If I am the image of God, I will never kill my child. Then I'm not.

Same.
Are you spirit or flesh?

I think you've missed the whole point.
You were intended to be immortal, but when you sinned, you gave up the right to immortality...not only your body, but, eventually, your spirit will die.
BUT...
God loves you SO MUCH that He was willing to come down out of Heaven and live as a mortal, so that you could get to know Him as He is...so that He could experience temptation in the same way you do...
And, finally, to put that flesh and blood on the altar of YOUR salvation...
He offers you the GIFT of Eternal Life.
You can refuse, if you like. The alternative is death.
It's up to you.

Jesus said "I and the Father are one"
and "anyone who has seen me has seen the Father"
Christian theology regarding God is that God is triune in nature consisting of three persons.
If you look at a water molecule you see it is made of three parts. Two of the parts are the same, hydrogen, one part is different, oxygen. Each is distinct but cannot be removed from the molecule or you no longer have water.
What a beutiful image of God He as given us in this molecule.
He called Himself the source of Living Water.
Hydrogen is the most basic atom. You cannot go any lower and still have an atom and that along with oxygen symbolic of the breath of God, the Holy Spirit.
Water can also manifest in 3 physical forms of solid, liquid, and gas.
God is the same in the relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each distinct but if you remove one you no longer have God.

Father = God
Son = God
Spirit = God
One God, three distinct persons.
Not possible in our limited time/space. But, God is not limited to our time space.
Naming the "Word" as the "son" is a way of defining that God had, like all humans, a single life to live in this time/space continuum.
He sacrificed that single "only begotten" life for the sins of the many.
God, however, did experience the suffering and sacrifice in all of his person-hood. Colossians says that the "fullness of the Godhead" dwelt in him.
The Father had to experience rejecting Jesus the Son as he put all of the shame of sin upon him.
Jesus endured the loss of the Father's joy, blessing and fellowship and endured the shame of the cross.
the spirit departed from Christ, and left him to suffer alone.
this had never happened before. God was, for the first time, experiencing suffering and shame from every possible angle. this is why, as a Christian, I am so humbled by my savior. He endured the shame of sin and suffering for me.
It tells me of his extreme love and mercy.
Choose Christ. He alone is worthy.

God did indeed offer himself for the world and put on flesh. There's only one God. Colossians 2:9 Jesus is God in the flesh. God was spit on, beat on and even tempted with sin. John 1:3,10

The Father and the Son are one.

well that's what the idea is God walked the earth as Christ. for arguments sake lets assume the bible is right and it is the word of God. a man approached Jesus and asked him how can i be good like you (paraphrase) and Jesus said to him there is none good but God. not denying he was good but implying that he was God. because Jesus was sinless well there is more to it then that but that's about as much as i could be bothered getting into.

He did offer himself. Jesus is God in the flesh!
In the beginning was the Word.
The Word was God, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

He did. Here's the short version:
God sacrificed himself, to himself, to change a law that he made.
