God is defined by Jesus but not confined to Jesus.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's not correct to say Jesus is God. Now, don't run and report me to the bishop, all right? It's not correct to say that - Jesus is the union of the human and the divine. That's different.
God is a verb, not a noun.
God is not distant: he is 'Emmanuel,' God-with-us. He is no stranger: he has a face, the face of Jesus.
It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what God is not, but not (easily) what He is.
The gospel announces that God doesn't relate to us based on our feats for Jesus, but Jesus' feats for us.
Jesus was a human being, bound by history and the natural world; an extraordinary man, to be sure, but still a man.
No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.
Jesus may have had an immense sense of importance or destiny, but he never claimed to be the Son of God.
God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead, having before raised Israel from Egypt. There is no God but this God.
