I think that will depend heavily on your conception of what "Jesus" means. This is going to verge on Docetism, but I think to Lewis Aslan is closer to "what I imagine Churchill would behave and be like if Doctor Who took him to Gallifrey" than I think you are conceiving it.

What readings would you recommend on docetism? I vaguely recall one of my grad advisors describing Mahayana as ‘docetic’ (meaning that Buddhas are imagined as [merely] “playing out a part”) but I don’t know what that means in Christian traditions

I think Americans often slip into Docetism, for what it's worth.
Growing up you could sometimes hear things like, "When our God came to Earth disguised as a Man."
Like no, it wasn't a disguise.

His divine nature, which was able to, due to the Hypostatic Union, carry His human nature along that path towards ultimate victory, transfiguration and ascension. I don’t see how one can claim any differently and not be a de facto docetist.

Happy that the Presbyterian Church USA is in the process of labeling white Christian nationalism as theological error.
This isn’t a political statement. It’s reserved for things like Arianism that denies the divinity of Christ of docetism that denies Christ’s humanity.

PC(USA) labels White Christian nationalism 'Theological Error'
Calling White Christian nationalism incompatible with the teachings of Jesus, commissioners approved a proposed constitutional amendment and a new policy statement opposing the ideology.

There's always docetism if you want the heretical options on the table.

Maybe Indian Christians have to be safeguarded against strains of sonething like modern versions of julianist heresy warping their mind.
I think the average avatara doctrine falls between docetism and julianism.

Today my 6yo asked me if Jesus ever pooped so now he knows more about Docetism than he probably bargained for.

Broke: D&D is anti-Christian because it contains polytheism
Woke: D&D is anti-Christian because clerics have to be within a certain proximity to their deity's alignment, which is Docetism

Paxton's assumption that most Texans will automatically believe that Talarico is "too low-T" has multiple roots, but one of them is that American evangelicalism has bought that liberals are weak because they have empathy. Imo this is a modern form of docetism endemic to reactionary masculinity.

Yeah, and that's what I'm kind of concerned about. The fact that it feels like the whole conversation is on this, like, "non-realist" level that has no manifestation in our material lives. Which imo is basically Docetism and that's why it's bad?

Yeah for sure. And most of that's been ballparked in politically complicated but well-worn ancient councils, so any contemporary claim of heresy is usually either an interpretative question in light of ancient categories (e.g., 'that sounds like docetism') or a confrontation of "new" problems
