      I mean, I figured it was more a case like Hercules where he’s half god and thus is human with superpowers.

        In the middle ages you would have burned at the stake for that heresy!
        Jesus isn’t half God, half man. He’s all God and all man, and there’s only one God.
        Therefore he’s also his own son, and he had to truly die (but only for 3 days) as a sacrifice to himself, to convince himself to forgive you for being the way he created you.
        Then he came back for a bit before his human body physically rose up to heaven, where he sits at his own side.
        But he’ll come back again very, very soon. He just didn’t get around to it in over 2000 years.
        Get it right!

          Well… he was made to be, for political reasons …after he died. I think the 1st council of nicea, 3rd century? Too lazy to look it up to be sure but Wikipedia has the transcript.

          In the middle ages you would have burned at the stake for that heresy!

          And ancient Judaism worshipped a mountain god creating spring water.

          Look… It’s only 1030 am here. I should not be as drunk as that explanation would require to understand at this time of day.
