How much truth is enough?

I want you to do an exersize with me that will show you everything you need to know about The Truth and Salvation!

We will start by getting a blank sheet of printer paper and drawing a continuous line around the inside margin of the paper, as close to the edge as possible; for our purposes this line and the edge of the paper are the same thing. This blank sheet of paper is a two dimensional image of the entire universe, in all of the dimensions that exist, and all the knowledge that exists, that has existed, and will ever exist. In other words, this line is God, everything He is, and everything He knows. 

Now take a sharpened pencil and anywhere on that page draw the smallest circle possible. That circle represents the sum total of all of human knowledge of all ages past, present, and future. Question: How much of that knowledge is outside of what God knows?

Take another piece of paper and draw a circle on it. That circle now represents the previous circle that is the sum total of all human knowledge. Draw a circle inside of that circle that will be your idea of how much of a percentage of human knowledge you know. Make it as large or small as necesary to show how much knowledge you have with respect to the sum total of human knowledge. (In may be difficult to draw a circle that small.)

Question: how much of all that you know is related to your understanding of the Plan of Salvation, and where did you aquire that knowledge? Does it even matter?

Jesus came to earth at the request of His Father. There is nothing that the Father knows that Jesus does not. Picture Jesus inside that tiny circle that represents the sum of human knowledge, having come to earth to "Testify to the truth" about salvation (John 18:37). 

Do you believe that someone other than Jesus know everything about how salvation works, and is a better source for truth than Jesus?
