The difference between him and Lincoln is that he's supposed to serve/be a higher power that can see into the far future, or have knowledge beyond any human being and can see that things like equality can work. Women can be equal to men. People of different color can be just as good as each other if they truly have the same opportunities. There are better ways of dealing with people who do wrong than to just kill them all. That adults should be able to do whatever they want without persecution, as all as all parties are consentual.Let me ask you this. If jesus had not become the focus of a religion, would it alter your view at all?
Basically, things that took us thousands of years to figure out, he should have already known. You can't compare Jesus to Lincoln.
The question is not whether he was good enough to make it reasonable to suspect he was divine. It is simply was he ahead of the curve. I think he was.
