    Lol, somebody hasn’t actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.

    1. Jesus is never portrayed as “ordinary.” He’s also not born in “ordinary” circumstances because he’s born in a time where the king is slaughtering infants due to a prophecy saying a new king will be born, hence how he ended up in the manger.
    2. The wisemen don’t proclaim anything. An angel appears to Mary before Jesus is born and tells her exactly what will happen and what to do.
    3. Jesus is a literal baby at this point. He can’t refuse anything
    4. Assumptions are of no value compared to facts, or at least something that is actually in a historical text or the actual Bible.
    5. This is not what “Crossing the Threshold” would be in the Hero’s Journey. It’s like Luke leaving Tatooine or Frodo leaving the shire. Jesus is the son of God, at least in the context of the New Testament. There is no “threshold.” He’s part of an omniscient being.

    and considering that’s almost half of the steps, I don’t think we need to go any further
