Do Titus 2.13 and 2 Peter 1.1 Call Jesus God? [< 1 page]
by Jay Dicken rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
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.

Does Paul call Jesus "God" in Titus 2:13?

The Granville Sharp Rule used to argue for TITUS 2:13 as a statement of Jesus’ deity is invalid. The passage instead has two persons in view, “the great God” and “Christ Jesus, our savior.” This is in keeping with Paul’s usage elsewhere in Titus and his other letters, as well as in the rest of the New Testament.
