***That’s something that needs to be emphasized: the use of titles in Scripture.
Without a doubt a sadly neglected topic. As you observe correctly, Christ is a title, but so is the son of God.***
That’s not what the JWs say. :)
I have enquired further as to the beliefs of some of evangelical friends and coworkers, gently of course, and my previous posting to you about their understanding of the Trinity appears to be correct.
What do they say?

Surprisingly, the mainline Protestants maintain theological orthodoxy when it comes to the Holy Trinity (at least in theory) even though it is not to be found in "sola scriptura."
Rather, it seems, they accept the orthodox Trinitarian concept and then work their way backwards, searching the Bible for suitable verses and neglecting the preponderance of non-Trinitarian or even anti-Trinitarian verses that are all over the place.
That's the kind of "science" when you know what result you want and then devise experiments that will give you the desired result!
