The battle today over truth is less that God became a man.
Though that is still an issue with those who do not believe either in God or the incarnation.
Though the religionists of Jesus of Nazareth's day was opposition to God becomming a man, today the religionists mostly fight with another objection. They don't believe that the man could become a life giving Spirit.
Though "The Word became flesh" (John 1:14) was hard for the religionists of the past to teke, today it is that "the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45) which is the target of their skepticism.
"God could not becme a man" was their doubt then.
"The Man could not become a life giving Spirit to give Himself to us" is their doubt today.
@sonship saidIf Jesus came today and appeared in front of you, you would neither recognize, nor accept His teachings. You would be counted among those who condemned, persecuted and crucified Him.

@karoly-aczel saidBy 2052 he might have an easier time getting something across to a mixed audience of different degrees of incarnation along some kind of bio-analog-digital-virtual spectrum.
He wouldn't be 30 til 2052 so he'd either be a regular guy or dead
But as for the initial premises, I think the purported backwater town might not even have 3G in 2022, let alone high-speed internet -- and I think we need more background information re: the local food bank. Did that little town start as a hippie enclave some decades prior to his birth?
@divegeester
P.S. -- If you have been trying to bring people to Christ, tbh I think you could do a lot better.
Or, if you had Christianity forced on you and you have left the faith behind, what's it to you what other people believe?
