Thanks for pointing out yet another Trinitarian verse.
As
@TibiasDad astutly pointed out,
αρχηγον translates to Originator, Founder, or Author. Couple that with the fact that Jesus is the Savior (
σωτηρα), that makes Jesus the Originator of our Salvation, Life itself. Those are attributes that only God has.
Acts 5:31 τουτον ο θεος
αρχηγον και
σωτηρα υψωσεν τη δεξια αυτου δουναι μετανοιαν τω ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων
When these facts are coupled with Revelation 3:21, where Jesus declares that He sits
with the Father on His throne, sharing the very seat of divine authority and rule, the unitarian con job collapses entirely, for no created being, prophet, or exalted man ever shares God’s throne (Isa 42:8). This demonstrates that Jesus is the
ἀρχηγός of salvation and is sovereign with the Father.
Keep those Trinitarian verses coming!
Yep, contrary to what a Unitarian might say
A forgiver of sin as well
Acts 5
31God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Acts 5:31 (ESV) — 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 5:31 (BBE) — 31 Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.
Who BTW is a king of kings
1 Tim 6:15which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the
King of kings and Lord of lords,
Rev 17:14“These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and
King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
Rev 19:16And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
as shown by even translations a unitarian has appealed to
Revelation 17:14 (Geneva) — 14 These shal fight with the Lambe, & the Lambe shal overcome them: for he is Lord of Lords, & King of Kings: & they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 17:14 (Tyndale 1536) — 14 These shall fyght with the lame/and the lambe shall overcome them: For he is Lords of Lordes/and kynge of kynges: and they that are on his syde/are called/and chosen and faythfull.
1 Timothy 6:14–15 (Tyndale 1536) — 14 that thou kepe the commaundement/and be without spotte and unrebukeable/untyll the appearynge of our Lord Jesus Christ/15 which appearynge (when the tyme is come) he shall shewe that is blessed & myghty only/kynge of kynges/and lorde of lordes/
1 Timothy 6:15 (GB) — 15 Which in due time he shal shewe, that is blessed and prince onely, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords,
