Why is it not enough for you or the R catholic church for us to say JESUS is GOD?

OK, here is my proposed language which both sides should be able to agree on:

"Jesus, the son of Mary, is God".

Someone raised the issue of women in leadership positions and I was curious what your perspective is (sorry if I missed an earlier response, I can't keep up with the pace of this thread). The reason I ask is that Rabbi Johanna Hershenson, who is the rabbi of Congregation Beth Sholom, is the first female rabbi to work full time for a Jewish congregation in Alaska. We had a community wide religious service here in Anchorage shortly after 9-11, which involved leaders from a number of congregations, and I was surprised to see a female rabbi. Is this very common?

"Jesus, the son of Mary, is God".

Yes, He definitely is: the God/man, Christ Jesus. "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel [GOD WITH US]." Isa. 7:14 Amen.
