If Jesus died how can he be God when God cannot die?

    Which is exactly why He, God, took on a human nature, so that He would be able to die a horrible death in atonement for our sins.

    Exactly.  Jesus: Half God, half human, all man.  The sooner Christians start believing what the Bible and other early Christian sources say, the better.

    Jesus is divine spirit, along with human body and human soul. When his divine spirit and human soul separated from his human body, he died. But, since God has ultimate power over death, Jesus shortly rose from the dead, never to die again.

    Jesus suffered the very same sort of death

    that we almost always mean when we speak of the death of someone.

    That is:

    he suffered the death of his mortal, human body.

    Even though Jesus was and is God

    when he walked the Earth he possessed a mortal, human body.

    When he died

    he did not suffer the death of his Divinity.

    The Romans were unable to kill that, of course. They were unable to kill God.

    Rather: he suffered the very same sort of death that we all suffer

    the death of his mortal, human body

    the same sort of death that we almost always mean when using the word "death".

    According to the Bible Jesus is a created being created by God he is God's son. After Jesus was risen from the grave God gave all power and authority to Jesus Christ.

    This scripture lets you know that Jesus is not the almighty God all power and authority was given to him by almighty God

    God was dead until some mouth breathing, knuckle dragging lunatics made it up.

    The Scriptures make it clear that Jesus was entirely human from his birth until his death.

     John did not say that the Word was merely clothed with flesh. He became flesh and was not part flesh and part God.

     If Jesus had been human and divine at the same time, it could not have been said that he had been made a little lower than angels.  Heb 2:9; Psalm 8:4, 5

    If Jesus had been both God and man when on the earth, why did he repeatedly pray to Jehovah?

    Only because Jesus was wholly human could he have experienced what imperfect people experienced.

      Those saying that Jesus was a God-man use various scriptures in an effort to prove that he is a member of Christendom’s Trinity, equal with God in essence, power, glory, and duration.

    But do not Jesus’ miracles prove that he was a God-man? No, for Moses, Elijah, Elisha, the apostles Peter and Paul, and others performed miracles without being God-men. 

     Like them, Jesus was a human who performed miracles with God-given power.

    Jehovah said: “Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none.” Jesus never claimed to be more than the Son of God. 

    Moreover, Christ said: “The Father is greater than I am.” John 14:28.

    It went something like this:

    Man 1: See Jesus over there? He's god!

    Man 2: Your "god" is dying on the cross.

    Man 1: Uhhh, he MEANT to do that! Yeah, that's the ticket!

    That’s because Jesus is God’s son not God. Jesus was transferred from a spirit person to fully human Philippians 2:7. For three days he was fully dead in the grave Sheol or hell. The god resurrected him to a superior position because he didn’t have it before Philippians 2:9. It doesn’t state god gave him back what he gave up. Roman 5:12 Jesus didn’t have two natures simultaneously he was fully human when he died
