That's not ambiguous like, Jesus was God.
Jesus was God is very weak.
Jesus always was God, is God and always will be God.
There is just too much scripture that says so in no uncertain terms.

In other words, we can place a beginning upon Jesus the Christ in terms of the flesh, whereas the Son of God is Eternal, the Creator.

"Jesus was God" and "Jesus was a man" are not the same claim, though, are they?
