It seems like the only point in him being born in a feeding trough and all that was to show how humble he was. except then his followers equate him to Yahweh, who was anything but humble.
How would being a king have not helped immensely? Why wasn't he born in a position where he could actually enact laws, instead of just preach the word?
I'd like to know the christian's thought to this. Try not to fall back on "god works in mysterious ways". That doesn't really explain anything.
Sorry, but the answer is mysterious ways.
You could similarly ask why if Jesus was supposed to change things and usher in the New Covenant that he only appeared to a small area on the globe for a short period of time, and why he didn't appear all over the place. There are two answers for this:
- Mysterious ways.
- Jesus and the previous Jewish traditions were only held by a small percentage of the world's population isolated to one general region, so of course all the stories happen there because they were spawned there.
