You might be interested to learn that early Christians did not regard Jesus as any sort of God or divinity. He was just the latest and greatest prophet.
It wasn't until the mid-fifth century that Emperor Constantine convened the council of Nicea (whence we get the Nicean Creed), and the early church fathers voted to determine that Jesus was in fact a god. The vote, BTW, was not unanimous.
Oh, and at the same time, they deleted most references to reincarnation from the "approved" scripture.
