@TOO- He did sacrifice part of himself. If you picure it like a person, God the Father would be from the neck up. God the Son would be from the neck down left side. God the Spirit would be from the neck down right side. Now what if each of those 3 sections had a mind and a will of their own. The only whole way to function is to be of unified purpose and mind. They were also all three intrinsically aware of each other as they were all connected. Jesus didn't really go anywhere because he's coming back. So it's like you voluntarily allow 1/3 of your body to suffer tremendous grief, pain and emotion and the tumultuousness of actually living on the planet just to get a message to us. Is that an imagery you can make sense of?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
