Isn't the fact that he was a carpenter and earned a living from carpentry, for example, a "point of comparison" with other craftsmen and other ordinary people making their livelihoods? To me, it seems rather incoherent to BOTH celebrate the fact that he was a real human and THEN cancel all that out by insisting that "there is no point of comparison". OK, fine, i ...[text shortened]... is no point of comparison" with other humans then what is the big deal about him being a human?

even if the parchment had been 'genuine' it still didn't do what people claimed it did...
But I'm curious as to what your objection, and reasons for it, were?

show regularly [when relevant] says that he has no problems with characters
being changed [from previous incarnations or source materiel] so long as the
core of the character is kept the same.
So, for example, Edris Elba as James bond would be fine [awesome] because there
is nothing important about the James bond character that is changed if you make
the character black instead of white.
Similarly, I can't actually see anything that fundamentally changes about the Jesus
character if he has a wife.
