REV 2Pet1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith of equal privilege with ours because of the righteousness shown by our God, and our Savior Jesus Christ.
It saddens me that there is a debate on the subject, it only shows the deception that the serpent has over this world. May the grace of Yahweh be with you always. 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏

Once the scales are removed from one's eyes and the Bible is read without any preconceived ideologies, it is impossible to think that Jesus is God. If Jesus is the Son of God, then he cannot be God Himself. I find it amazing how so many supposedly super intelligent people, especially Bible scholars who I like and admire, cannot understand this.
These esteemed Theologians ect do not want to lose their standing and their handsomely paid salaries with the Trinitarian community. The Bible says people have selfish motives for not following Jesus Christ. And let's face it if you don't acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God you don't have the true Son of God.
So true, there's no going back once you understand who Jesus truly is, the divinely conceived, only begotten Son of God, Messiah of Israel, glorified and ruling and reigning at the right hand of Almighty God, invested with all power and authority on this earth to conquer every demon and save every soul who comes to him. His name is higher than any other and the only name whereby we may be saved.
Peter also said 1 Peter 1:3 KJV Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

What i dont understand about those who say Jesus just is God, if they call Him God, who is His God to them, Jesus very clearly has a God, the most high is just that..the most high and has no God above Him, so who is the God of Jesus to those who insist He Himself just is God?

Well explained. Indeed, it is striking how few scriptures actually call Jesus God - ansd even these are ambiguous and can be translated differently. Is Jesus called ho theos?
1 Peter 1:1 is complete anomaly if it's understood the way trinitarians understand it. That should tell us that something is going on with this verse that should be investigated, which trinitarians that are grasping for straws at this point will never do.
by pointing out the "wordplay" of our GOD, and Savior Jesus Christ or Our GOD and Savior, Jesus Christ you fall smack into another quandary of God being "savior" and Jesus being Savior. What do you say about the bible making clear reference to GOD as Savior as well as there being but ONE and only One Savior then as you state here; Jesus is the Savior . I do agree with your view of this passage however.
I pondered this for a couple of years. Then it came clear when considering what was special about the day Jesus died. He died on a passover. He is called the "lamb of God" quite a few times. Think passover lamb, the blood of which is the covering from the death angel. Death passes by the one who by their free will come "under the blood." Now at first passover... was the lamb God? Who provided the lamb? who believed and came under the blood of covering against death? Back there in egypt God promised, the father of family provided the lamb, so saving his family. The lamb saved by being the provision of the father of the family. The recipients saved themselves by obediently believing and coming under its blood by their own faith in Gods promise. Do you see? ultimately its God who provides the salvation promise and the lamb. Jesus saves by obediently being the provision that God provides. And we save ourselves by a willful response in faith in that provision of God. Only God could make that salvation work, but Jesus and us the recipients played an obedience faith part in the equation. If it still worries you that a man could be raised and made lord (acts2:36) then think about Joseph, and look at all the parallels with Jesus. Joseph gets raised, seated at Pharaohs right hand, given allpower and authority, and guess what... he WASNT an egyptian, just a humble servant betrayed by his brethren and given up for dead. Yet he forgives his brethren and saves them and blesses everything he touches. blessings.
Yes, Jesus is God. However, He is a non-almighty God. This means the only reason He is God is because of his identity: HE is God. The almighty God is here only in the form of a spirit, He is the "Spirit of God". This means actually NOBODY is here. This is why Jesus is the only King of heaven, in reality the almighty God is missing.
@@HashilushHakodesh757 Yes. Both things are true: Jesus is God because He is the ONLY KING OF HEAVEN, Jesus is NOT almighty, see Jesus' own statements. Jesus HAD BEEN THE FATHER, this is why He says "He who has seen me has seen the Father". "SON" means He DERIVES from God, He isn't an "actual" Son. He "derives" in that He got rid of his power. The Son is thus at the same time NOT DISTINCT from the Father because He had been that almighty God, yet He is also DISTINCT from the Father, since the Father is the almighty God - in the form of a spirit now - and Jesus is like a normal man, with no power at all ("the Father is greater than I"), Jesus does not know the future either. Since God is made by the Father + the Son "I am in the Father and the Father is in me", you could say that God is more than One (They are not the same One) and less than Two in number (They are not two distinct). The Holy Spirit is the Father in the form of a spirit (Jn. 4:23,24). The Father is ABSENT, this is why Jesus is the King of heaven, not the Father. Jesus indeed sits next to the POWER because He hasn't got his own.

Just as Jesus is the "Lord and Savior" in 1 Peter 1:11 so too is He the "God and Savior" in 1 Peter 1:1.
