Proposition # 16: The passages of Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1 clearly call Jesus Christ “God.”
Response: Let’s note the entire passage of Titus 2:11-13,
“For the Grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men, training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passion, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world, awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the Glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
What has appeared “for the salvation of all men”? Not “God,” as many suppose, but the “Grace [1] of God,” the personification of which is Jesus Christ.
Further along he is called the “Glory of our great God and Savior.” In Titus 3:4 he is called the “Goodness and Loving-kindness of God, our Savior.” In 2 Peter 1:1 he is called the “Righteousness of our God, and Savior.” So in these passages Jesus is not being called God.
