Has any trinitarian these days ever come across an argument for proof of the deity of Christ that goes like this:

1. If X saves, X must be God. 2. Jesus saves. 3. Therefore, Jesus must be God. All the trinitarian books / articles / sermons I’ve ever come across have never attempted such a simplistic way of reasoning about the deity of Christ. Indeed, to even be logical, it must first show how God’s salvation (in #1) must be a salvation that only God is capable of (not any old salvation from any old thing) and that what Jesus saves from (in #2) is exactly this same thing God saves from. And if it did that, then the case would be strengthened for Jesus being God. But the bare bones of this argument – without fleshing them out – are illogical, which is why no trinitarian would present that alone as a logical argument. **If any trinitarian here has ever seen that argument presented, could they please cite the source and detail any accompanying reasoning?** **If your answer would be “No, I haven’t”, then could you explain what would be needed to flesh this out to make a logical case for the deity of Christ?**
