Because Jesus is God. He is the second Person of the Trinity. God's nature is unique, and there is nothing like Him. Allow me to explain how Jesus stated that He is God.
He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Some translations will show the Greek for "I AM" to be translated in the English "It is I," or "I am He," and doesn't accurately reflect was was really being said.)
Further, in Mark 2:7, the religious leaders asked, "Why does this man talk this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" And they were right! No one can forgive sins, but God alone. That is why Jesus was nearly stoned several times, because He dared say that He was God.
With that as a backdrop, you can see why Jesus is the Savior.

Jesus IS God. The trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are all the One True God. Just as you are made of a body, soul and spirit, there is only one of you. God is not Tri-plex (1+1+1=3), but rather Tri-une (1x1x1=1)
It didn't matter which part of the trinity said ""Beside me there is no Saviour", it was still God that said it.

because of the fact the Savior exchange into no longer beside the father, He exchange into "in" the father and the father exchange into in Him. the father and the Son (the Savior) are One. John 14:9-11 9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been see you later time with you, and yet hast thou no longer prevalent me, Philip? he that hath considered me hath considered the father; and how sayest thou then, coach us the father? 10Believest thou no longer that i'm interior the father, and the father in me? The words that I communicate unto you I communicate no longer of myself: however the father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11Believe me that i'm interior the father, and the father in me: otherwise have faith me for the very works' sake. Did you examine Isaiah 40 3:12? 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 12I have declared, and have stored, and that i've got shewed, while there exchange into no unusual god between you: as a result ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that i'm God. God Bless You!

Because it was not "God the Father" who said that - it was God the Son, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, who is the God of the Old Testament, who is Jesus Christ.
Also, there is no "he said, she said" beteween the persons of the Holy Trinity. They are One God in three Persons. So even if it were God the Father speaking through Isaiah (which was not the case), when One Person of the Holy Trinity speaks, acts, wills, etc., all three Persons of the Holy Trinity speak, act, will, etc. - because they are of one essence and indivisible in their divinity, yet hypostatically distinct as Persons.

In the Isaiah passage you refer to, the word translated Savior is not really a proper noun. It is the Hebrew word for liberation or victory.
What you see in the translation you are using is the translators messianic perspective, reading into the Hebrew original an idea that was not necessarily intended by the original writer.

Christian believe in the triple god - the father the son and the holy spirit. Therefore jesus is god and god is jesus, they're the same person. It's a paradox one of the many in this religion.

Jesus is God, the s ame thing... but read all of Isaiah, not that one thing only. don't take it out of context, you might get it after all. Keep on reading.

In my opinion, there is only one saviour. Since when could ANY dead man save you..from Abraham to Muhammad, peace be upon them?

Yes, Jesus is God, and so, that verse is valid, Jesus is the only savior.
