Knowledge of Him may be new to us, but Jesus is the same yesterday, 2day and always...(hebrews)
l will say that this is a very interesting topic *props*
As far as the issue of him being "bodily-ressurected" as you know it is highest response of the Christian faith and the highlight mark of the Bible, throughout.
Aqil, if you believe God formed the body from dust, then why is the physical ressurection so hard for you to fathom?
Why would it be impossible for God to ressurect the body??
l believe he was taken up in the clouds as was written, but Christ gave them their mission on the earth, not in the sky (Matthew 28:18-20).
Jesus's "intense spirit", "independent mind" and "powerful personality" impacted all frames of minds to some highest degree, like no other... (also his miracles).
the things you say are not "new" thoughts or "new" perspectives about Jesus anyway. We know of Jesus's tactical and often humorous dialogues with the Pharisees. That's not new.
those who doubt the 2nd coming is definitely not new- the Saducees in the bible did that.
None of the ideologies that you have mentioned are new.
l would agree that Jesus was well-versed in other cultures only b/c my faith is that He is God in the flesh... but that is another topic.
l haven't studied Nazareth, but l believe there's some knowledge to be found.
l may disagree on most of the things you've said, but l think this is a great topic
