Bible Question (short): Who is Jesus Christ? |
Question (full): Dear Stokeyhk, I'd like to pursue a different line of reasoning. I think we would both agree that the Bible teaches that there is only one God. The Lord of the OT is Jehovah. For support lets look at Isaiah 43:11, "I am the Lord (Jehovah), and there is no savior besides me." Also, we have Isaiah 45:19-21. In vs. 21 we read,..."there is no other God besides Me, a righteous God and a Savior, there is none except Me..." So, could we agree that the OT scripture clearly teaches that there is but one God,(Jehovah) and that He is the only savior? When we come to the book of Titus, we have a rather interesting dilemma. I'll list the phrases in the verses from the NASB. Titus 1:3 ..."God our SAVIOR,..." 1:4 ... God the Father and Christ Jesus our SAVIOR." 2:10 ..."God our SAVIOR"... 2:11 ..."For the grace of God has appeared, bringing SALVATION to all men,"... 2:13 ..."our great God and SAVIOR, Christ Jesus,"... 3:4 ... "the kindness of God our SAVIOR"... 3:6 ... "through Jesus Christ our SAVIOR,"... Hopefully, these verse will suffice to show that both God, AND Jesus Christ are referred to and called SAVIOR! If there is only one God and only one Savior, then who is Jesus Christ? He is both referred to as God and savior. You have an inexplicable dilemma based upon scripture itself.There must be an acknowledgement that Jesus Christ is in fact God. No amount of scripture twisting can show otherwise.
