FALSANI:

Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:

Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

I am surprised Blinky would even say His name. It must have burned his tongue.

This definition of Jesus (good teacher, bridge to God) could be embraced by a variety of religions. Is Jesus the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin?

Matthew 16:
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Hmmmm ... Peter gives a thoroughly unequivocal answer, for which he is praised and blessed. Barry 0b0la fudges the answer ...
