He came specifically to die for our sins. That was His purpose. He did obey God in everything and as such He is definitely our example of being one with the Father. He was, however, God, before, during and after the incarnation. He was fully God and fully man.
Dying for our sins was not the only reason Christ became a man. He had to learn how to succor them that are tempted (see Hebrews 2:18). He also grew in stature and wisdom (see Luke 2:52) There were other works given to Him by the Father.

If you think these "temptations" and "works" were for his purpose so he could achieve your version of the godhead, you seriously misunderstand who Jesus was/is and what his purpose was.

I agree with the Bible and what Jesus said. He also said:
(New Testament | Luke 13:31 - 32)

31 ¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

That's not his mission statement; he didn't come to be "perfected" in the way you want to use that meaning. The meaning of that passage has already been explained to you numerous times. Repeating your misinterpretation of it will not make it more true for you.

This, in a nutshell, is what Jesus' mission was:
Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

The passage you quoted is Jesus telling the Pharisees that his mission will be completed on that third day.

Jesus did not come for just one reason as some people may assume. Although the main reason was to take on the sins of the world by proxy, He came to earth for many reasons one of which was to preach the gospel. He was also the first to be resurrected. He was an example of how His brothers and sisters should live. He also came to heal the sick:

(New Testament | Luke 4:18 - 19)

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Perhaps you don't understand what a "nutshell" is.

Perhaps you do not understand that Jesus has a spiritual resurrected body because He was born on earth. It was part of His progression to be tempted and overcome that temptation. He said:

(New Testament | John 16:33)

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


You said: "The meaning of that passage has already been explained to you numerous times." That was an erroneous meaning. That scripture was translated correctly. Jesus is our brother and God is His Father and His God. We can also be heirs of the Father with Him:

(New Testament | John 20:17)

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

(New Testament | Romans 8:16 - 17)

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
