To #58 – not to be difficult but yes it is an ambiguous construction. “Is ‘A’ ‘B’?” Is ambiguous in natural language as it really asks is ‘A’ isomorphic to or have a shared property relation set to ‘B’? However it does not specify which question is being asked or what isomorphic relationship is in view. Normally natural language provides enough context that we don’t get confused but in the case of such conceptually difficult concepts as the Trinity the ambiguity is best to be careful to avoid. I specified an isomorphic operation (“interchangeable with”) to avoid this ambiguity and answered a resounding ‘No’ (many times now).
To #59 – you do seem to recognize that Jesus, who was the Christ, was fully God.
And if we recognize that the Christ was fully and inseparably God then to assert that human marriage reflects Christ but not God is quite exactly non-sense.
