Depending on what your religion says. But in Christianity Jesus is a God.

Maybe in your branch of Christianity but not on this side of the world. If that were the case, does that mean that the God was crucified? I really am confused by this as I have never heard this God being referred to as Jesus or as them being one in the same.

Well, the Holy Trinity is divine, isn't it? So the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one. Christ is both man and god. As far as I know this is a farily standard concept in both Catholic and Orthodox confessions. I'm not so sure about the protestants though. Maybe for them it is different. Jeudaism does not recognize Christ as a god and neither does Islam (to them Isa was mere a phrophet, though an important one).
