According to christian theology, yes, that is basically it.
The New Testament portion can be condensed if Jesus just showed up and said, “Go ahead and shoot me and everyone’s sins will be forgiven. I’m a lamb. I’m a sop.”
I don’t think it matters who shoots him. Anyone can take the gun and shoot him to death.
A christian might say but then nobody would be convinced that he is the son of the jewish god or the jewish god.
My response would be, if you go to heaven, how are you going to recognize which one is god?
Will he use an ID card?
On his jacket, does he have “Hi, I am a god” sticker?
Does he have to do magic tricks for you, such as healing sick people, walking on water each time you meet him? How many magics does he need to perform at minimum?

Well, first we check what the actions are of this god and what he says.
That’s how we can figure out if he is bizarre or not.
The steps are like this:
1. The god does some action.
2. I observe the god. (This is the data collection step. This is the input step.)
3. I judge whether this god can be qualified as bizarre or not. (This is the analysis and output step).
For step 2, it would be many different observers. Even the god can be an observer.
At step 3, each person judges for himself.
