Quasi Christ?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Do you mean the New Testament or the Gospels?  In the Gospel of John Jesus
obliquely lays claim to divinity twice.  In the other Gospels he is
reticent.  It is fairly clear the the historical Jesus, if there was such a
person, did not go around trumpeting himself as a divine being.

In the remainder of the New Testament, however, both the redemptive effect
of the crucifixion and Jesus's divine nature are regularly discussed.
