Jesus = God

Take 15 minutes and read the book of Titus in the New Testament and you will find a not so subtle belief held by Paul.  Among the qualifications for elders, among the thoughts of what should be taught to different groups of people and among admonishment to be subject to leaders and do what is good, Paul repeats one point to Titus three different times. Once in each chapter.


Titus 1:3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
Titus 1:4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

Titus 2:10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
Titus 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,


Titus 3:4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
Titus 3:6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Now is Paul confused about who the "savior"  is and who God is, or is he trying to make a point?  God the father is just as much the savior of humanity as the Jesus is. And Jesus is just as much God, as the Father is.
Jesus = God
