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