Yes he is. He is the human incarnation of God himself, because as almighty and all knowing as God is, he did not understand the human experience and especially why humans abused their gift of free choice. God didn’t have an understanding of how far, good or bad humans would choose to go, either by their own choices or pressure from their peers. Through Christ he gained 1st hand experience and in Christ’s death forgave us for our sins, because truly humans can act in awful ways when they certainly do not know what they are doing. What the long term implications can bring/be of any given choice.
That’s why instead of continued punishment from God or just up and wiping the human slate clean…. again, he left us with all of our faults and issues to decide on our own to make our free choice to try to follow Christ’s teachings regarding ourselves to our best ability, or not period.
Eternity or Heaven’s Earth/Garden awaits for those that do their best. Those that fail, I’m guessing go to Hell, or get to do the rough and tough love version of Earth all over again.
It's not that God "didn't understand" the human experience. We could have not sinned but we all have, and through Adam we have.
He came as Jesus with the intent from the beginning, even as foretold in Old Testament prophecies, to die for our sins. The decision was not made on-the-spot or because of any observations.
But that’s exactly what Christ did, made a more intimate, in person 33yr observation of us at our best and our most horrible. Christ learned why we are so stupid or careless, and also so kind too, with free choice. That’s why he said, “Forgive them Father. For they know not what they do.” And many times we truly don’t.
Christ already knew. Humans could not have.
