Clearly barley,You have no grasp on the active voice of the Greek words. Learn about it and then learn how you actually have to be existing before you can say 'I am' in the active voice.Also, Abraham lives…Let scripture speak:26“But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the b…[Read more]

Quote (Is 1:18 @ Sep. 19 2011,02:42)You're doing a great job in this thread Kathi. I agree with you, many times Yeshua applied the “I AM” title to Himself and the significance was not lost on his listeners (e.g. John 8:59). The important point, which seems to escape t8 every time, is when He applies “ego eimi” to Himself it is unpredicated. So…[Read more]

So barley,I was wondering…could you say this:”Before my grandfather was born, I AM?”didn't think so.

Paladin,Quote You are correct, in that spirit is genitive. I've got to stop posting when I get tired.The nominative neuter singular relative pronoun “o” replaces spirit which is genitive neuter singular, not sword which is accusative feminine singular.It does not throw off my understanding of the verse because I was not even aware I was stating…[Read more]

So Jesus told them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught me.Summing Himself up as I AM is brilliant. It is such a simple, yet profound statement. It is such an undefined and non-limiting name that Jesus is relating…[Read more]

Quote Who did Jesus claim to be?I AM

Actually, if you feel the need to substitute I AM for the Hebrew word, you would use 'eh yeh. His name is 'eh yeh according to Exodus 3:14.That would look like this:John 8:28 So Jesus told them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that 'eh yeh, and that I do nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the…[Read more]

Mike,Who is the Lord in this verse?Matthew 11:25 (NASB) 25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. And who is the 'God' in this verse:Hebrews 1:8But of the Son He says, "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND…[Read more]

Mike,Quote Yet for US, there is only ONE God………….THE FATHER. And one Lord…………Jesus Christ.That makes two that are deity for millions of those of us who have faith in the deity of the Father and the Son.

Mike,I'm still researching this but you can cross off Nebuchadnezzar and Artaxerxes. Neither of them are kings of kings. They are both singular, i.e. king of kings according to the morphology that is in my new study tool.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Sep. 12 2011,20:40)Kathi,How many θεοὶ are mentioned in John 1:1?  (θεοὶ is the plural form of theos)none. But there are two who are theos in John 1:1 and they are not the same person.

Quote (Pastry @ Sep. 15 2011,03:07)Kathi!  Then why does it say Jehovah is God the Most Hogh God ALONE in \Psa 83:18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.  The Bible does not contradict itself.  Mike and t8 are right…..IreneIrene,Look at this verse:Isaiah 44:24 Thus said Jehovah, thy re…[Read more]

Here is another of those verses in the OT that has a plural translated as a singular:Ecclesiates 12:1 Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no delight in them”;Here, the word 'Creator' is actually a plural word in the original Hebrew.A couple of…[Read more]

Mike,Quote 2 Chronicles 28:16 NIVAt that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help.This word 'king' is translated as 'kings' in many versions.

Thanks Mike, I am going to have a look at those in my new study tool.
