Paul also considers all things to be through God,
"one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."
(Ephesians 4:6).
Ephesians, Titus, gJohn, Revelation were not written by Paul, but many years later, when orthodox Christianity was evolving.Here is another example:
"we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed ."
Titus 2:13
Yes, but that was changing in the first century, just like in Philo of Alexandria's writings, where the master builder is the Word, and in Hebrews (1:10), God saying to his Son: “You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands"In Isaiah 44, God is the one and only master builder.
Paul followed the trend.
Not true: most often, "Lord" is closely associated with "Jesus".As a Jew, Lord is a normal title for God by Paul.
I understand you. You don't think Jesus is God, and so you prefer to detrinitize the verses as much as possible.
Paul considered Jesus as divine but never as God himself. Paul thought also Christ was inferior to God:
1 Cor 11:3 "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."
Not in 1 Corinthians for Paul for the Creator, just the master builder of the universe and the first being created by God.The ideas of Jesus being God, the Creator, the Lord over all, existing before any other being besides the Father are all over the NT and Paul.
Additional claims about Jesus were introduced progressively in later NT texts as part of the evolution of Christianity.
I am not interested by any dreamed up uniform Christian theology from a Christian perspective, just by the history of the beginning & evolution of early Christianity.It's mind blowing, so some people like Arianism and JWs prefer to down play this stuff as much as possible.
Cordially, Bernard
