Do you believe that there is only one Savior like Isaiah 43:11 asserts?

Question

I believe that a claim to be a Savior, in itself, is a claim to deity since there is only one Savior - God.

What is your take on this?

Answer 1

Yes. Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Jesus made an unmistakable claim to deity before the Chief Priests and the whole sanhedrin. Caiaphas the High Priest asked him: "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:61-62).
A biblically illiterate person (such as 99% of Yahoo) might well have missed the importance of Jesus words. Caiaphas and the Council, however, did not. They knew that in saying he was "the SON OF MAN" who would come "ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN" he was making an overt reference to the SON OF MAN in Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 7:13-14). And in doing so, he was not only claiming to be the preexistent Sovereign of the Universe but prophesying that he would vindicate his claim by judging the very court that was now condemning him.

Answer 2

Jehovah was the only Savior to Israel at that time. Since Jesus shed his blood after his death, we now gain salvation through Christ, from God Almighty.

Answer 3

Yes, that's right.

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope— the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." Titus 2:11-14\

Ac 20:28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

Answer 4

The questioner seems remarkably willing to ignore the fact that Almighty Jehovah (God the Father) delegates.

(1 John 4:14) The Father has sent forth his Son as Savior of the world

(John 3:17) God sent forth his Son into the world... for the world to be saved through him.

(Acts 5:30,31) The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus... God exalted this one as Chief Agent and Savior

Answer 5

I agree

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Since God was not born, only Christ Jesus would qualify to be a 'child born' that could also be called Everlasting Father..... Also, each chapter of Titus refers to both God and Christ as Savior...

Answer 6

I am in total agreement. Throughout the Old Testament there are substitute delivers, Noah and Moses being two. They obeyed God and He set them in a place to affect history.

But God is the true Savior.
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. (2 Samuel 22)

That's Jesus, make no mistake! Glory to the Most High God!

Answer 7

A claim to be a Savior is a claim to deity and Jesus made that claim.
