When i discovered that the authors of the New Testament were conceptualizing Jesus in exactly the same language or personified imagery as we find in the broader philosophical world, both Greek and Jewish, I realized that in reading the New Testament and imagining the New Testament writers as being inspired to a view of ‘God’s begotten Son’, these authors are merely drawing on the prominent ideas of speculative ancient Judaism and the deeper ancient heritage infused with Hellenic though, which lay behind their distorted perception and interpretation of Jesus.

"If Jesus were merely a human being used by God, then why did he call himself Son of Man as his favorite self designation, a figure for divine authority, since the figure rides the clouds like deity? "

You advance with the postulation that Jesus made these proclaimations in the first place.

The diverse Christologies derived from the NT reflect more what the alledged/professed follower believed about Jesus, not what Jesus perceived about his own self perception.

It behoves me why Christians continue to worship a 'Jesus' that is a product of speculative and conjecture philosophies that prepared the very foundations of their christological beliefs.

What would jesus look like without these conceptual wisdom/logos interpretations?

I believe, if you remove these human innovations, speculative Jewish/greek philosophical conceptualizations that were erroneously applied to interpret the identity of Jesus, you will indeed recognize the true historical Jesus as the mighty Prophet and messenger of God Almighty.
