Fljlotsdale, if I read a biography of you, am I going to know you as well as those that have an ongoing relationship with you? As well as your daughter?
The point which you have readily missed is that Jesus is not just a bunch of words on a page. Others here go on about how they follow Jesus teachings but aren't Christian. Why?
Knowing Jesus is a relationship. It is not about what he taught, but what he did. What he does. Sometimes you can learn more about Jesus grace and love from lifes journey, than you can from the written word. Lessons about trusting him, simple trust, are ones that I could not have found in the bible. I had to walk through life with him in me, and me in him.
I am afraid that from my point of view, as you deny even his oneness with the creator, you know very little about the Jesus I know. I know a God who loved the world enough to become man, die, rise and enter heaven, and then send his spirit to reside in me, changing me, impacting my life every day with aspects of his love, peace, grace and joy.
The Jesus you know seems worlds away from mine.
