Does Paul call Jesus "God" in Titus 2:13? [5 pages]
by David Maas rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
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.

Commentary on John 8.24
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, John Lynn [1 page]
rated at 1 (out of 5 votes)
Trinitarians occasionally cite this verse to try to show the necessity of believing their doctrine, and unfortunately sometimes even to intimidate those who doubt it. They supply the word “God” after “I am,” not from the text, but from the dictates of their doctrine, and make the verse read: “For if you believe not that I am [God], ye shall die in your sins.”
