If jesus is God then why did he pray so hard in the Garden of Gethsemany that he actually perspired blood?Dont get me wrong .I believe in God and I believe in Jesus.I just dont believe the two are the same.Jesus was praying and teaching others to pray.how could God be praying and worshipping GOD?

God the Father didn`t kill his son Jesus.Jesus came into the world willingly and gave his life freely for us.There are three that we know of.The Father,The Son and the Holy Ghost.Even in Genesis it clearly states that there is more then one.Genesis 1:26-And God said let US make man in OUR image after OUR likeness:.Then in verse 27 it says that God(Speaking of the Almighty God)So God created man in HIS OWN IMage ETC......

It is nonsense - but it isn't Christian nonsense.
I hope you will study the history and development of Christian theology before you consider that a crackpot answer.

Yes, Christians do believe that Jesus was not only fully human but also fully divine - that is, that He was God in human flesh. One reason is because of Jesus' own statements about Himself, such as His assertion that "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).
How could Jesus die if He was God? One way to understand this is to realize that when Jesus' body died on the cross, He did not cease to exist. Yes, His body was dead—but His soul or spirit was still alive (just as ours will be when we die). Just moments before He died, we read that "Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit'" (Luke 23:46).
A far more important question about Jesus' death, however, is this: Why did He die? The Bible makes it clear that Jesus knew His enemies would try to put Him to death—and yet He refused to escape. Why? For one reason: Jesus came to become the final and complete sacrifice for our sins. We deserve to die for our sins, but He died in our place.
Why did He do this? He did it because God loves us and yearns for us to come to know Him and to love Him in return. He did it because He wants to forgive our sins and make us part of His family forever. Don't keep Christ at a distance any longer, but by faith open your heart to Him and commit your life to Him today.

This is to show he has only CONDITIONAL love ..... he will love you under the condition you believe he has unconditional love.
In order to do that, he kill his son then bring him to heaven to give you the picture. Give something to me, like I give myself my son by killing my son so my son become my son forever. If you don't do that you will be sinned forever by the sin I created even though I did not create it and satan created it when I am the creator for all things.
Therefore, you shall love me and praise me so when you die you can be brought to heaven to praise me and be happy with the fact you can suck my @ss for eternity. If you don't do that you will be thrown into the eternal fire pit I created even though I did not create it and satan created it when I am the creator for all things.

No crackpot answer here.
Yes, it easy to understand. God was teaching about unconditional love. A word many confuse with lust.

Can I use that? "God had to kill God so God could forgive you from himself" and add "for something you never did"

GOD IS NICE. HE KILLED HIS ONLY SON FOR US. ERGO... ER... we should kill our son. Like Abraham didn't.
Erm...

I think I'll just be an atheist instead, thank you very much.
