Claim. Jesus’s value equals that of any person who has realized the purpose-of-creation. He is the True Parent because he is the perfected man, not because his divinity is ontologically unique.
Elaboration. Per dp-2-jesus-and-the-person-who-has-realized-the-purpose-of-creation §2.1–2.2, perfected Adam and Jesus “would be identical in the sense of having realized the goal of creation. As such, they would have equal value.” Both are the tree of life — Eden’s unrealized, Revelation’s restored (see dp-jesus-as-last-adam-and-tree-of-life-second-coming).
DP concedes conventional Christianity’s instinct: “The conventional Christian belief in Jesus’ divinity is well founded because, as a perfect human being, Jesus is totally one with God.” The deflationary corollary: “To assert that Jesus is none other than a man who has completed the purpose of creation does not degrade the value of Jesus in the least. In fact, the Principle of Creation elevates the true value of all people who fulfill the purpose of creation to a level comparable to Jesus.”
DP marshals four NT proof-texts calling Jesus a man — 5 (“the man Christ Jesus”), 19 (“by one man’s obedience”), 21 (“by a man… the resurrection”), 31 (“by a man whom he has appointed”). “Above all, he had to come as a human being that he might become the True Parent who can give rebirth.”
The deflationary move directly engages Phil 2:6 (kenotic form of God) and the Nicene homoousios formula: Jesus is fully man and divinely united, not divine by ontological substance.
