ok i'm hearing a lot of thoughts and i'm sorry to say that most of them didn't help or answer my questions at all. i appreciate the effort though.
i've put these posts and conversations with other people and what i did get (i think) is this: christ was sent down to tell us about god and such and also was sent down to die so we would be cleansed of sin since man is born with sin at birth. jesus was god's man part (half man half divine i think) and he sacrificed himself so man could get into heaven. i also think the reason jesus was running away at first (if he actually was) was his heart was on the wrong track or something because he was praying to his father "why don't you give me the strength to do this" or something along the lines so he knew he had to do it but he wasn't ready yet which is why when he is about to get whipped he says "my heart is ready father"
and another thing i think made clear is that jesus gave his life because he knew life on earth wasn't everything and then he came back anyways to prove heaven and such.
one thing i don't understand is when jesus was on the cross he said "forgive them father they know not what they do." if jesus was sent down to die for us then why would he ask his father to forgive them? they both already knew it would happen too.
