the very basic doctrines such as Jesus as the Son of God aren't constructs but rather explicit statements based off of the implicit understandings taught by the apostles - the very followers of Jesus. No offense meant at all, but anyone giving any serious research into the history of Christianity knows that. And I don't mean that in a bad sense - why should a non-Christian be necessarily concerned with Christian history? - but it should be understood what one does not understand.

However, there can be debate given to the question of whether or not Jesus death was meant as a literal sacrifice or as something else. I've expounded my thoughts on this in the thread I linked to above and don't care to repeat myself however. Since it is closed, any responses or challenges to something I may have said are welcome here - so long as they don't begin to follow the same path that the other thread did.
