Smartest Human Ever

Dallas Willard -- a professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California, and a noted Christian author and speaker -- asserts that above all other brilliant people who ever was, one stands out: Jesus.

Now, we can get into the weeds really quickly about how much knowledge from Christ's divine nature was present in his human nature. We know some was -- examples: he knew the woman at the well had five husbands and was living with another; he sees through Nathanael's initial skepticism about Jesus as the messiah.

If we grant the human nature of Jesus full possession of God's knowledge, then it's no contest.

I'm not really sure I'm up to arguing the case pro or con ... I just toss it out there for consideration.
