Question 1:How could God kill himself?.
Answer:
Have you seen the "Universal Soldier" film?
In it there is a computer that controls many diferent devices in the building of a company.Suddenly the computer gets crazy and commands a troop of cyborgs created by the company .But at an instant he transfers his information to a chip(cant remember if this was the method)that was putted in a cyborgs brain(a black guy).
He then BECAMES the cyborg himself and has a limited action.
This is NEAR what happens to Jesus(with some differences).
Unlike the computer God is good.God created a perfect body inside Marys womb from nothing.Then all of his spiritual essence went to that body.
Later it was the body (Gods material temple) that was destroyed and God repaired it(the ressurrection).
Question 2:Concerning Jesus atonishment.
Answer:Sin is like a virus.If you were infected by it you had to take a painful vacination.
Now suppose that there is not an antidote and that the virus is lethal.If someone loves you much he can touch you until the virus passes from you to him and die in your place.The salary of Sin is death.In the spiritual realm God take your sin and in the material the consequent punishment(death of Jesus).
Question 3:Why have we to believe it to receive salvation?
Answer:Because by faith we "actualizes" the salvation event to us in the spiritual realm.
Remember the story of the girl with a blood flux?
We need to put our sins on the cross .
Jesus gave us salvation but we have to receive it.
When we gave something to someone that person can accept or refuse it.
Its simple.

That is the most important and the central message of the bible.Believe it or not it is important to memorize it for the rest of your life.(Think about it and research it).When you research enough
you will see the Truth.Then you have to make a decision(receive Jesus or not).One of the many books you can read is Lee Strobels "In defense of Christ".The most important chapter is the last(which talks about the decision for Christ).The entire book is about evidences concerning Christ.It is selled in a local church.
