As far as Christians explain:
<b>God is not Jesus. God is Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Each Person completely possesses the SAME divine nature, which is why it is fitting to say: the Father is God, the Son (Jesus Christ) is God, & the Holy Spirit is God. Not 3 different gods, but 3 Persons in the One True God.
</b>
This is a spin off another thread:

According to this explanation, Jesus the human was put on the cross (however, he is also divine and possesses complete divine characteristics according to the above statement). Then why Jesus was saying:
Mathew: 27:45-50)
The Death of Jesus
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,[c] lama sabachthani?"—which means, "<b>My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?</b>"[d]
47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."
48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
The above mentioned set of verses actually raise many questions. However, I prefer to be focused on point by point for better presentation and understanding.
If Jesus was crying outloud to his god asking why he had foresaken him, taking in consideration that Jesus himself is both God and man together with the other icons of trinity. Then who made this decision of putting him on the cross? according to the statement he was not in agrement with it.
Who was the decision maker in this regard?
