At a larger level, if Jesus were God, he could have performed so many real miracles. He could have, for example, eliminated smallpox and a host of other diseases that science is busy eliminating today. Jesus could have given the people of Israel the knowledge that they would need to start a technological society and raise themselves above the primitive living conditions of the day. Jesus could have taught the Israelites about metallurgy, chemistry, biology, physics, manufacturing, mathematics, medicine, engineering, etc., etc., etc. He could have also taught them how to responsibly use these technologies to solve the problems of pollution and habitat destruction that so often accompany them today.

Since jesus never existed on earth this is a pointless question; yet in the belief system territories there is, and are, astral versions of him if you wish to converse with that being.
Think bigger.

The whole point of Jesus being on Earth was to show the human aspect of God. Everytime Jesus performed a miracle, he prayed for it first. This was to show the direct connection between prayer and results. Following God is not pushing the "easy button".

It is a matter of interpretation. I believe that he did many miracles. He changed water to wine and raised Lazarus from the dead. He also did the greatest miracle of all in dying for us so that we may be cleansed of our sins. If he had done of the things you mentioned then he would of made belief in him a matter of fact rather then faith. I am glad he did what he did and thank him for it.

I believe that Christ did not squander his powers while he was on Earth, he just did not want to scare people with all the power that God has given him and what indeed God can do for his people who God truly loved.

That's a moronic statement.
Jesus cured everybody that asked Him to, the whole idea behind Christianity is faith in Jesus.
Jesus performed so many miracles that if they were all written down I suppose the earth would not be big enough to hold them all--------Last verse in John
