I don't think so. That kind of language is used in other places in the Bible. If anything it shows how far Judaism could flex before breaking.

A set of behavioral and ideological instructions based upon the framework of a narrative not explicitly communicated but constantly alluded to as foundational, and assumed by the author to be shared by the reader in part or in whole. Christians say alot of things, now and then.
Lord, yes, Saviour, no. When James talks about salvation he talks about "salvation through works", not through Jesus.
