Since other prophets were also called saviors, this title applied to Jesus does not imply his divinity.

Dr. Badawi argues that the title 'savior' does not imply divinity since it is used for other figures in the Old Testament. However, this overlooks the context in which the term is applied. In the Old Testament, saviors are associated with deliverance from physical oppression and captivity, as seen in passages like 2 Kings 13:5 and Nehemiah 9:26-27. These instances refer to temporal salvation from enemies, not spiritual salvation from sin. In contrast, Jesus is described in the New Testament as the Savior who delivers people from their sins, as stated in Matthew 1:21, where it is proclaimed that he will save his people from their sins. This distinction is crucial; Jesus' role as Savior encompasses a divine authority that transcends mere physical deliverance. He is identified as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29) and the Savior of the world (John 4:42). Furthermore, Jesus' claim of authority is unique. While Badawi suggests that being given authority implies Jesus cannot be God, it is essential to understand that Jesus willingly took on the role of servant during his earthly ministry. Philippians 2:6-7 explains that he, though in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited but emptied himself. This self-emptying does not negate his divinity but rather fulfills the divine plan of salvation, showcasing his unique position as the Savior of both the physical and spiritual realms.
