Christians claim that Jesus is God because he is called the Savior, but the Old Testament says Yahweh is the only Savior, indicating that Jesus is merely an agent used by God.

The Old Testament clearly states that there is no savior besides Yahweh, as seen in Isaiah 43:10-11 and Hosea 13:4. However, the argument overlooks the distinction between human agents used by God and the unique role of Jesus. The human saviors mentioned in the Old Testament delivered Israel from physical oppression, not from sin. In contrast, Jesus is described as providing salvation from sin and eternal life, a role that belongs solely to God. Furthermore, the New Testament reinforces the idea that salvation originates from Jesus, as seen in Revelation 7:10, where salvation is attributed to both God and the Lamb. This indicates that Jesus shares in the divine nature and authority to grant salvation. The Old Testament also emphasizes that salvation belongs to the Lord, which aligns with the New Testament's portrayal of Jesus as the source of salvation. Moreover, the concept of God redeeming His people from their sins is central to both the Old and New Testaments. Verses like Psalm 130:7-8 and Exodus 19:5 highlight God's redemptive purpose. Jesus fulfills this purpose by offering a complete and eternal redemption, further establishing his divine identity as the Savior.
