Jesus was not just a mere man George, the Bible undisputedly tells us so. " all the fullness of God dwelt in Him, says Col. 1:19.
There are no conspiracies about God. Only different interpretations.
Titus 2:13 says
New International Version (NIV) 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Jesus Himself said" I am the Beginning and the End", that means He is the One that exists always and He is the One that started it all. Either we can believe the Bible or we can believe that the Bible is full of mistakes. The truth is that the Bible is the word of God. The Trinity evolved as believers saw the Spirit of God and the Image of God (the Son) operating on humans as One God. The coming of Christ was a significant event by which all got a relief from their sins, when they accepted Christ as Savior and God in flesh. On a personal level there is nothing preventing me from believing that Jesus was just a man. But George, I met Christ in the lowest point in my life and He made me whole again. I did not go looking for Him. He found me. So this person Jesus whom Saul persecuted and who appeared to him, still is present in my life and occasionally says,
I Am Jesus, Whom You Persecute (Acts 9:1-9
Yes, sometimes by my words and deeds and by not doing and saying what is not right, I do persecute him. Just because we do not understand the greatness of God, we cannot say God can't be in a human form and live on earth. Jesus is not a conspiracy. God is One. In Him is perfection and peace. Jesus is God in flesh , so that I choose to believe for eternal life. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The Son is not a separate entity, He is God Himself revealed to us in the name of the Son, Jesus. So believing in Jesus is in believing the One God who manifests in all of Nature.
Isaiah 9:6: "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
If we want to discredit all the Bible verses, it is our prerogative. But those who have experienced Jesus in their life as God, know that Jesus was not a mere man, he will be the Eternal ruler as well. He will judge us for what we have said and done here on earth. Even if the whole Bible translations were corrupted, I know that Jesus lives and through Him I know the power of God. Now, know that billions of people around the world, who has died and the others who still live believe in Jesus as God, not because it was a Bible story. People believe the name of Jesus holds power over Evil and through Jesus we get reconciliation and redemption from sin. I am a witness for Jesus and I will be until I die, because I have met Him and He is God. Unless we believe that we will never be saved. A mere man cannot give us forgiveness from sins. All we have to do is to ask Jesus to come into our life and then He will reveal to you whether He is God or man. Try it out yo will be surprised. Only He is the Truth.

Is it possible that their are conspiracies in the church of today? I think there are many of them.
Jesus, in his ministry, was always confronting many conspiracies with the religious folk of his day. Now that Jesus has left the wolves have really crept in. Proof that there is much conspiring by the devil in the church of today is that there are 30,000 different denominations of the churches.
I believe the worst conspiracy in the church today is centered around who Jesus is. This conspiracy started shortly after the apostles were all dead. People were saying that Jesus wasn't a real man but was God himself. By the year 350 or 400 the church was enforcing this doctrine that Jesus is God.
If you didn't go along with this new belief you were considered a heretic and thrown out of the church. There were actually many the executed in the most horrendous ways for standing up for the truth that was given to them by Jesus and the apostles.
Jesus and the apostles never taught a threefold God. Even today people are shunned in the church if they don't believe in the trinity or that Jesus is God. Search the scriptures and don't listen to tradition and you will plainly see the truth.
In Christ, George...
