God is really the in - charge of all of us. He loves us the best way. We can give love to people but we can never mimic His LOVE

Why would we need to? We can very easily surpass it.
Crucifixion is a brutal way to die- have you ever wondered HOW it actually kills you? It's not the exposure or the bleeding, or even the dehydration; it's inability of the body to properly cycle oxygen, since you can't move your arms below your head- you essentially suffocate in slow motion. Typically, it takes 24 hours at a minimum- Jesus died in six. Further, He'd already resurrected several people, so whatever the nature of His relationship with Yahweh, He knew it was possible- He got a sped-up nasty death, and was brought back two days later.
He sacrificed His weekend.
Let's compare Him with a human: specifically, Maximillian Kolbe. Kolbe was an inmate in Auschwitz at the time of the outbreak, in response to which the Nazis decided to take ten hostages and lock them in a room with no food or water for ten days, leaving them to brutally die of starvation. One who was chosen began begging for mercy, citing that he had a family; Kolbe stepped up and volunteered to go in his place, since he was a Catholic priest and had none. He was taken instead. Ten days later (remember, humans need water every 3- the room was opened, and Kolbe was found still alive, though very weak, and the last one left. The Nazis, moved by his survival, promptly... injected carbolic acid directly into his veins. Kolbe, being a priest, naturally had faith in divine mercy, but no knowledge; not like Jesus did.
He sacrificed his life.
He also didn't spend the entirety of his career boasting about how awesome he was. Jesus could stand to learn a thing or two from him.

@Rabscuttle CRUCIFICATION was the practice of execution back then. And JESUS CHRIST was THE SINLESS LAMB. He was Sinless Sacrificial Lamb. Other people are always under the effect of sin.
So comparing scenarios is out of context here.

@Rabscuttle Sin runs in our veins from Adam and Eve.

@emyphant The Lake of Fire is for anyone who has rejected Christ's sacrificial love and provision for salvation. That goes for any soul. It's not about being clean enough. The Bible says we can never earn our way to heaven. That's because we cannot measure up to God's perfect holy standards. Only he can do that. That's why we need to go to him for salvation. We have that sinful nature so we cannot save our own selves. This is why we need Jesus.

If your children reject your love would you light them on fire? No, it's horrifying to think anyone would do that. But you claim this being of pure love does that. Then it doubles down and keeps them burning forever.
I would say your god is sick.

Love is a action or feeling , saying GOD loves all of us that can be misleading to some and a misunderstanding.
