[Timotheous]

What part of the old does an educated Jesus contradict?
Are you saying he wasn’t a genius?
And that he wasn’t a genius at 12?
And that the teachers didn’t recognise it?
And that they wouldn’t have wanted him in their schools?
And that Mary + Joseph wouldn’t have wanted that?
So why did a Sanhedrin member call him Rabbi + Doctor?
For fun? Why did every section of Jewish society call him Doctor? Just all being polite? Even his enemies??

I'm saying Jesus was God, and as such he did many things that the greatest human teacher or doctor could not do. In fact based on what I read, He did the exact opposite of what you would think he did. He did not go to the best schools and acquire prestige and stature in the country in the predictable human way. From what I read, his ministry was conducted mostly outside the human system. The human way to influence people is to rise up ever higher in the food chain until everyone knows you and you gain control of the usual levers of power. He came at the world from the level of the individual and never rose to power. It's what gives Him authenticity because it's so un-human. It's why I don't believe this new truth. It makes him too human.
