Ans:God
(2)why must jesus die for our sin when he is the one that forgives,why not just forgive us and that is it.
Ans: at first Jesus was not necessarily the one that forgives, it was God. God was already regretting creating man because of our sinful nature and devil the accuser of the brethren was giving him reasons to and God in his perfect nature was unhappy with our imperfection so he said who will I send to redeem man thats when Jesus volunteered. The question God asked was more like who will prove to me that man was worth forgiving? So Jesus had to come in the flesh and not as a god so that he will feel all the pains that will feel. If you read your bible you notice that before Jesus was betrayed he was developing cold feet, that was just flesh speaking though he overcame and died for us but he proved to God that we humans want to do the right thing sometimes but our flesh ends up pulling us into doing wrong, that we are worth forgiving so God forgave us. Jesus is our intercessor, he quickly forgives us as a son mostly after going through a flesh as a human but God is supreme, he has to forgive us too, so thats why Jesus came to earth to give him reasons to forgive us.
(3)And i heard he eats and drink,which is not befitting to god to have urges of hunger and thirst.
Ans: Jesus was on earth as a god in a human body, he has to eat to sustain that body or the body will die and jesus will leave without completing his mission. The body feels pain, the body hungers and get thirsty, Jesus needed to experience all that for our redemption.
(4)lastly is jesus the God himself or is his son.
Ans: Jesus is not God himself but like he said if you have seen me then you have seen my father. Imagine a father and his firstborn son, the son will in most cases talk like the father, act like the father and believes in all his father's principles so when you see Jesus you have seen God because Jesus is the son that believes, understands and walks in his father's ways.
