Uh... false dichotomy.

"just" a teacher? No.
"or" a Savior? No.

Jesus IS Savior.

Jesus is my rabbi/teacher. In his authentic life and teachings he points me powerfully in the direction of God.

Yes he is.

Saves by teaching: Teaches by saving.

 

[Rhamiel]

He is a teacher
He is Savior
He is King
He is Priest
He is Sacrifice

He is True God and True Man

According to Titus 2:11-14, our salvation involves being saved from the penalty of our sins by Messiah giving himself to redeem us from all lawlessness, but it also involves being saved from continuing to sin by being trained by grace to do what God has revealed to be godly, righteous, and good, and training us to renounce doing what He has revealed to be ungodly and sinful, so in part Jesus is our savior from sin by teaching us to refrain from sin.

Isaiah 9:6

When Jesus walked the earth, He was called Rabbi (teacher)and yet also a Servant in order to teach us (washing the feet of His disciples). Later when He died on the cross for us, He became our Saviour, and in the heavens to the earth He is our King.

 

[Galatea]

If He is not Saviour, then He was the worst teacher the world has ever known. He taught that He is the Son of God and there is no other way to Heaven but through himself. He taught that He was the sacrifice "This is my body, this is my blood". He taught His resurrection.

If He is not Saviour, He is the most abominable liar and megalomaniac and He taught heresy.

Jesus is a teacher who proclaimed the words that can save.

The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
John 6:63

I disagree, it is not the words that save- but the Word that saves, there is a difference.

If Jesus is not the Saviour, then He is a monster. He can not be a good teacher without being the Saviour as well.

It was a partial quote in the verse that he gave and that is what Jesus said. I know what you mean and how easy that can have a different meaning. Thanks for pointing that out.

I was not intending to be contentious, it just seems that there is a dangerous slope, here.

Oh, I agree with you. There are tons of things said on here everyday that are somehow twisted or misconstrued. It's why I thanked you for pointing that out for others that may see the same as you just did.

Thank you, I have been a little bossy lately. And was not sure if I were out of bounds.

Goes with the red hair?

It's quite alright. I get like that too sometimes. We're all imperfect.
