"But to us there is but one God"

1 Corinthians 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, .... and one Lord Jesus Christ....

God in this passage is the Greek word theos (G2316) and speaks of deity.

The Greek word for lord is kurios (G2962) and is a title of honor and speaks of respect and reverence. It does not speak of deity. A word study on this word will support this.

This passage cannot be used to support the deity of the Messiah but it does show that there is but one God, the Father. If there is but one God, the Father, how then can Jesus be deity?
