- clairity 5y agoi suspect a number of narcissistic christians secretly wonder if they're actually the second coming. it wouldn't surprise me if thiel were in that group.
- tomjakubowski 5y agoNow I'm curious: do the scriptures say when Jesus became self-aware, that he was (the son of) God?
- clairity 5y agofrom what (little) i remember, he was pretty self-aware in all of the bible that i read growing up. i'd guess a supreme being who wasn't really "born" would always have had self-awareness.
- tomjakubowski 5y agoHe's also human, and most of us do have to develop self-identity as children. That part of his life is mostly omitted from scripture though, as I recall. edit: Googled and remembered there's the episode where he goes wandering off from his parents, they find him in the temple, and he asks why they'd think he would be anywhere else but in his Father's (God's) house. So, well aware at least as a twelve year old. Luke 2:41-59
- serf 5y agoit's not expressed exactly when he realizes, but awareness of identity is demonstrated in John 8:58 and John 17:5.
- toofy 5y agoit’s been a while since i read anything biblical, but i think he convinced himself of this pretty early on. he told people to worship him pretty much right away.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoBeing a Christian usually doesn’t have much impact on how people behave. You can be super greedy, super generous, never cheat on your spouse, cheat all the time and so on. Somehow people find a justification for their behavior within their faith no matter what it is.
