I was wondering-- what would Jesus Christ be as a D&D character? I'm thinking Aasimar Divine Soul Sorcerer X/Redemption Paladin X CHA>CON>WIS>DEX>INT>STR, proficiency in carpenter's tools, wields a whip, and IDK what background.
If he was an NPC, he would have a feature in his stat block where all Athletics checks made to grapple him onto a cross are made with advantage and a +5 bonus, and he would have to be killed twice.
Any opinions/ideas about this?

i like linguistics and, well, d&d, obviously. this bio hadn't been updated for 3 years so i figured i'd do that.
First, I'm a Christian (and a pastor), so this is sailing pretty close to the wind for me, but I'll roll with it. As far as I'm concerned, he is God, and since when do we let players control gods? But if you seriously want to make a Jesus-like PC as he's presented in the Bible (and if you don't want to reference from the Bible, you're pulling stuff out of your butt so do what you like)...
I can see where you're coming from with aasimar with the whole celestial thing. I still think human, but I'll grant aasimar.
No idea where you get Paladin from given he was a pacifist (turning a few tables over does not a Paladin make - maybe you want Paladin St Peter, he cut off a guy's ear). Given Jesus was a rabbi, I think cleric.
Carpenter/builder, so artisan background.
As for stats, CHA>WIS>INT>CON>DEX>STR. Con could be up there, he fasted for 40 days after all, but wis works and gets your clerical bonuses. Dex and strength are a toss up, but I see what you're doing there with the carpentry. Given he's a pacifist, it's not like he's going to go around bashing things.
This one's going to be more RP than combat focused.
The Oath of Redemption sets a paladin on a difficult path, one that requires a holy warrior to use violence only as a last resort. Paladins who dedicate themselves to this oath believe that any person can be redeemed and that the path of benevolence and justice is one that anyone can walk.

He would need to be at least level 15 for control weather, other spells he would need are; Dispel Evil And Good, Lesser Restoration, Greater Restoration. Some of the things like turning water into wine aren't duable with spells, so you would have to use Divine Intervention, which could also just be used for several others miracles.
Folks, whilst this discussion has been reasonable so far, unfortunately I need to shut it down.
The site rules & guidelines, section 2e states certain topics that are not to be discussed on D&D Beyond and one of the bullet points there is:
Religious or Political opinions/debates.
There's a good reason why this rule is in place and it's based on experience. It's incredibly easy for someone to offend another user's religious beliefs, even if accidentally done.

He’s gotta be a cleric, he can cast Water Walk, Create Food and Water, and Raise Dead.
