    The condescension of God is that Jesus stepped down from his place as Jehovah and took up a mortal body. All mortal bodies are subject to death. More importantly, His death was required to bring about the salvation of all mankind, which our Father in Heaven intended. Jesus willingly accepted the role of Savior.

    Interesting side note -- unlike any other human being on the planet, there is evidence that Jesus did have at least some control over his own death. Based on his words and other sources, it appears that Jesus died exactly when he meant to.

    Christians do not worship Jesus as "a god" because that would make them polytheists, and polytheism is condemned in the Bible. Either Jesus is God, or he is a false, would-be god.

    Jesus left the Godhead in Heaven to become Mary's child, expressly for the purpose of dying as the only sinless sacrifice for sin there has ever been. That was the whole reason why He added human nature to His divine nature. If you don't know that, you totally misunderstand the Christian faith. The Father sent Him to Earth to become "the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world" - Read John 1:1-29.

    Romans 4:25 "He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."

    Hebrews 2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone."

    Jesus accomplished the divine mission and His resurrection proves Him to be the Son of God.

    HE came to sacrifice for us...because NO MAN in heaven -on Earth or under the Earth was worthy to do so..and since BLOOD is the only Atonement ..and No man was worthy to Atone...God took a body and came to give Himself for us ALL..and shed that blood to Atone and fulfill the Law OT-Will-Covenant...and arose to established a New Covenant with man a Eternal one......with better promises and is an everlasting Covenant sine He died once and is now eternal, that Will-testament-Covenant can not end.

    It's obvious. Jesus and his death was foretold. His death was prophesied, even by himself several times. How could anyone who read any one of the four Gospels miss something like that?!?!?!?

    Jesus was incarnation of God.God has made a law of destruction in this physical world.God self also obeys that law.He comes on earth in form of Mystic,Prophet,Saint,Guru,Buddha from time to time and tells us about truth.And after showing us right path He fulfil His law and get died.Then again He incarnates on earth in form of new Saint or Mystic and does His duty and get died.This cycle is going on from Abraham,through Moses,John, Christ,Simon Peter etc.There are more incarnations of God like Krishana,Shiva,Guru Nanak and his 9 successers,Buddha,Mahavir,Sheikh Farid,Sultan Bahu,Bulle Shah,Saint Kabir,Ravidas etc.

    How could I not worship a God who loves me so much that he chose to die for me, allowing himself to be killed despite having many easy opportunities to avoid it?

    Have a quick look at Matthew 27:41-44 (http://biblehub.com/matthew/27.htm) and Luke 23:35-43 (http://biblehub.com/luke/23.htm) for why Christians are probably taking you for a troll.

    I don't. Jesus died as a human. Was resurrected by God.

    Jesus chose to allow himself to be killed in this way, it was completely within his power to escape and or prevent it.
