The Only True God and the Deity of Christ – Why Translations Matter Pt. 2a Members Public

In my previous discussion (/2019/06/05/the-only-true-god-and-the-deity-of-christ-why-translations-matter/), I employed the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Holy Bible to show that the Lord Jesus, in union with the Father, is identified as the only Master, Lord, and God of all creation, especially of believers.

Muslims think that the following Lukan text is in error and even proves that Jesus wasn’t killed: “Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.” Luke 13:33 These polemicists assume that the
