but yes that would be true-ish ( though extremely over simplified ) .. but he was a poor man ( I said was ) who did do both little and big miracles and he is right here ! ..

so that works too!

But still if I drop that into the ancient ways and ancient paths ..
well natives will get it.

Exactly !!

And the Hindu person will counter with the same sentiments. According to his faith, he would not consider Jesus as God no matter how you try to convince him. He will consider you, lacking the basic knowledge of theology, just as you think he lacks basic theology.

So it comes back to my original post. We do NOT have a universal frame of reference where EVERYONE agrees as to what and who God is?

And since we don't have that frame of reference, we can't use any proof or evidence of God.
You can't define and agree on what something is, how can you prove it's existence?

You can prove the existence of Jesus, and the Hindu person will agree with it, but when you say, Jesus is God, then it goes down the hill from there.

But yes indeed, there is no problem when someone claims that Jesus is the God in Christian faith. There is no argument in that.

Quoting your bible to an atheist is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
