I think your comments are rude, nasty, and uncalled for. This is meant to be a discussion on religion, not intended for infantile efforts to be a smart Alex.

Jesus was not just a great teacher. He wanted people to ask themselves the question 'Who is He?' Among the disciples, Peter, a fisherman from Galilee, seems to have had the awareness fairly early on that Jesus was no ordinary man, particularly when he saw Jesus was able to calm a storm, and find huge catches of fish when all the fishermen had given up.
But, more than any one thing which Jesus did, was the sense that he gave to Peter of God's presence; and so, when one day Jesus asked the disciples, 'Who do you say that I am?' , Peter answered, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God?'
When we become the friends of Jesus Christ, therefore, we become friends of God, because Christ is the Son of God, God become man.
However, the disciples did not see this very clearly before the death of Jesus and his resurrection; even when they saw a vision of Christ in glory on Mount Tabor, together with the old prophets Moses and Elijah, they still did not understand.
