was sent to mankind to live as a man and to show us the path back to our Father in Heaven.

I believe in a Jesus Christ who IS the path back to the Father:

"Jesus told him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." --John 14:6

Your post points out why the seemingly intentionally ambiguous descriptions of his faith. One can infer something he is not really saying, as in the example you give.
