Do Titus 2.13 and 2 Peter 1.1 Call Jesus God? [< 1 page]

In Titus 3:4 he is called the “Goodness and Loving-kindness of God, our Savior.” In 2 Peter 1:1 he is called the “Righteousness of our God, and Savior.” So in these passages Jesus is not being called God.

Commentary on 1 John 4.1-3
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn [3 pages]
rated at 1 (out of 5 votes)
Many Christians use the above verses in an attempt to prove that one must believe that Jesus is God in order to be saved. We assert that this is not at all what the verses are saying. To understand them, it is most important that we read what is written, and not add our interpolation to the text. Then, to really understand why they were written the way they are, we must understand the cultural context in which they were written, as well as the overall context of 1 John itself.
