Deep dives
Understanding Paul's Greetings
Paul's epistles consistently open with greetings that highlight a distinction between God the Father and Jesus Christ. Trinitarians often interpret these as affirmations of the Trinity, suggesting that such greetings support a belief in three distinct co-equal persons. However, an alternative interpretation focuses on the distinction being one of deity and humanity rather than separate divine persons. This perspective emphasizes that while Paul acknowledges both God and Jesus, he does so to affirm Jesus as the incarnation of God, essential for salvation.
