Or is it divided.
Some Christian denominations believe Jesus Christ is Lord the Saviour.
And other Christians believe he is simply God's son, and nothing else.
Previous posts have me very confused on this issue. I thought all Christians believed that Jesus Christ was the Lord.

Some Christians do not believe he is both Lord and Saviour, and the Son of God..
For some, it is both, for others it is only Son of God, not Lord...

You are correct.
Some do and some don't.
Whoah watch out for all the thumbs downs I am about to receive!

Divided understandings is what Jesus said what he came for. Search you apostle's writings and you will find that Jesus said, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace on earth, I did not come to bring peace but a sword......continue to read Matthew 10:34-37." And then read also what he said in Luke 12:49-53...he brought DIVISION AND NOT PEACE.
It will give you the reason why Christianity is divIded in their beliefs. Jesus words never fails.
Read also the following and digest his words well so you will know if the world have been deceived or not.
Matthew 24:4-8
Mark 13:5-8
Luke 21:8-11
All of the three Apostles have written about Jesus warning his disciples about the deceiver who will come using his name and will tell everybody that he is the Christ.
Are not all Christian religions coming in the name of Jesus and telling the world that he is the Christ? What did he say about them? Did he not say they are the deceivers?
Now you will get more confused. That is how the devil works.

"Lord the Savior" is not a phrase that I've heard anyone use. "Lord and Savior" is perhaps what you meant. What do you mean when you say some believe he is "God's son and nothing else"? How is that different from saying "he is the Messiah and nothing else" or "Lord the Savior" and nothing else? I think perhaps you need to figure out what your question is and try asking it again.
If you meant to ask whether everyone who calls themselvs a Christian is a devoted follower of Jesus, then obviously the answer is no. And if you ask whether some people who follow Jesus are willing to acknowledge that he was wrong about some things (such as the world ending within the lifetime of his generation), the answer would be yes. There is certainly diversity within Christianity, but some focus on Jesus and his teachings and the way he reveals God to us would be part of the emphases of just about any group that calls itself "Christian".

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, but he is not God, but the Son of God. Colossians 1:15.

Jesus Christ is both Lord and Savior and God's son. You're basically rephrasing the same fact. It's like asking if a zebra is black with white stripes or white with black stripes.
Here is an easy analogy - Prince Charles had a son - Prince William. If I were to ask you, "Is Prince William royal or is he Prince Charles' son?" What would you say? You would say that he is both. So it is with Jesus Christ. He is first and foremost my Lord and Savior but also he is God's son.

I believe that Jesus was a man that attained what we all are aspiring to: Christhood. I do not believe he was our savior, and I believe that we are all the sons and daughters of God, so did Jesus.
I am Christian, in a way. But, Jesus did not save us. It is up to us to save us. Jesus was there to help guide us and give us light.
Also, just because a denomination of a religion thinks one thing, it doesn't mean a follower of that sect. believes it. Not all Democrats believe in global warming.

Traditional denominations believe that Jesus is God. They believe that there is one God that exists in three persons. At one point in the Gospels, Jesus claims to be "I Am", this was the name that God used when He spoke to Moses at the burning bush. But you are correct that not every denomination or sect believes this, just most.

I believe that Jesus is not God, but is the son of God. He did come to the earth and died in our behalf.
