but knew, in advance, everything that was going to happen every moment of every day, how would you cope?
would you tell thousands of white lies (and lies of omission) each day just to "blend in"?
So, how did Jesus do it?

If I knew everything that was going to happen, I would also know what exactly would happen if I told people the truth or lied. It really wouldn't matter to me at that point. It would get boring quickly either way.
He didn't. Jesus, if he existed, is just another dead guy.

I actually do live among my fellow humans every day and I know in advance everything that is going to happen, I don't lie, I'm bluntly honest sometimes I just wait to watch it happen so I can laugh.

You are wrong about the concept of God knowing everything, that would be very boring, there are things in creation which have a prescribed path, there are days, and months, and seasons, and ages of the ages.
You do not know everything your kid is going to do, but you know your kid's ways and what he is up to.
Yet you do not master your kid in mathematics at the age of two.
Why do we keep blaming God for us not being able to understand each other, putting aside our arrogance, ideologies and ambitions.

i would change everything and screw things up and fix things. but it's completely impossible to know such things because there's infinite possibilities and all just as likely to happen. jesus was a hippy magician.

I am extremely analytical and have a sort of sixth sense so this is almost a reality for me. It is extremely exhausting.

By telling the ABSOLUTE TRUTH!
He is God.
Because,
By the deeds of the law there shall no person be
justified in God’s sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin and all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:20, 23
Then,
They all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 Also I say unto you, whosoever shall confess me (Jesus) before men, him shall the Son of man (Jesus) also confess before the angels of God: But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.. Luke 12:8-9
However.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
For,
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Therefore,
If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Romans 10:9
Then,
He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 3:5
So,
That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:15
