The stat problem: If Jesus is God incarnate (Christian/Catholic view), his stats are infinite and the scale breaks. The stats above represent his narrative feats as recorded in Scripture. Theologically, he transcends the bestiary entirely.

Six perspectives: Christian = God incarnate, second person of Trinity. Catholic = same + high priest, Eucharistic presence. Jewish = a teacher/prophet, NOT the Messiah. Masonic = great moral teacher (not addressed as divine). Esoteric = an avatar of the Christ-consciousness / the Piscean Aion. Black Church = liberator, the God who identifies with the oppressed.

Catholic vs. Protestant divide: Catholics venerate Mary as Queen of Heaven, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virgin, bodily assumed into heaven. Protestants honor her as the mother of Jesus but reject veneration, perpetual virginity, and bodily assumption. This is one of the sharpest divides in Christianity.
