God reincarnated or created a version of him/her/it-self as a finite human being(Jesus)? Why not come down in prime form? Why did God create an equvalent evil God known as the Devil? Also, Why is Jesus depended on GCB(greatest conceivable being or the creator) If he is the GCB?

I think God sent Jesus in human form so people could have the opportunity to actually see Him...you know, people have trouble believing in someone they can't see (I don't, but some do). God used to speak to people directly from Heaven, but maybe people showed Him through their actions that they needed something tangible. Plus, Jesus was to be the ultimate sacrifice to end all sacrifices.
I suspect He chose not to come down in prime form because He didn't want to scare people to death! It's easier to accept someone when they "look" like everybody else. I guess.
The Devil was created by God as an Angel. Satan decided he did not want to be on God's side anymore...so God, did not create the Devil as an evil equivalent.
As for the last question....I don't have any ideas on that one.

Ooops boy, this went over my blond head, but I - of course - have something to say ; )
This is explained in the beginning of the gospel of John. Jesus was the Word what become flesh. He was here in a human form. He was here a teacher and an example. He fulfilled the Bible prophecy. He confirmed the Old Testament and promised the New Testament.
God created angels and gave them a free will. Lucifer is a fallen angel, known also as Satan...who is not equal to God by any means. God has not taken care of Him yet, but that does not mean that He will not...because God will destroy Satan in the end.
Jesus is God. He is depended on nothing. Yet He loves, and He wants to know if love is mutual. Too much to ask?

Christ came to earth in human form to bridge the gap between humanity and God because we were cutt off from Him with the original sin. God did not create an equivalent evil god, Satan is the Prince of the Air the great deceiver. His time on earth will come to an end.

Jesus made Himself, lower then the angels of Heaven, and in the likeness of sinful man, to show us sinners how to rightfully worship the Father God in Heaven. He had to be a human mortal man, because to price that needed to be paid for the all the sins of the world, was death, and He had to be able to die! And yet, only God can forgive ALL the sins of mankind, so He was equally God as well! See below article:

Jesus because he himself would be impossible for humans to see (nobody can actually see HIM -in "prime form" and live)
He did not create the devil to his "equivalent" the devil is a fallen angel who likes to immitate god to pretend that hes as powerful as god.
Jesus is not "depended on GCB" he is the founder of a new covenant.

God couldn't come down in prime form because you can't kill God. He couldn't die for our sins that way. The devil is not equal to God in ANY way. While he's the ultimate evil, he is not on the same level as God.

Jesus was in the form of a man(with the power to sin and die)...God used him to make a way for us to enter heaven.
The devil is not his equivalint he is only apart of Gods plan...
Jesus did not hold equality with God...(Phil 2)

1.God wanted us to know him.
2. We would not be able to be in his presence, even moses had to hide under, the cleft of a rock, when he wanted to see his glory, God also told him that he would cover him with his hand until he passed by, then when he passed by he removed his hand, and Moses could see his back , but he didn't allow him to see his face.No one can see the face of God and Live.
The devil, as you call him was Gods second, hand Arch Angel, in heaven, he became so full of pride that he thought he could be God, so God cast him down to earth with the angels that followed him, as their punishment, to boot he made it so that when we have the holy spirit in us, we rule over him, it is not the devils power that makes us sin, but, our own choice to sin, we choose to follow his evil prideful ways, or we choose life, it's our choice not the devils.
3.God, The Holy Spirit, and Jesus are one, but separate, Jesus is the son of god, and the son of man, he sits at the right hand of the father, he is the door, and our salvation, and the only way to God.
God Bless.

He didn't create the "devil" as far as the bible goes.. Lucifer was one of his servants/angels..whatever, and decided to try and take over "God's" position..and lost.
I'm an atheist, but Jesus was apparently god's son, totally different from his father who apparently said he could not show himself to humans as we would not understand his "form" guess he meant he was a dimension or something like that..
All a story anyway..but good question

Why is it that you question God, who you wouldn't be here without. Read the bible, it'll answer any question you want..
Except those questions that man simply isn't supposed to know the answer to.
