This is a great video DEAC. Except that when Jesus went to Earth he didn't carry with him heavenly knowledge. However, if he was so close to the Source of knowledge of the Universe then it could have been imparted to him. Instead of affecting a few hundred people in such a limited geographical area I would think that the Source of knowledge of the Universe could have given him far more wide-ranging knowledge.
The one thing that I did get out of this video is how Jesus' miracles were such an ego-centric manifestation to one person. All the miracles were done by the one man instead of having one man impart knowledge that could be reproduced by thousands for the good of millions throughout the rest of history. The latter scenario would be a better example of benefitting mankind.
The above post might be confusing as it suggests I personally believe Christ to be God incarnate (a very popular belief among Christians).
However, I do not believe that. I believe he was one of many Master Teachers who have lived among humankind going back for millenia (and including present day).
Thus no more "God incarnate" than any other human being.
"And many of those who are Christians disagree just as much with other denominations as they do with other religions."
Um... name one Christian denomination that disagrees with *any* point
of the Nicene Creed, which has been in existence since 325 AD.
