Why did he have to borrow so much of his stuff from Plato?

If He is the Hebrew God and all knowing,
then Plato got whatever he had from Him.

If you must make such inflammatory statements, at least back them up with examples.
However, in this case the question itself contains the answer. If Jesus is an incarnation of the Hebrew God, and all knowing, perhaps Plato received his inspiration from Him.

Because Christ is an incarnational God. He uses our language, customs, knowledge, and life to reveal Himself. The whole point is that He became one of us.
Further, why do you assume we all believe the Hebrews alone had Truth? Neither Scripture nor Tradition assert any such thing, and without the assumption, your question seems a tad bit like sophistry.

Because Christians aren't real good with Hebrew. They keep translating it wrong and just won't accept that the words mean something else.
They do a bit better with Greek. The lad was just trying his best with what he had.

If God is all knowing, then Jesus' sacrifice is not really a sacrifice at all.
