There is no Jesus was God but that Jesus is God.
Do you really believe that when Christ was crucified that God died?
God did not die and cannot die because he is eternal as you stated.
If someone were to kill you, you would be physically dead, but your spirit will continue. Now, JESUS as God dod not die. What is true life?
Jesus said." John 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
He also said." John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Also."Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Just because Jesus died physically his spirit is eternal. and that is life.John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Call upon the Lord and receive the Holy Spirit who will dwell in you and you will know the truth about the Deity of Christ.
John 16:13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
God Bless you my friend!
