Key ideas in Biblical Christology: The Sonship of Jesus
- Paul uses distinct titles to identify two separate personages in every greeting
- The Father is consistently identified as the source of grace, separate from the Lord Jesus
- The repetition across all epistles establishes a standard of dual identity rather than singular identity
- The conjunction 'and' (kai) grammatically separates the Father from the Son
- Apposition would require a different grammatical structure to equate the two
- Apostolic greetings rely on this coordination to include Jesus alongside God without merging their identities
- The consistent separation of God and Jesus in Pauline salutations
- The grammatical function of the conjunction 'and' (kai) in greetings
- The redundancy of distinctions if Jesus were the Father
- The hierarchy established in Ephesians 1:17
- The Father alone is identified as the 'One God' (heis Theos)
- The preposition 'ex' (out of/from) identifies the Father as the sole origin
- Jesus is the 'One Lord' (heis Kyrios), the instrument through whom the Father acts
- The 'One God' vs 'One Lord' formula in 1 Corinthians 8:6
- Jesus uses the Greek 'ton monon alēthinon Theon' to categorize the Father exclusively
- The use of the third person creates a linguistic separation between the speaker (Jesus) and the subject (the only true God)
