If jesus was god, how could he die?

all that died was the human shell and then it came back...this story makes no sense....how did this save man? jesus knew he was coming back...

Answer

Excellent point. Jesus was a man, not divine on earth. Saying he was fully divine on earth unwittingly denies the ransom, for he could not fully die then.

Jesus volunteered to cancel Adam's sin. "By sinning, Adam lost the precious possession of perfect human life. Hence, he could not pass it on to his offspring. Instead, he could pass on only sin and death. Jesus, whom the Bible calls “the last Adam,” had a perfect human life, and he never sinned. (1 Corinthians 15:45) In a sense, Jesus stepped into Adam’s place in order to save us. By sacrificing, or giving up, his perfect life in flawless obedience to God, Jesus paid the price for Adam’s sin. Jesus thus brought hope to Adam’s offspring.—Romans 5:19; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22."

I agree with you that Trinitarianism, Jesus being God, is goofy. But notice my reply if you will, or my blog. Thanks.
