Absurd rationalization. You are using 'they' as a standard of right based on your theology, then rejecting it when it conflicts later. Classic case of double standard.

Jesus told us to sell our coat to buy a sword. You are carefully disingenous in pretending that was a metephorical sword. I've asked you to honestly answer. You could not, showing yourself the most disingenuous poster I've come across on these boards. May God have mercy on your soul.

More backdoor entry attempts. "They" are not the word of God. When "they" executed Jesus, where they right then also? If not, why are you using them as a standard of right in the former case but disavowing them as a standard of right in the latter case?

More disingenuous. Which was disingenuous.

LOL. Mark, it IS what I am talking about. Much love.

Agreed. We ought to arm ourselves as Jesus commanded.

Deny 1 COR 11:3 all you want.

Identity is not I am but existence, as Mark pointed out. Worse, your own post tells the story 5 Words <> 2 words. Jesus is NOT saying what God said.

I did answer you. It's just that you do not like the answer. BTW, you do this a lot. I give an answer and you immediately ask me what I just answered. I guess it's what makes you, you. To summarize @Pierac's post. What Jesus said and what God said regarding their existence are not the same. Do...

See how you dodge questions?

@Pierac and I believe what Jesus said there, just not what Christendom is imposing as the interpretation of what it means.

No. The only question is why would anyone think this is a claim to deity?

See @Pierac's brilliant 1st post in this thread.

I think his point is the "Great, I am" is actually "I am that I am" (or "I am what I am becoming" a variant declaration of his essential characteristic, immortal, existing eternally). So, no matter how you slice it, Jesus never claimed to be God. What's more, "I am" is not a name of any kind...

The 'audience' does not have ears to hear.

Agreed. It is a fallacy of argumentation. They cannot attack your flawless argument, so they attack you personally. If only you weren't so childish. If only you worded it more diplomatically. Yea, right! WHAT is the matter not WHO.

Wow! The OP and others use Jesus' statement of his existence to be his identity, right? Beyond that subterfuge is the translators inconsistently translating the same words. ego eimi = ego eimi = ego eimi

In your estimation, did this thread start off with the love you refer or is the burden only on @Pierac?

Resort to name calling = you have lost the argument.

What an outstanding analysis! Bravo, my man!!
