Fallen, a spirit-only savior could be a guide. That is true. However, a spirit-only savior would lack the authority of someone with actually field experience. A human savior has both theoretical and practical experience. But I also agree Christianity is not original in this respect. Buddha also seems to qualify as one who "overcame" human weakness, but my understanding of that tradition is limited.
