Jesus being the Son of God didn't do anything he wanted, he only did the will of the Father.
As to the original question, to my knowledge Jesus was the only one to enter into this world with a heavenly host. The angels that appear to the shepheards are commonly thought of as just a chior. I has been pointed out to me that this was not a choir but an army. (host=army) No wonder the shepheards were afraid. God did not send his Son into this world weak, like the rest of us come into the world. Anyways thought it was interesting, and as far as I know pretty original.

Yeah, kinda makes the Trinity idea a bit screwy doesn't it?
Funk, man, you edited your post and left out that part where you admitted that.... Well, we know don't we

Oh busted! I decided it was not something I will "admit". Couldn't argue it any further without offending others.
I don't see how it makes the trinity screwy. So Jesus came in the flesh, fully, and did the will of the Father. How does this mess up the doctrine of the trinity? Right from Genesis God is refered to as "we".

I agree Jesus was a normal infant baby, minus the normal conception, (imo). However Satan would have destroyed this infant were it not for the army of heaven that accompanied him to this earth. He was defended.

Maybe it was the captain of the host who instructed Joseph to take his family and flee to Egypt? Sometimes that's the best strategy is to to get out of the enemies territory.
There are many ways satan could have destroyed this infant, I don't even doubt that he tried. What do you think prompted Herod to take the course of action he did?

Not sure about this one it's a guess, but did anyone else teach the reverse kingdom idea. The idea that king is servant.

If the Gospels are true, Jesus really did all these things in actual fact, unlike myth -- that is original and I stand by my post.

Amen. I will stand by that post with you.

who preached reverse "social order" before Jesus?
Question 2 why is there so many versions of this, why do so many people believe? How come just about every culture knows of some form of God?
