Actually, if memory serves when we went through this before Till said that
this FAQ you are referring to was an in progress work and never approved, of
no force. We may concede these things for the sake of argument at times but
there is no requirement that we do so in any given place, am I correct? 

Regardless, that has no bearing on the issue at hand. The question is "Do
you believe that Jesus is God?" Whether either or both of these entities
exist is not the question. BRIDEAN said: "Well, to answer that please give
me a working definition of "God"." he did not say "prove that god exists."
Granting their existence for the sake of argument does not obviate the need
for a definition. Nor would defining them and confirming their identity
establish that they actually exist. There are many imaginary things and some
of them have identity relationships with other imaginary things.

"...we are not simply contending in order that my view or that
of yours may prevail, but I presume we ought both of us to be
fighting for the truth..."
from Philebus, the Dialogues of Plato
