Jesus is the SUN of man. The light of the world who gives his life for us. The sun gives us light and life on earth. Without the SUN nothing would live. No man owns the sun so they called it Gods Sun.
The 12 desciples are 12 signs of the zodiac.
The virgin Mary is the virgin Mare, Mare is the latin word for sea.
The four books are the four seasons.
It's why Christians say Amen after each prayer. Amen Ra is the ancient egyptian Sun god. Christianity is a re-hash of the ancient egyptian relgion created by Julias Caesar meant to unite the world with one religion.
Jesus or any characters in the bible never actually existed, it's pure astrology. Astrotheology.
Now as far as I know, to people who saw Jesus it was readily apparent that the body He inhabited was the body of a human being and not something else....and I don't believe that's ever been in dispute.

As it goes, some 2000 years ago God (or as I refer to Him, "Father") took on a material form here on Earth as the male offspring of a human being, a son of a member of mankind....or Son of Man, if you will.
Now as far as I know.

I never end my prayers with "amen". I usually end my talks with my Creator/Father with a "thank you" or maybe an "I love you".
I don't subscribe to religious rituals.

"Man born of woman" is a slightly redundant expression meaning "a man".
In the verse you're referencing, Jesus is comparing John with lots of other men "born of woman" and saying that John is the greatest of them. [...]
Not an insult.

Well, considering that Jesus never called himself that indicates pretty heavily that he saw John, even as the greatest of ordinary people, as a weaker, inferior person, certainly when compared to himself. Jesus was pretty good at this kind of back-handed compliment.

I cannot recall Jesus being referred to as the "son of man" in the bible.
actually he used that term quite a bit when referring to himself...
Matthew 12
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Wouldn't it be interesting if the translation is wrong .
All these years taken out of context , Perhaps what Jesus said was I am " A son of God " not " The son of God " .
The Essenes a Tribe/Group many surmise Jesus originated from literally called them selves " Son's of God " .

Well, according to the story, Mary and Joseph didn't have sex. She was visited by an angel and them she got pregnant.
So Jesus was the product of some sort of artificial insemination and that makes him not 100% human.

An interesting idea, but if Jesus was incarnated many times and saved all those species using the same modus, it would be lots of re-sacrificing of Christ going on.
I'm fairly sure that would be contrary to the "once and for all" nature of his sacrifice as noted in; Romans 6:9-10, Hebrews 7:27, Hebrews 9:24-28, Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:14 and 1 Peter 3:18, 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Also Jesus became sin at the Crucifixion and therefore to be sacrificed at other times, he could not be 'sinless' at those other sacrifices. 2 Corinthians 5:21
Also in Acts 4:12 it says that no one can be saved by any name except by Jesus (but it also has a few qualifiers).
But an interesting thought, none the less.
