You're missing a point here - WHO SAYS Jesus was God Incarnate.  Why, you do, and the Bible
(a conflicting, HUMAN AUTHORED document).  Why do you believe the Bible is the True Word,
and others are not?  Other beliefs have been around FAR longer than Christianity, and are
just as unprovable.  Who are you to say THEY are wrong, and YOU are right?

Rather proud of you (that's a Sin, BTW).

I'd ask what's more important, the message or the messanger?  Is it the
message that Jesus of Nazereth brought that is important, or who you claim
him to be?  Is the message only of importance because of who it is from, or
because there is something inherent in it that is valuable?

Yes;-)  The message is most important, because it finally reveals God's true nature.
And although the following may sound circular, I think it makes sense.  What makes
Jesus so special and that He alone has the final revelation from God?  The answer is
because He *was* God incarnate (how conveeenient, I know:)  But it does make sense that
*only* He could know God the way He did because He was in fact God.  A paradox for
sure, but there you have it.

That is why I can fully believe in His words.  Other prophets are conduits and are
subject to human error and fallibility.  Jesus was unique.  I am not necessarily
negating other prophets and their messages (unless they actively deny Jesus' deity).
