 20:17)
2. He does not know the hour of the end (Mat 24:36)
3. He can not appoint who will sit at his right hand ( Mat 20:20-23)
4. His Father is greater than he is (John 14:28)
However, the word "God", or 'god' is a title applied to persons who have special mightiness ( Psalm 82:1-6, etc) Just like the title "Doctor". Not all "doctors" are equal. Some are greater, more knowlegeable than others.
BTW, the concept of the Trinity is not found in the Bible. This is a pagan doctrine engrafted to "Christianity" by false Christians.
It is Satan's ploy to take away pure worship to the only True God Almighty. In the King James Bible his name is Jehovah. ( Exodus 6:3) Jehovah is supreme over all other gods. ( Psalm 136:2, etc)

Because He is true man and true God. No superman. True and real man and true God.
The infinite became finite, the Eternal One came into time.
Took a human nature yet not ceasing being God.
God is almighty, and in His great mercy He did this for us because He is love and He wanted to take our sins upon Himself and reconciliate us with Himself in His death on the cross and open the gates of heaven for us.
Why did God become man in Jesus?
Because He is love and He wants our compaY.
God did not have to become man but He did.
Why? He is Almighty and He wanted to show that He could do whatever He wanted. And at last because He is love.

Jesus is God in human form. God in Heaven doesn't need to sleep or eat, but God in human form (Jesus) did.

Because Jesus never claimed to be God, he was simply a rabbi.
Paul made up the rest of the story later on.

Rare,
HE came as "GOD in the flesh". HE was born of a virgin and raised in Mortal form. HE was recognized as the Messiah by John the Baptizer and a number of others. Although HE was sinless, HE was brutally murdered/crucified on the Roman Cross, buried, resurrected, and ascended into Heaven in the presence of many people. HE deserves our utmost respect. Have you been baptized? Are you ready to begin studying to become a Christian? Send me a note and I will assist you when you are ready. Have a great week.
Thanks,
Eds

Because Jesus was also fully as we. The bible says He was tested in every way as we are, but was without sin. We do not have a high priest (Jesus) who is unaware of our frailties. That is exactly why Jesus came as He did.....He came down to our level and suffered for us.

Because Jesus was part human and part God. He was sent to Earth to spread God's Law and experience what humans were (and still are) experiencing. That is why he was allowed to feel pain, happiness, joy, sorrow, etc.

Even if Jesus was god in human form, he still wouldn't know what it's like to be human. You and I aren't god. We know we aren't. There's no way god could take my form and see things from my limited perspective.
Just doesn't make sense.
