Just a thought on the "Jesus is a prophet and not the divine son of God".  Something C S Lewis wrote on this was profound (at least to me).  He wrote that one cannot think of Jesus as merely a good man, a wise religious philosopher, a mere prophet.  Lewis points out that Jesus clear in claiming his divinity (He told the woman at the well and also plainly stated this during his trial before his crucifixion).  Since he claimed to be the Son of God (capitals intentional), if this was not true then he would be guilty of falsely leading people astray if it was not actually true.  So it would be an extraordinarily evil thing for him to lead people to follow him as the Son of God, if he were not actually the Son of God.  In other words, Jesus was either the Divine Son of God, the Savior, OR...he is responsible for leading millions and millions of Christians on a false path throughout the ages.

Lewis says there is not logically any kind of middle ground on Jesus.

Suppose his words in this instance were misrepresented? Suppose he was speaking in metaphorical terms? There is a bunch of middle ground on this.[/quote]
There are no recordings of what Jesus said, so other religions can claim that Jesus was a prophet and have their own text on what his words were.[/quote]
