A Religious Conundrum

The conundrum takes place when the actual question is difficult to answer. For example, whether or not you should lie about cheating on your spouse is not a moral conundrum; but whether or not you should lie so that your spouse feels better about the way he looks might be a moral conundrum.

So, what is this religious conundrum?
If God is a God of Love, then why would God make a point of exposing us to sin?
Was our exposure to sin necessary in order for us to exercise our FREE WILL?
But, there is also a problem with that because Jesus abandoned his FREE WILL to die on the cross...  assuming that the story is actually true.
Conclusion:  if you do have free will and decide not to obey God's will, are you still religious?

The other religious conundrum is if God-Jesus-Holy Spirit are one in the same, was Jesus really HUMAN, even though he lived on earth as a human?  
If he was not human, then was his crucifixion really painful?
Why has God not put part of his body into other humans?
Why just once?

But, the biggest conundrum is if Jesus was not human, then what was he?
Could he have been an EXTRATERRESTRIAL?
What we refer to as an ALIEN?
I mean...  think about heaven...  where is heaven located exactly?
In outer space?
The universe?
If we make the assumption that heaven is located in the universe, then where exactly?
The universe is a pretty damn big place...

If man was created in God's image...  then, we can assume, that God looks like us...  we can also assume that God has two sides...   Good/Evil...   Ying/Yang...
Perhaps, this is why there is both good and evil on earth...  because we were created in God's image?
However...
this is all speculation because God has chosen not to let us know the TRUTH...  He is withholding information from us intentionally.
Why?
We don't like it when politicians withhold information from us, but it is ok for God to withhold information...
and, with that in mind, we are still supposed to obey his will?
For me...  that is a huge conundrum...
