Is it egotistical to think that a God would die for you?

I never answered the thread title. Uh, yes it absolutely fucking is. The idea that we're the special ones, that we're the ones the Earth revolves around is egotistical and ignorant. All we are is an annoying-ass disease to the Earth. We've only been here for literally 0.004% of the Earth's history. We're nothing to it. There's no reason the universe revolves around humans.

God comes down AS Jesus to die on a cross. In another sense, God sends Jesus, who willingly performs the task. Jesus exists in unison with God, he is not an celestial being doing him a favor.
Jesus is fully human and divine. Being human, Jesus lives a full human life as the son of Mary. He is also the revelation of God himself. That is why Jesus calls himself a 'Son of God' as well as the 'Son of Man'. He is where the human meets the divine and brings them together again by conquering the sin that set them apart.

Okay, so they're not the same thing.

Yup. I was just trying to make my reply compatible to what Greatest said. He wanted to talk about God and Jesus as different people, so I went along with it, since they ARE different natures of one person.

If they are different natures of the same thing, Jesus would not be able to be his own independent person.
