Did Jesus clearly think of himself as a God, or human? Jesus himself, did not often triumphantly, clearly declare himself to be “God,” or even “Christ.” But merely asked others “who do you say I am.” Though to be sure, this was a hot-button topic for his time, after Caesar vs. Republican/humanist/Rome; and Jesus was finally executed in part, others said, for claiming to be a God.

Still, there is here and elsewhere, some biblical support, in the New Testament especially, for a humanistic theology.
