Regards Grimesy

Real proof of death suitable to the age might be obtained by cutting off his head.

If his decapitated head started to mouth words of beatitudes after three days, then I would say there was something fundamentally different about this creature.  It wouldn't prove there was a god, or he was somehow the son, or that anything he actually say of himself was anything but bullshit, in fact  it wouldn't even begin to constitute evidence of any sort in that direction.  But it would show he is substantiallly different from normal humans.
