Seeing a hero

Don,

Thanks for your response. You wrote:
"You mentioned the 'hero' quality shown in St. Mark's gospel. That is precisely what I think new christians should stay away from."

Why should new Christians stay away from the heroism and the view of Jesus as a celebrity, as found in Mark's gospel?

What goes wrong when someone who is just learing about Christianity begins to see Jesus as a hero and a celebrity?
