Examine the Verse
Titus 2:13
This verse is cited as implying support to the Trinitarian belief that Jesus Christ is God ―the eternal second person God the Son who took on a human body and nature and became
both man and God. Thus, Jesus Christ is fully man and fully God simultaneously.

	looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:13, New King James Version)
	We are filled with hope, as we wait for the glorious return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. [a] Footnote: a. Titus 2:13 the glorious return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ: Or "the glorious return of our great God and our Savior Jesus Christ" or "the return of Jesus Christ, who is the glory of our great God and Savior." (Titus 2:13, Contemporary English Version)
	awaiting the blessed hope of the appearance of the Glory of the great God and of our Saviour Christ Jesus, (Titus 2:13, James Moffatt New Testament)
	Trinitarian Belief in God and Jesus Christ:  Trinitarians believe in the Trinity, that God is the "Triune God" existing as three persons― God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but one being. All three are eternal with no beginning. Members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. Trinitarians believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal second person "God the Son", who took on a human body and nature and became both man and God.  Thus is Jesus is fully man and fully God simultaneously.
	Apostle's admonition, warning and unique way of teaching: 1. No prophecy of scripture is a matter of personal interpretation. (II Pt. 1:20, NAB) 2. Do not go beyond  what is written. (I Cor. 4:6, NIV)  3. We do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. (1 Cor. 2:13, NLT)

	Points to Consider:
	1.  Notice that the words "God and Savior" in the New King James Version, both appear to refer to Jesus Christ. 2.  However, also take notice that in the James Moffatt Version,  the word "God" appear to refer to God, and the word "Saviour" appear to refer to the Christ Jesus. 3.  How can the above verse be interpreted to mean "Jesus Christ is the great God and Savior" when Apostle Paul himself clearly wrote this in the very beginning of the same letter to Titus:    To Titus, a true son in our common faith:  Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. (Titus 1:4, NKJV) Thus, Apostle Paul clearly distinguishes "God the Father" and the "Lord Jesus Christ our Savior". THEREFORE, the rendition of the above verse that would make it appear that "Christ is God" is erroneous. On the other hand, the rendition of the above verse that distinguishes God from Christ, as in Titus 1:4, is correct. 4.  Moreover, how can the above verse be interpreted to mean that "Christ is God" when Apostle Paul himself, the author of the above verse (Titus 2:13), clearly and unmistakably distinguishes God, the Father from the Lord Jesus Christ:    yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. (1 Corinthians 8:6, NKJV) 5.  Is Jesus God and Savior? Click link to Interesting Question #37
