No need for HTML on this one, because.......the answers are the same. Jesus (fully man/fully God) authored this prayer for his disciples when asked how to pray. Pray to the Father. As to Jesus in the Garden prior to His crucifixion..fully human Jesus was asking the Father if it was His will to let the cup(crucifixion and subsequent separation from the Father) pass from him. He was completely human and fully God. He could have opted out, but didn't. He followed His Father will. Jesus as fully man/fully God did die. He was in human form because he was human. The scourging and crucifixion were bad, but the separation from God was the real price. As to the how: I got no idea how. But then I've read Job 38, especially this

2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge? 3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

There is more, but I am chastened by now. God's knowledge isn't man's. I'm satisfied that I'll know when I die or alternatively I likely won't care.
