I think symbolizing real people is a bit hard to swallow for me. And since Greece is west of Israel, I'm a bit confused on what the wise men had to do with them. (Nor do I know where they came from other than "The East.")

So, no. Sorry really didn't answer my question. But I see this has taken off into a few people just wanting to argue because they can, so I'm thinking I might have to do my own homework.

My guess is because the poor Greeks where searching for a better everything... They heard by rumor that Jesus had raised lazurus from the dead so many people wanted to go to see this so called miracle for themselves. They sat what took place and it forever changed their hearts. To me it is a time where people who probable would have never though of having a gentle heart took on the word of God and their hardened hearts were turned and they were in a better place knowing they believed in God.. This would be of importance because it is the begining of people excepting Jesus as being real and changing their hearts. Also this leads up to Jesus going to his death.. So It is in the bible as proof that even the hardest of hearts can change and love God.

25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

yes, actually it is. Jesus was home schooled by His Father in Heaven because He (Jesus) was God’s Son.

Wrong answer, can anything be of (was) in the future.

Jesus Is Home schooled because He Is God's Son make no mistake about that my friend.

Here’s question for you: How many miracles did Jesus do here on earth?

it would take the whole world full of books to mention all that Jesus did and probably even that wouldn't be enough.

Future is only in our universe so we think past, present,and future. In God’s world there is no time.

You can only view your past and at this very moment as we speak to each other, the future is only known by God.

you do have free will to think of it all you want, unless God shows you something of the future you are clueless of it.

and there is a future beyond this universe.

wrong, He did no miracle for He said my Father doe they the work. You see my fiend, He was putting Himself in our shoes. We pray and a miracle happens, are the ones who did the miracle? No,it is our Father in Heaven.

Have you ever read the book of Ester? There is more info in that book then must people will acknowledge. As to your question no He is not God. He is just as He said He was the Son of God. That’s why He is called Lord and Prince.

Are you saying that Jesus is not God the Father, or are you flatly denying that He is God? If the latter, then you have a very serious problem. Everything we read about Jesus is based on the fact that He is "God (Theos) manifest in the flesh". He is the God-Man.

Check out Revelation 1:1, Read it slowly and ingest each word and it’s meaning. Again in ch3:14 read this one real close.

John 10:30 - I and [my] Father are one.

[h=3]1 John 5:7 Context[/h]
4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 9If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.​

The last part of rev 1:1 we can know what angel it is speaking of by what Jesus said.

Matt 17:12
But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."
