RE: How so? Without his teachings, he’s just another carpenter.
I gather you are not a Christian. If he were simply a teacher, then he’s no different from any other teacher out there who ever taught people to observe the golden rule.
The fact that HE IS GOD makes His teaching authoritative. Other than that, we have no reason to observe all of His teachings.
Why not listen to Mohammad instead?
The wisdom of CS Lewis escapes the intellectuals: Jesus could not make the claims He made and not be Whom He claimed to be, unless He would be insane on par with a man who claimed to be a poached egg; Jesus is Whom He claimed to be or He is nothing more than insane, not wise.
I might add that if He came out of that tomb, then He has my loaylty to His Person as He claimed ... and it is not difficult to show that He indeed came out of that tomb and is Alive forever more.

HE IS GOD
All there was "in the beginning" was God. God had nothing out of which to create all this than God. So what else is there?If your conception of God is merely a God "out there", then I think your God is too small.
Is God Infinite or not? If not, what are the limits of (and/or on) God?
