There is God our Savior and then there is our Lord and Savior the man Christ Jesus, through whom God our Savior worked to bring us His salvation
Titus 3 3For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 4But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 5not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works.
Paul introduces both to Titus in his opening Titus 1 1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, 2in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; 3but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour.
Paul is very consistent God is God and Jesus is The Christ. Do you really think, Ohio, that Paul they’ll Timothy that there is One God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, and then tells Titus there are two Gods? Does he tell the Corinthians there is one God, the Father, and then skip to another place and tell them Jesus is God? That would be total confusion.
My little comma post was obvious sarcasm: it shows how I feel about the attempts to make a three headed appear god out of scripture and then do obeisance to that “ discovery”. People DO make money promoting the trinity thing and have really, by intimidation held captive the masses to that unscriptural premise. “ If you don’t believe Jesus is God, your an heretic and be damned”. All’s the while, Jesus and Paul tell us of one True God, the Father. As I pointed out, Jesus offers a reward to those like me that don’t distort the truth. For your crowd, Ohio, I see more of a warning “ come out of her my people”. But that’s just what I read in the scripture, you seem to find a lot of verses that say, aaahhh I mean “ indicate” Jesus is God. I see the narrative of the scripture lifting up God our Father and Jesus the Christ rewarded with the position God has given him. You see, apparently two, maybe three gods. Can you tell me where you see Jesus worshipped as God in the heavenly realm? I see Jesus on the right hand of God displayed in the scripture quite a bit, but I don’t see scripture displaying Jesus as God in such a fashion. Are we all reading the same writings?
