We don't consider Jesus as ascribing a partner to God or the Holy Spirit for that matter. That is why we consider God one. Now if we held that same view of Jesus that you do, than that Jesus would be ascribing a partner to Him. But our Jesus is much different than yours. He is the Word of God Himself.
Yes, Jesus took a subordinate role to the Father, because he was spirit made into to flesh to relate to us. God create us, and He desired to relate to us in a very special way that we could understand. I would kneel to talk to a child so we could look at each other eye to eye. It might be hard for you to see a God that loves us that much, but it is not for us Christians. Jesus loves us so much that He would rather go to hell with us than go to heaven without us. Our God is committed to us and we have a confidence that is unparalleled. I believe it makes those who don't receive Christ as Lord of their life jealous of us.

We are god's creation...not his children.
we are on earth to worship and recieve our creator....not the creation. when i pray, it is Allah (SWT) that hears me, not Jesus (AS). When i ask for something, i ask it of Allah (SWT) not Jesus.
When anybody is in danger, or fears death approaching, they reach their hands up in the sky and ask for God's (Allah's) mercy or help...but the minute the danger passes, they thank Jesus (AS). When people are in dire straits they say, 'oh god what am i going to do...' but then when things clear up...Jesus (AS) saved me! Your instincts say one god, but your taught to associate partners with him. They ask Jesus (AS) to save them and forgive their sins, when it is Allah (SWT) that accepts repentence.
2:109 Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent
2:116 They say, "Allah has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient to Him
Allah (SWT) gave us the capacity to reason and think logically. At this time in human development, we have the ability to somewhat understand astronomy, biology, mathmatics, and so on. What is it about religon that Allah (SWT) had to water down for us? Why is it that the nature of the universe does not have to be dumbed down for us...but religon does. I am not helpless to save my self by asking Allah (SWT) for his mercy, his forgiveness, and his guidance.
There are some people that would never believe in the greatness of God. If the heavens opened up, and angels started singing, they wouldn't believe. If God showed them miracle after miracle they wouldn't believe. They would only belive once death took them...and now they are facing a life of eternal ****ation for their disrespect of God's Laws and his messengers. tell me how people like that deserve paradise?
You talk of kneeling down to talk to your child to see him eye to eye....would you cut the head off of your best, obedient child so his blood could save the life of your possessed one? How blood sacrifices didn't become sunnah in your religon, i have no idea! How is it that courts today don't find the innocent guilty and sentence them to the punishment that the criminals deserve....to save the criminals.
Jesus loves us so much that He would rather go to hell with us than go to heaven without us.
i'd like to see the bible passage for that one...
Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: but if any of you after that resisteth faith I
will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on anyone among all the
peoples.
And behold! Allah will say "O Jesus the son of Mary! didst thou say unto men
`worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah"? He will say: "Glory to
Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing Thou
wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart though I know not
what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say to wit
`Worship Allah my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I
dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up thou wast the Watcher over
them and Thou art a Witness to all things.
"If Thou dost punish them they are Thy servants: if Thou dost forgive them Thou art
the Exalted the Wise.
Surah Al Madia 5:116-116
