    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    As I already said: I already made my point. Whoever is new to the topic, he can read behind some good points. I am not the kind of person who like to repeat and repeat and repeat the same when it is already clear. This is my last post in the topic. Hopefully some interested persons can make...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    I have already made clear the point for which I opened this topic: the expression I AM is not biblical, nor does it matter to God who uses it, much less to Jesus, who never spoke of something like that. It is a fanciful invention of some speculators who like to imagine things and invent wacky...

    Find any errors in these excerpts from my study of John 1:1c

    Grammar is not a field for newbies to brag about... The meaning of a word in Greek is more than a copy/paste from GreekBoston.com The word "god" in Greek means many diferent things depending not only if it is in a specific case, but depending on to whom it is aplied, if it has the definite...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Jesus clearly said that Jehovah, the One who Jews say is their God, is his Father (John 8:54,55). Even if it seems very obvious and basic, many people have not yet realized that when Jesus Christ was talking about his Father, his listeners were thinking on Jehovah, the God of the OT, the God...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    The words "messiah" and "christ" mean the same thing: "anointed". Implicit in the definition of these synonyms is the fact that an Anointed one, Christ or Messiah, cannot in any way be the same person who anoints. It was Jehovah who anointed Jesus: (ASV) Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    This thread is not about the trinity. Some people have an obsession with that topic, and they want to talk about the same everywhere, diverting all biblical topics towards the same, and speaking ill of those who do not believe in that doctrine of the Catholic Church. This thread is about the...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    There are still many more ways to identify Jehovah, the God of the OT, as the God mentioned by Jesus and the inspired writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures. One of them is the application of the following text from the pre-Christian Scriptures: Ps. 2:7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah...

    1Peter 3:18

    Very accurate info. Jesus was the "cornerstone" of the real God's spiritual temple (Ps. 118:22; Matt. 21:42) or the head of THE BODY, like some people say: of the Church. I agree with you, that when he said he would rise "the temple of his body" (John 2:21) he was referring to the "one and...

    Why does darkness not comprehend the light?

    In a strictly literal sense, no matter how dark there is, if a light is turned on, the darkness cannot prevent it from spreading. Jesus used a similar example in Matt. 5:14-16. The area of Galilee was considered an area of spiritually lost people, because it had a history of being an area with...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    This topic is not about the English form Jehovah that translates the Tetragrammaton in so many Bibles since centuries ago ... I do accept and will use that form because everyone who speaks English knows to whom it refers to and who is Jehovah, and certainly you do not know what God thinks about...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    When the Scriptures are studied thoroughly, conscientiously, we discover many truths that are rarely discussed. For example, in Heb. 1:1,2 we read the following: (KJV) Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    In the same Psalm quoted before, we read the following: Ps. 110:4 Jehovah has sworn an oath, and he will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever In the manner of Melchizedek!” Only there can we read about the appointment of Jesus as a priest ... According to this text, who swore that...

    1Peter 3:18

    I totally agree with you, @BARNEY BRIGHT . Spiritual beings like angels have a body that is not like ours, but is distinguishable from each other. That individual characteristic allows them to have their own personal name, such as the angel Gabriel or the Archangel Michael. They can also...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    Another way to identify Jehovah in the NT is related to this Hebrew text: Psal.110:1 Jehovah declared to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” According to that Psalm, who would sit Jesus at the right hand of Him? That is the only pre-Christian...

    GOD in the OT and GOD in the NT

    If we read the Pentateuch carefully, we will realize that Jehovah told Moses that he would raise up a prophet like himself in the future: Deut. 18:15 Jehovah your God will raise up for you from among your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to him. 16 This is in response to what you...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    So? What is your point? I am not talking about that here.

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    @Heart2Soul You said before that God has a name and you said is Yahweh. Now you are trying to tell that nobody knew God's name before Moses. What is your point exactly? I don't wanna loose my time without knowing what is the point you are trying to remark in this topic ... which is about that I...

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    Psal. 83:18 is a good example. When Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt, he caused his name to be mentioned in many surrounding lands. When the Israelites were about to enter Canaan to conquer it, the Canaanites had already heard about the victories of JEHOVAH, the God of the Israelites. All...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    The trinity is not in the Bible ... Nor it is in the Bible "the eternal" as the name of God, and much less in Mark 12:29, which is a quote from Deut. 6:4,5.

    Where did they invent that I AM is some name of God?

    This topic is not about the trinity. It is about the expression I AM which some people say is a name of God, based on what he told Moses. I have demonstrated throughout the thread with reasonable arguments, that such a name of God does not exist. That invention was after the first century...
