As I said, the John area I mentioned gives you a good idea of the why, the Jews did not accept him.
However, your letting the contradiction god cloud, see some clear verses and their meanings.
However as I said on the other subject, it depends on what and from what you read the information from.
Just here alone I notice, You are relying on "others" waffle = the first trap we are told to watch out for, but no, you went in head first.
Now then, something you may not be aware about as I wasn't either - The Emmanuel subject.
I can't be bothered going into great detail, but it "appears" the wording or the order of it in the OT going by the actual Hebrew, is "very" questionable.
One word in particular for example, I think had 4 letters but when you look up what this Hebrew word actually means, it only shows up with the word of 3 letters. From the net, it "appears", it is a mystery as to why it is done like this because, including all letters, gives a different meaning.
I am also aware from the Hebrew OT, some of the translation of OT have been tweaked a little to align with the NT instead of the other way around, I wont cover the details of this fact.
So basically, Emmanuel is effectively a title, announcement and that is, God will be "with" this future one and from what I'm seeing, it should never have been written as though Jesus's actual name would called Emmanuel as it was announcing something else as well. Jesus also, certainly made the point, God was with him as well.
So just from a quick glance, most of the things you mention are easy to answer and address ex- Jesus said I will raise up the temple within three days etc and the rest, I can't be bothered chasing your contradiction god/tail anymore haha
