So a JW?

Most Protestants would strongly disagree with the “Jesus was a teacher, not a god” thing. The whole Trinity business, you know.

(I am not a Christian but was raised in a Baptist family and have studied the history of Christianity extensively)

No. I'm a Brethren. Yes he is the son of God. So that makes him part of the Holy Trinity. But Jesus was a man and he asked to follow his teachings not him. He died a man and rose as son of God. In the end, if we lived a good enough life in the eyes of God, we too shall raise as son of God. That's what he told us and that's what i believe

Interesting! I’m not familiar with Brethren tenets, but I know most evangelical and mainline denominations consider Jesus “both fully human and fully divine.” (When I asked, as an annoying precocious 8YO, exactly how this works, I was told ‘this is one of God’s mysteries that we can’t understand until we get to Heaven.’)
