          There was incredibly intense struggle session in early christianity about that. And the only options were a) he’s just god and b) he’s human and a god. No christian denomination think he was just a human, it would not be christianity anymore then.

          So yeah, he’s always a god, and not just any god but THE God, omniscient and omnipotent. And yes, they did noticed the fact if he was really omniscient there would be no need for Jesus at all, but those guys were declared heretics and majority of christianity just proceeded to happily ignore that paradox, like every other one.

          No… Wtf? I mean, yeah, the Gospels contradict each other, and stuff, but depending on the sect and in general therms, Jesus was never a normal man, only in the most gnostic of the gospels, Mark, which is the first one (historically) may interpret this thing, but the religious consensus is that Jesus is divine, not just a prophet like Moses, even if Jesus said that if Moses wasn’t real, he was for nothing. Spoiler:Moses never existed.

            Back when I was in Catholic indoctrination school, I was taught that Jesus was both completely god while also being completely a normal man. This is of course ridiculous, but Christians thought it made sense because muh god.

        I always thought in christianity he was just the son of god, lol.

        In Islam he’s the son of Mary and is a prophet, not god or the son of god or anything like that

          Yeah, it’s the same interpretation that a sect of ancient pre-orthodox Christians (we have to interpret Orthodox not as the Orthodoxy post great Schism) that were then persecuted and had to fly outside the Roman Empire to the Arabian Penninsula. The Gnostics had a similar fate, but I think that Gnostics were directly wiped out.
