Why do we have to suffer physical and emotioanl pain?
Why did He create us in the first place?..If we (our souls) are already part of Him or connected to HIm why did he make us atomic?..Why didnt He just keep us with Him?
Is Jesus God?..and do you have to accept Him as the one true Savior the only possible way to reconcile our souls with God after death in order to avoid permenant seperation from God?

If you never felt physical or emotional pain, how could you be happy or sad? How would you know the difference between right and wrong? You cannot have righteousness without sin, light without darkness, right without wrong, pleasure without... pain.
God created man as a companion to God, that is why we were created "in the image of God". This is also how Ibliss became satan, by refusing to bow to man, as God had instructed.
We were with God in a non-atomic form, that is until Adam and Eve transgressed.
Jesus is a Gift of knowledge and wisdom given to mankind by God.(Divenly created at that) However Jesus was not God.
I will assume you are reffereing to something like John 14 - 6:
Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
This is true, however it is not through Jesus as an individual, it is through what Jesus taught us and what Jesus represents. Jesus taught us God's One True Commandment: "Thall shall Love". Without Love you cannot enter Heaven. I will do another copy and paste straight from my book to show how Love is covered in all Ten Commandments, not overwriting them, but supporting them hand-in-hand
I have to give a short version as it is way too long to post here)
. One might ask How can there only be one True Commandment then? Well let us look at the Ten Commandants in the Old Testament, and I will explain to you how each Commandment still falls under Gods one True Commandment.
Thou shall have no other Gods before me. If you truly Love God, how could you possibly worship another?
Thou shall not make unto me any graven image. Do you know what God looks like? NO you do not. Therefore any image that you create of God is a not only a transgression against God, but a terrible sin. If you Love God, you would not try to create a Likeness of Him, because any image that you create, could never be truly of God.
Thou shall not take the name of thy God in vain. What does this mean? Jesus had sated that you cannot go to hell for what you put in your mouth,(This is a reference to certain foods that some religions feel that you should not eat) but you can go to hell for what comes out of your mouth. Sometime in your life you may have heard someone angry say god damnit or jesus christ, these are examples of using Gods name in vain. Although Jesus is not God, this is still a transgression against God, as you are swearing against a Prophet of God, which He had given to mankind as a Gift. So if you truly love God, then you would not curse or swear against Him.
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it Holy. As mankind was created in the image of God and God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh, so shall you work for up to six days and rest on the seventh. This Commandment is widely misunderstood, however it does fit firmly inside of Gods Plan for mankind.(See Gods Plan, to explain this further) This would fall under Loving thyself as God did not intend for mankind to constantly work everyday that he is on Earth. So if you truly love yourself then do not work yourself right into a grave.
Honor thy father and thy mother. It is through them that God created you. If you truly Love your neighbor,(Mother and father fall under the category of neighbor as they are people that you exist around) would you rebel and go against them?
Thou shall not kill. WRONG! This IS NOT a Commandment of God. This has been changed and perverted by mankind, the correct Commandment that belongs here is Thou shall not murder. There is a huge difference between killing and murdering. If you truly love your neighbor, then you would not murder him.
Thou shall not commit adultery. I had mentioned earlier that the only power satan has over mankind is temptation, and this is a classic example of it. When you lust after anothers husband or wife and you commit adultery, you do nothing more then bow to satan and give in to his temptation. If you truly Love your neighbor then why would you commit adultery against him?
Thou shall not steal. If you Love your neighbor, would you illegally take his possessions?
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. An awesome teaching of the Quran is that sinners hate the truth and righteous people love the truth.(I must apologize as I cannot find the exact SURAH that states that, however it is the feeling I get from the Quran on that matter) If you love your neighbor would you lie to him, or against him?
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor. Jealousy, another temptation of satan, is constantly wanting what your neighbor has and you do not have. You cannot Love your neighbor when you are constantly coveting what he has.
As you can see Gods one True Commandment falls in line with all the commandments that God gave mankind through Moses. God could have simply written Thou Shall Love on a stone tablet. But truly how could the people understand Gods Intent, when even today, thousands of years later, most of mankind still does not truly comprehend Love? The Ten Commandments were Gods way of trying to teach mankind how to Love, unfortunately today this is still misunderstood.
