Savior
Σωτῆρος Sōtēros is the Greek word for saviour. The word sōtēros in Greek is the word that Augustus Caesar applied to himself. He said he was the savior!
He was the Savior of the world of Rome and with his power as Emperor he was able to establish his “Pease on earth,” with his "Pax Romana". He had coins minted with his head on them which were loaned into circulation.
He also set up a system of social welfare through the state run temples. The free bread of Rome was the Qorban of Caesar. Like the Corban of Herod and the Pharisees they were systems of "legal charity" which were the antithesis of the Corban of Christ which based on fervent charity.
Christ was a different kind of savior. The table of Christ set men free but the table of Caesar made men merchandise and often will curse children.
- "And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." John 4:42
It has always been a danger to the liberty to eat the dainties at the table of rulers. Christ forbid His Church to be like those men who call themselves benefactors but but who exercise authority one over the other.
- "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;" 1 Timothy 1:1
Can anyone honestly claim to be a follower of Christ while the eat at the table of Caesar or of any rulers who calls themselves benefactors of the people who exercise authority one over the other to put those dainties of rulers on the welfare of the State?[1]
- "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:" Philippians 3:20
The phrase "our conversation"[2] is from the Greek word politeuma when Paul reminds the people if Jesus is their king then the "the administration of civil affairs or of a commonwealth" of Christians is in the kingdom of heaven which is one form of government and the laws by which it is administered" is the law of love, not force or "covetous practices" through men who force our neighbor and our brothers to contribute to our social welfare through the civil authority of Caesar and the dainties he offers upon it.
Caesar's world has its own "constitution of a commonwealth, form of government and the laws by which it is administered]] which provides free bread and welfare which offer a table of benefits which are a snare which make the "commonwealth of citizens" human resources and curse children as the surety for dept until all are in a "state" of bondage. Peter, Paul, David and the and all prophits have been warning from the beginning.
This was the Christian conflict with the world of the "government of Rome" which was not like the "kingdom of God".
- "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Grace÷ and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord," 2 Peter 1:1
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. 19 He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
