The statement "Jesus is God" only makes real sense in terms of Israel's story, and her 1st-century expectation that YHWH would visit her in love to restore her fortunes and bring about her destiny. Outside of that story, the claim that "Jesus is God" makes no sense, and has no importance, and has no impact on my faith. It is only a piece of systematic dogma, good for causing divisive arguments.
