Look, it’s quite simple. You even admit it, albeitly with metaphysical excuses, that Jesus died.

Therefore, if Jesus was G-d, then G-d died.

G-d cannot die, ergo... Jesus wasn’t G-d.

Q.E.D.

Your conception of God is anthropomorphized. God can do anything.

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. - Isaiah 55:8-9

Anthropomorphisms of God are broken cisterns:

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. – Jeremiah 2:13

God's Name is I AM - and Alpha and Omega.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. – Revelation 1:8

I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. - Revelation 1:18

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. – Revelation 22:13

Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. – John 1:1

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.

For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.– Colossians 1:15-20

To God be the glory!

God can do anything.

Sorry but you are very wrong.

Aside from the theological ideas of whether or not God can override free will, the Bible clearly states a couple limits of God:

God cannot lie, God cannot be tempted, God cannot be seen by man (he is invisible!)

Tts 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Jam 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

hn 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

1Jo 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

I agree with most of what you say. I would submit, respectfully, that God cannot do anything. He cannot lie. He cannot dispense His mercy at the expense of His justice. He cannot travel (He is omnipresent). He cannot change. He cannot sin. Finally, God; cannot do anything contrary to His devine nature.

These may seem like minor points, but they are worth noting.

You pinged me because you thought I was looking too calm and relaxed, right?
