Wrong! Try a little research. Or, better yet, try reading all of my post #97."Praise ye the Lord" or just "Praise."

There is an order of things in the breakdown of revelation, but not in the end, which is One as in the beginning.
You lost me there. I was referring to the name of God being One in the end rather than three or any other, and that even we will refer to ourselves as "I AM." Which is to say, we "shall be perfect just as our Father in heaven is perfect." This we do even now, saying "I am Scott" or "I am Robert", but then with a "new name."I too believe there is an order of things in all the Bible as you likely do to sir, Revelation covers the first thing created, as well as many things that are yet future. It stated right off however that it was written for God's slaves, logically then only they would have a good grasp of what is being revealed in it.
Do you know the meaning of "Hallelujah"? Why would this phrase be used for the Father in Rev. 19:1-6 if the name were not to be used by Christians?

Yes, it is good that we have come full circle...because "God's name" is not the point of the passage of God speaking to Moses.I am thinking that I misunderstood what you were trying to say with your last post sir, my mistake. Yes, we do say I am many times and of course we are not claiming we are God any more than Jesus was when he said it. I am glad that you realize that I AM is not God's name now, but is a quality of His.
The inspired New Testament Greek text uses “Lord” when quoting the Old Testament where the abbreviated name appears.
That’s good enough for me to have peace with using “Lord”.
I don't believe imperfect human beings have the right or authority to take God name out of the scriptures.
They didn’t.
God told the inspired writers to write the four letter mystery name.
It shows God’s foreknowledge of the revelation of the name Jesus by which all men would be saved.
Jesus never once said I am in reference to that passage Scott, rather he made God's name known. If you feel he did, then please post it sir.Yes, it is good that we have come full circle...because "God's name" is not the point of the passage of God speaking to Moses.
God did answer Moses with His name as He was known by Israel, but again, that is not the point. The point of the passage is that God first defined Himself...which is the better name, and it is that name that comes out in the gospels first spoken by Jesus as "I am" and then confirmed by the Spirit as the "name above every other name." Which was not spoke of Him either, but only eluded to, a new name Revelation 3:12, Revelation 19:12.
Jesus repeated "I am" many times, and yes, it is easily explained away or disregarded, unless one is inclined to give ear to the Spirit who gives continuity to it all on that narrow way down through all the ages--even stating at the end of such revelations that the name above every name was not given, but is to be "new" rather than old.Jesus never once said I am in reference to that passage Scott, rather he made God's name known.

The reason is as I said, that although the words "I am" are a common thing just as much of what is written that would seem to be merely literary, there is also something there that is only heard by those to whom God makes it known. Is it not brilliant that such a common non-name completely defines God and says "Jehovah" without actually saying it?He sure did as you and I do as well, in fact the term appears 698 times in the KJV. It is important to know however that none of us are claiming to be God because He said it as well as an identifying quality of His once to Moses. Seems like so many including yourself put great emphasis on Ex 3:14 for some reason.
