Can a slug be God?

[Kingpin]

Well..you're right in that I'd say that's a bit of a cop out, because it seems like you're saying that Jesus can both die and not die because a God isn't limited by our understanding of reality or our limitations.

We are getting in to very heavy and abstract concepts that are difficult to grasp.  The Bible says that Jesus died for the sins of all.  So one could argue that his death was necessary.  Yes, God condemned his creation and then elects to "save" creation by sending his own self down in bodily form to pay the price that he demanded to himself.  We will equivocate the whys of that statement forever.  But if this is the concept then Jesus death was a choice and not an example of a limitation.
