That statement shot over your head. Let me see if I can simplify it so you'll understand it.
.
God can't suffer. A roman soldier can no more hurt a god than I can with my 45 long colt. To suffer you must experience something you wish not to experience, where as a god who creates all he experiences, only can experience that which he chooses to experience. While a human my choose to suffer for a cause, they do not choose the components of the suffering such as birth pain. A nerve signal, an evolutionary survival trait to avoid injury, has no effect on a god. God did not suffer, ever. A god does not fear.
Hell is often apologized as "a place without god", so god could not suffer in hell, there is nothing about hell that could hurt a god either.
So instead of posting more laughing smileys, explain to us how your claim that god sacrificed and suffered for us makes any sense.
oh, noes brakeman doesn't want me to use smileys (I hope that doesn't include the panic emoti or the frownie face.
As far as the explaination your looking for it can be found in the Fact that Christ set his deity aside to be man. Everything He did Peter attributed to the Holy Spirit, in acts 10:38
