Why did God choose to be a man?

Yet, the Bible tells us God does not/cannot die so how did Jesus' death equalize anything?

His body died for a short time, which is all that happens to us. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed.

So we are like God?

And this?

"the soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:4

Well, Jesus is talking about how Israel is now abandoned by God due to her rejection of Him. And she will not see him until she recognizes Him as her Messiah. (Matt. 23: 38-39)

My point again was, just because Jesus said 'as a hen' doesn't make Him a chicken. Just as in (Is. 66:13, the use of 'As a mother' doesn't make God feminine.

If you hear it from god, then believe it. If from people, use your own judgment.
And if Jesus considered all people his equals, that included women.
My father shared with the household chores and consulted mom on most decisions.

You're confusing fear with trepidation.

Because the bible is only half true, giving humanity the choice what parts to believe.

And which half is true and which half is false? And where did you get that idea? Another bird shit on your shoulder?

And who determines which half is true and which half is not...you?

We all get to choose what parts ring true and which parts are too negative.

In other words you don't have slightest idea of what you are talking about.

The Bible is not a buffet where we can pick and choose...

To you too unless you believe Jesus was a chicken.

No, I believe Jesus was telling us in the Kingdom of God, we are as protected as chicks under our mother's wing.

Of course, it is because far too much of it is contradictory.

That's up to you to decide. If I make sense, then consider it, if not, then don't.

I have decided, as you have proven, you don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. If you did, you would be able to answer the questions.

If we are living in a giant computer simulation, like many physicists and philosophers have speculated, then "God" is likely a super geek, which typically would be a male. Or many years ago, AI already took over a civilization, eliminated the humanoids, and created this universe for its amusement. That might not be "ancient history" as our very perception of history may be an illusion created by the simulation.
