It made for a better story. The fact that Jesus' supposed sacrifice was just a temporary one really doesn't register with believers. They like to pretend that a god posing as a human was a great sacrifice. They further pretend that his suffering on the cross was somehow unique or worse than other's suffering through the ages (frequently at the hands of the religious). Lastly, they wholly fail to explain how torturing an innocent person (or lamb or pigeon) can absolve the ills done by a less innocent person.

Speaking of Almighty God, Hab. 1:12 says: "Are you not from long ago, O Jehovah? O my God, my Holy One, you do not die." Ps. 90:2 says: "Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."

So, Jehovah is immortal. What about God's Son? When he came to earth he was put to death at the hands of his enemies. If he had been immortal at the time, he could not have died for mankind's sins. After he had been dead for 3 days, his Father resurrected him from the dead. (Gal. 1:1) Upon being restored to life, God bestowed upon Jesus immortality. Ro. 6:9 says: "For we know that Christ, now that he has been raised up from the dead, dies no more; death is master over him no more."

So, Almighty God has always been immortal. But Jesus did not receive immortality until after he had been "put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit." 1 Pet. 3:18

Jesus is true God and true man He has two natures ( human and divine) Jesus died in His human nature, as God He saved us from sin and the devil and he rose again on the 3 'd day.

God doesn't die in the person of Christ, the human nature of Christ dies, and through this act of divine humility, God enters into and imbues the reality of human suffering and death with his divine presence. The fathers of the ancient Church call this "the marvelous exchange"-- God in Christ takes on a human nature so that humanity might share in the divine life in all the events and expriences of our lives. Research what Christians believe about the nature of the Incarnation of God in Christ, particularly a theological principle of what is called the "communicatio idiomatum"-- the communication of idioms.

God became flesh/human as Jesus and Jesus as a human died for our sins. But he didn't stay dead. Being God, he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where he know sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us and awaiting the time when God tells him it is time to come and get his children.

He died for the forgiveness of your sins!!!!!! He was fully GOD and fully man. In Jesus was all the fullness of Deity. The Bible says that God bought the church with His own blood.

Jesus was God in human form. That's why.

Good question. Jesus partook of the 'Logos' of God, a Greek word difficult to translate. It has been translated as the 'Word of God' or 'Reason.' I see the logos as a metaphor. So Jesus didn't partake of the Eternal Essence of God; but he did partake of some of his attributes. This is how Jesus can in some sense be called God; but not in a literal sense.
