I have yet to know such a Christian.
>And let's ignore the fact that the original Christians would probably have been aghast at the thought of Gentiles daring to consider themselves as having a relationship with their God.
Gentiles were not allowed to have relationship with Jesus and God for 10 years after Jesus ascended. But God told Peter that Gentiles were allowed to have relationship with Him and Jesus. It was word of God, again not evolution by any means.
>According to the stories, he turned water into wine. He did work on the Sabbath.
I answered this in other comment above.
>to the point that he had to raise a kid from the dead to vouch for the assumption that he'd killed said kid
Are you kidding me? Not sure which Bible you read. But He made little girl alive again who was sick and her soul had left the body.
>Jesus was, even by the most generous of accounts, kind of a punk.
Really dude?

I'm sorry for you?
> Gentiles were not allowed to have relationship with Jesus and God for 10 years after Jesus ascended. But God told Peter that Gentiles were allowed to have relationship with Him and Jesus. It was word of God, again not evolution by any means.
Gentiles were initially not allowed to have relationships with jesus, then tack changed and they were allowed. How is that not doctrine evolving?
> Are you kidding me? Not sure which Bible you read.
Er…
> Depending on what apocrypha you believe
the event in question is part of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas

Who are you? You're one person. There have been billions of Christians from various countries over thousands of years. What you personally know or don't know doesn't really mean much.
But since you've decided to argue your personal interpretation of the Bible as an absolute, I will choose to end my role in this conversation.
