Yes, that's more or less what I think. God isn't something that we could possibly comprehend, Jesus is a bridge that we can use to experience god and to understand the non-material nature of ourselves and our world.
But I don't think it's like god taught us directly through a human body, Jesus was in my opinion no more divine than any other human (uh, I think I heard a thunder XD), he simply was completely open to god. But in the grand scheme of things, it was only a little push to turn us into the right direction.

So because Jesus taught people about god, and why people should worship God, and because he "translated" the word of God...you worship Jesus, not God?

So I guess in this case you also would worship/ follow a priest? or the pope? Because they all "teach" people about God as well, right?

I don't see any other reason why you would worship Jesus since you don't believe he had any divine powers.

I'm very confused on what you believe/ worship and why.
