I'm not sure...but it seems WnbSlaveOfAllah, that you haven't come across some basic christian doctrines..if i could recommend you, you could visit:
religion facts about christianity (don't worry, it's nonchristian side) and check the part about doctrin (God, Trinity and Jesus); or
re-jesus site (that's christian side, but very "open-minded")
back to your question:
Our God is eternal, but once in history one person of Trinity (=God) incarnated, that is became human (and still was fully God), was angry, hungry, suffered, died, and was resurrected. That's the very core of our faith.
even when i wasn't christian i felt drawn to Jesus. But today I feel somehow closer to God, knowing that He also suffered and died. It allows me (it's just my pov) to answer somewhow "suffering question".
I know it's not an answer sensu stricto! but...
When i go to church and see Jesus on the cross, i stop asking this question. It's looks to me, as if He was saying: "shhh child. You won't understand. But I went through it all. And you aslo will". And i surrender...
