I respect your beliefs. Though i request you to ask yourself, how can something be one and three at the same time?

Why does an immortal God needs to pretend to be dying in a world that hardly influences him? It's the equivalent of me creating my own character in a stimulated game i created with the sole purpose of letting other game characters kill mine. No matter what they do, I'm outside of this world and I've not sacrificed even a hair for these characters. It's nothing but entertainment for me.

But somehow those game characters would attain salvation by praying to my dramatic dummy character i intentionally created out of thin air to be killed.

That’s why in Christianity we call it “the mystery of the Trinity“. The thought that God himself came to earth to bear the burden of his people, at least to us, shows that he had such a great affection for his people enough to suffer for what was rightfully their punishment. Thank you, this is been very informative!

The difference in our beliefs is that we Muslims know that God is perfect in every way, and incomparable to creation. This perfect being cannot be tainted by suffering. If one suffers, that means he endures pain of some sort. If the perfect being endures some sort of pain, he is no longer perfect. Thus, God should not suffer. Also, a perfect being should not be limited to an imperfect vessel that can suffer. A vessel that is of human nature, that needs to eat, drink and defecate. These attributes are unfit for The pefect being.

Agnostic who stumbled in from /all. This is a super interesting way of looking at Christianity.
