a man that claimed to be God is either a liar, a lunatic, or God; to say such a man is a great teacher but not God stretches the limit of rationality.

The latter is certainly not implied by the former. It presupposes that a person can't be both a liar (either deliberate or unintentional) or lunatic and a great teacher, a conclusion that has no basis whatsoever. It's a emotional statement, not a logical one.
Frankly, I'm astounded anyone would put that forward as a defensible claim... though I'm sure it's a very compelling "argument" to someone predisposed to the conclusion.
