    You joke about hell because you think the comparison is the issue. It isn’t. The issue is guilt before God. Scripture does not ask whether you’re worse than Dahmer. It says, “there is none righteous, no, not one” ~Romans 3:10 and “all have sinned” ~Romans 3:23. God does not judge on a curve. He...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    Stop bluffing with “you don’t understand.” Your response dodges the text. I never said Jesus “chose English.” I quoted what John wrote under inspiration, because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” ~2 Timothy 3:16 and “thy word is truth” ~John 17:17. John records Jesus saying, “Before...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    You keep saying the charge was that He made Himself equal with God, and that is true. Scripture records it plainly ~John 5:18, ~John 10:33. But then you try to shrink the reason down to “He only meant He existed before Abraham.” That is where the fog starts. Christ did not say, “I existed...

    The Religion That Hates the Truth It Pretends to Preach

    If you believe my teaching contradicts Christ as “the way, the truth, and the life” ~John 14:6, then name the specific teaching and show it from Scripture. A charge without evidence proves nothing. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” ~1 Thessalonians 5:21.

    You’re not saved by surviving hardship, and you’re not condemned because life treated you unfairly. The question is not whether the universe noticed you. The question is whether you have come to Christ. Creation does not reconcile you to God. Scripture says creation only leaves man without...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    You just posted a wall of translators hoping quantity can overrule Scripture. It cannot. God did not tell us salvation hangs on which English rendering we prefer. He tied it to believing who Jesus is. Jesus did not say, “if you believe I existed a long time you will live.” He said, “if ye...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    Once again, it is not my opinion. It is what the bible actually says. You’re still trying to rescue your conclusion with “scholars” and grammar labels, but God never told us to submit to scholars. He told us to submit to Scripture. Jesus said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    It is not imagination to compare passages. Scripture teaches us to do exactly that. “Comparing spiritual things with spiritual” ~1 Corinthians 2:13. The Bible explains itself, so related passages are not unrelated when they speak about the same claim. Jesus’ statement cannot be isolated from the...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    Scripture never treats the condition of the heart as the only issue. The message must also be true. Paul warned that even sincere people can believe a false gospel, and if the message changes, “let him be accursed” ~Galatians 1:8. And the new birth comes through truth heard, not merely inner...

    False Christs, False Prophets and False Teachers. These are the days we live in.

    Yes, these warnings are real. But the danger is not just “bad teachers out there.” The danger is a false gospel being accepted as Christianity. Scripture does not leave it vague. “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you… let him be accursed” ~Galatians 1:8. That...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    Finding the truth is easy. God did not place it into the opinions of scholars and theologians. He placed it in His Word. “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” ~John 17:17. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” ~2 Timothy 3:16. We don’t have trouble accessing the Word. We...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    You speak much about what God’s name means, but you stopped where Scripture does not stop. God said, “I AM hath sent me unto you” ~Exodus 3:14, and He alone says, “beside me there is no God” ~Isaiah 44:6. That is the line in the sand. Only the LORD bears that name. Then Jesus stands in the...

    What is the meaning of I AM WHO I AM in Exodus 3:14?

    You can say you prefer a wording, but Scripture does not take orders from preference. Jesus did not say “before Abraham was, I was.” He said “before Abraham was, I am” ~John 8:58. Straightforward Greek there, ἐγώ εἰμι, present tense. Not a title used for convenience, but a statement of...

    You’re not being kept out of heaven because you wouldn’t like me there. You’re outside because you don’t want God there. Scripture says, “The carnal mind is enmity against God” ~Romans 8:7. That’s the real issue. Not personality, not preference. The human heart does not naturally want Him. Jesus...

    Sure, you are free not to believe in a God? You are free to choose, but not free from the consequence of the choice. God does not force belief. People reject Him all the time. Jesus said, “ye will not come to me, that ye might have life” ~John 5:40. So yes, you can refuse. But Scripture is...

    First, you’re right about one part. It is God who decides. No human sends anyone to heaven or hell. Scripture says, “The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son” ~John 5:22. But God has already told us the standard He will use, so it is not unknowable. Jesus said...

    Nobody is asked to believe blindly or shut off thinking. Scripture never defines faith as accepting a claim because someone told you. Faith is trusting what God has testified and He repeatedly calls people to examine it. Jesus said, “If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I...

    Another trans-shooter kills 8 at school including his mother and stepbrother

    The news this week about the school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada is heartbreaking. An 18-year-old who had a history of mental instability killed family members and then attacked a school, leaving multiple students and a teacher dead before taking their own life. Before anyone turns this...
