That Jesus Christ is fully human and fully divine. The defining teaching is found in the Gospel of John: Love one another as I have loved you

I would have phrased this better as 'the defining tenet'. I guess many people will say 'The Golden Rule' but, to preempt them, The Golden Rule is common to all the main world religions today so cannot be used to differentiate Christianity .

Is it the Resurrection event, or is it the historicity of the one unique son of God?
