In terms of holy trinity. Wotan the allfather, Jesus the son and the holy spirit. What do you think about this theological theory?

I don't think it fits. If Jesus was his son, He'd be the blackest of black sheep. Odin wasn't forthright or noble like Tyr or even Thor; he'd go around deliberately inciting violence among peaceful people for, essentially, shits and giggles. He's the ruler of the Aesir, but routinely leaves Asgard to go on long quests for no reason other than personal gain and edification- but doesn't step down from leadership. Odin pushes winning through cunning and magic rather than strength and justice; Jesus was all about strength, but of a moral, rather than physical or intellectual type.
There IS some similarity between them in rejecting social norms for the sake of doing what each considers "right", and you could definitely make an interesting story out of the family conflicts of gods of different pantheons, but I don't think this one would really gel. Wotan and Cuchulainn? Yes (and BOY HOWDY, could you get some mileage out of that!). Wotan and Joshua? Maybe (and I suppose that could give you a run-in to Jesus). Wotan and Buddha?
... okay, a show about the interpersonal three-way struggles between Wotan and his sons Siddhartha Guatama and Yeshua bin, um, Wotan has INCREDIBLE potential, and I'm torn between disappointment and gratitude that it'll probably never exist, since who could do it right?
No. Christianity started off as a Judaic religion and spread throughout the Roman Empire becoming Romanised though there are a few differences with it and other Christian religions that spread outside the empire like Aranism is northern Europe and eithiopian Christianity.
You mean came through. People have been bouncing back and forth through Europe and back to Asia long before that, breeding with different archaic humans like neadrathals and denovians and probably other unknowns, creating hybrid populations that mixed with each other like human/neadrathals, neadrathal/denovians, denovian/humans, human/denovian/neadrathals. Well before the ice age ended.
Take the turks in Turkey, they once looked exactly like the Mongols but changed when they conquered new territories by taking wives of that region and their sons took wives from that region and their sons watering down their DNA.
You catholics put more faith on a paint instead of Heavenly Father Jehova.

Creative, but no. Odin was a war god who glorified battle.
Not really on topic, but I loved Norse mythology woven into WoW. I still remember some of the quotes in Odyn’s Halls:
”Only cowards fear the call of battle!”
“…The unworthy shall be purged from these halls!”
”Stand together, or die alone!”
”Fall in line!”
The Jesus "pictures" actually is Not how jesus looks, he is dark skin, curly hair, not long hair... search and you shall find.😉
Well, no, you won't; He lived and died LONG before photography, and they didn't do portrait paintings of itinerant laborers. Yes, He PROBABLY would've looked like a little brown Arab, rather than how Sallman (who'd never even BEEN to the Middle East) painted Him, but nobody knows for certain; it's not like you don't get a lot of interbreeding in areas with lots of different ethnicities.
Ahem: "The Jesus "pictures" actually is Not how jesus looks, he is dark skin, curly hair, not long hair..."
Rather disingenuous to claim you wouldn't claim to know a mere day after claiming to know...
@NamerOfStars having a theory differs from knowing, but maybe it's too complicated
Jesus Christ is concurrently G0d and Man. Joseph is Jesus' earthly father who raised him and instilled human qualities in Him that enabled Him to relate to common men. G0d, by way of the Holy Spirit, is Jesus' heavenly/eternal Father. Scripture makes that clear. Your "theory" is just another hypothesis, equal to man-caused global warming.
nope, jesus is the bastard son of joseph and mariah and joseph is the son of jacob, who was one of the 12 tribe leaders of the jewish people. that leadership of the 12 tribe fathers was called "davids kingdom". norse mythology is way closer to greek mythology than to the christian religion which goes back to ancient egypt and mesopotanian polytheistic believes.
Lay off the crack, kiddo
Why is blaspheming God so easy for people, particularly the God and Father of our lord Jesus Christ
Um, NO... Joseph Was and Mary His Mother. xxoo
wotan is not a real god. maybe angel?
Clearly you've never read the Bible.
I think it’s one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever heard in my life.
Nope
Nonsense
