The Nicene Creed (written 325 C.E.) is the indiginization of early Christian beliefs into the Hellenistic thought of the early 4th century and crystallization of thought of a particular time and place.

Trinitarian language says God is one known to us:

* as God the creator
* in the person of Jesus
* in the presence of the spirit

The emergence of Jesus Christ in Christian tradition amounts to a cumulative claim.

For Marcus Borg, as a scholar and as a Christian, Jesus is an epiphany of God, a manifestation of the sacred, the decisive disclosure of God.

From "A Portrait of Jesus" created by Cam Howard based on the work of Dr. Marcus Borg.

I found this website quite interesting since I haven't gotten around to rereading and reading the books by Marcus Borg. I like the conclusion:

Spirit, compassion, and the quest for justice are at the center of a Christian life that takes this portrait of Jesus seriously.

I think I have been bothered lately with those professing a Christianity that puts certain things at the center of a Christian Life that end up being more like the rule-bound Pharasees than what Jesus taught.
