From what I learned from my friends, Jesus performed as a human to forgive his people sins. Am I right? If yes, why should he do that? He's the god, right? So, he has the power to control his creation. He also has the power to forgive anybody he wants. I think, he should not perform as a human just to forgive the people sins...

It is hard to understand exactly what you are saying but if I understand you right Jesus is teaching by example. He is showing us how a human should behave. If you are saying it is God that should judge then Jesus is showing us that humans should forgive

Wouldnt it be better if God had sent some human to show that.
I for instance would have always have thaught that, forgiveness is a virtue not always possible to be followed by humans and Jesus not being a human could do it but a human being would have not forgiven theway god (Jesus as you believe him to be) did.

Jesus is fully human, a perfect human, capable of free-will as other humans are. Forgivenss is, as you correctly observe, a virtue and although it is always possible it is not always easy, which demonstrates the incredible perfection of Jesus.

God is a mystery where in we as human cannot fathom...Hes a great God for me..and it has proven it many time sin my life...regarding to your querry...yes its true He got all the power to forgive but He would like it in other way..in which people can really repent according to their conscience.. do you remember the time of sodom and gomorra?? He does forgive some of the people their and save them from the disaster He have created but the others He have pusnished..and He felt bad about it...that in the time of Jesus he did not want the people to be punished at once He want them to repent and choose since He have given us the free will...and would like to know of how great His creation be in aknowledging HIm as the creator..He has a forgiving heart and patience to wait us to recognize that we have abandoned Him..and be reconciled to our creator..

God gae us free will, he wanted us to choose to belive in him. He made a great sacrifice to show his love for us. He gave us the freedom to belive what we wanted to thus making it genuin. If you were told that you had to belive something becuase that is just the way it is how would you feel ?

When God created man He foresaw that man will fall and fail him, so God prepared man's redemption before He created us. Jesus came down from heaven as fully human so that we can relate to his suffering for our sins when he bore it on the cross. He forgives sin not as a human being but as a God who loved us first and foremost. He rose up on the third day to demonstrate that He is God, and that in Him we might live eternally. We as creation is the center of his affection and that we are to forever praise God for making us in his image and likeness.
