		In this case two qualifications to Sharp's rule are relevant: first, that these are proper names, and second, that it is unknown whether Sharp's rule applies uniformly to cases of three nouns in sequence.
		While most antitrinitarians try to deny the validity of Sharp's rule to escape the deity of Christ in Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1, some Oneness writers have tried to use Sharp's rule to buttress their claim that Jesus is not only God, but is in fact God the Father.
		Indeed, Sharp's fifth rule states that when two nouns are connected by kai and neither of them are preceded by the definite article, they generally refer to two distinct persons or things.

	Trinitarian Apologetics: A Case Study Involving Rob Bowman and Granville Sharp
		There is nothing arbitrary about the argument: Sharp's rule, combined with the natural linkage of the two titles, establishes a strong presumption in favor of the two titles applying to the same person.
		If Sharp's rule is valid - and the evidence clearly supports it - then 1:1 does say that Jesus is God; and if 1:2 is meant to say that Jesus is not God, then 1:2 does not "clarify" 1:1, it contradicts it.
		First of all, Sharp's rule does not apply to proper names, and it does not always apply to nouns that are used with the force of proper names, or expressions that contain a noun and a proper name.

		Also, as we noted earlier, the most frequent example of Sharp's rule, ho theos kai pater ("the God and Father"), has the equivalent of a proper name in one (probably both) positions, and yet the nouns apply to the same person.
		Another important clue is that the definite article tou is used with sôtêros hêmôn five of the six times that the expression occurs in Titus, the only exception being Titus 2:13.
		Also, Bowman does not really mean that Jesus is God; he means, as we discussed previously, that Jesus is God the Son, the second person in a consubstantial Triad, a Triad that is nowhere articulated in Scripture.

		Harry, Sharp himself penned the rules mentioned in a previous post.
		To say that the two nouns in Acts 2.23 are identical (as you did in an earlier post) due to Sharp's rule is painting with too broad of a brush.
		We'd do best to let Sharp define his own rule--which will not apply to Acts 2.23.
