Who is upset by Jesus? The one thing we can all agree on is that he is a major character in that bible book. Perhaps there is a historical person by that name on which the new testament was based. Don't know. But before I can entertain the possibility he was 'god', I really need a stone cold, unambiguous definition of what would count as a 'god' thing.
Until that gets settled perhaps you would like to explain the significance of this thread's question. Why does it matter? What significance attaches to thinking that Jesus was or was not a god-thing?
