Is child birth more painful than being crucified? If so wouldn t that make all mothers akin to Jesus Christ?

Not at all. While childbirth is bad enough, crucifixion was one of the most horrific methods of torture ever devised. It was so bad, in fact, that the Romans, not known for their compassion, eventually banned it for being too cruel.

Jesus was fully human and fully divine, tempted in all ways as the rest of us are.

A great many people have been crucified -- it was not only Jesus, and it continues today in the Middle East, where the barbarians crucify those with whom they disagree. As to Christ, it was an ignoble, degrading death for the most noble of us. And yet death could not hold him. He arose in triumph over sin and death and the devil.

Christ is Risen!

Child birth is quite painful, but it's survivable. Crucifixion is 100% fatal. The pain from kidney stones is akin to the pain of child birth.

Jesus WAS human when his life was sacrificed, or there would be no salvation for us:

"But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ." - Romans 5:15 (NLT)

If you really think that Jesus Christ came as God, rather than as a flesh-and-blood human, you have been deceived by an antichrist, as described in 2 John 7:

"Many people who deceive others have gone into the world. They refuse to declare that Jesus Christ came in flesh and blood. This is the mark of a deceiver and an antichrist." - 2 John 7 (GWT)

I have gone through childbirth, and it is no picnic. But you get a precious baby when you are done. Getting crucified has to be worse.

If a person suffers more than Jesus - if that is possible - it is because they deserve to suffer more than him

You have to remember that Jesus was true God and true man. One did not cancel out the other.

Pain is pain and it has gradations. Crucifixion is basically death by suffocation-drawn out for hours. Childbirth can go on for hours, but one usually survives it and pain medication is available.
