Religion / Re: The "I Am" Sayings In The Book Of John by NNTR: 9:40pm
AbuTwins:
The "I am" sayings in the Gospel of John are significant statements where Jesus uses the phrase "I am" followed by a metaphorical description, such as "I am the bread of life" or "I am the light of the world." These statements are unique to the Gospel of John and are not found in the other Gospels.

I am the bread of life (John 6:35)
I am the light of the world (John 8:12)
I am the gate for the sheep (John 10:7)
I am the good shepherd (John 10:11)
I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25)
I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6)
I am the true vine (John 15:1)

In terms of modern scholarship and research, there is ongoing debate about whether these "I am" sayings can be directly traced back to the historical Jesus, considering that the Gospel of John was written later than the other Gospels. Here are some key points to consider:

- **Scholarly Views**: Some scholars argue that the "I am" sayings in John represent theological reflections and interpretations by the Johannine community rather than direct quotes from Jesus. They view these statements as a literary device used by the author of John to convey theological truths about Jesus.

- **Historical Authenticity**: Due to the unique nature of these sayings in the Gospel of John and the theological themes they emphasize, some scholars are cautious about attributing them directly to the historical Jesus. They suggest that these sayings may reflect the beliefs and teachings of the early Christian community that developed over time.

- **Contextual Considerations**: The Gospel of John is known for its distinctive theological and literary style compared to the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). The "I am" sayings play a central role in John's presentation of Jesus as the divine Son of God, which differs from the portrayal in the other Gospels.

In summary, while the "I am" sayings in the Gospel of John provide valuable insights into the theological perspectives of the early Christian community, their direct connection to the historical Jesus is a matter of scholarly debate. The unique theological emphasis and literary style of the Gospel of John suggest that these sayings may reflect the beliefs and interpretations of the Johannine community rather than verbatim statements spoken by Jesus during his ministry.

NNTR:
Hmm ....

You're way too far down the rabbit hole bro. I had a peer review look, and I resigned to doing a smh

He came into His creation as Jesus, because of many reasons, which I'll will list a few for you
1. In order to operate legally and lawfully on earth, one requires a human being body, hence God aka YHWH, aka Yahweh, required a human being body and/or flesh.
2. The name Jesus actually, in Hebrew is Yahshua, and in fact means, Yahweh Saves, or Salvation comes from Yahweh or Yahweh gives Salvation
3. The legal, lawful and legitimate way for entry into earth and to operate is via the door, hence the reason why God asked for Mary's consent first to use her door

Yes, God is known as I AM, I AM, aka I AM, that, I AM, but the Tetragrammaton, transliterated in four letters as YHWH or JHVH and/or articulated as Yahweh or Jehovah is not God's personal name (i.e. YHWH, aka Yahweh or even Jehovah, is not God's personal name.)

Yahweh or Jehovah, is a verbalisation of the tetragrammaton YHWH, and it is a descriptive expression, making a declaration that God will become that He will become.

It is within God's power to be I AM then fill in the blanks, aka YHWH, aka, the tetragrammaton, verbalised as Yahweh or Jehovah, and is capable of SENDING Himself, as the same person, to earth, in the person of Jesus Christ, being God Incarnate.

Reiterating, God's personal name is unknown. Period. In fact, no human being can know God's personal name, but its not just that alone, no human being can physically see God. The means for overcoming the latter (i.e. no human being can physically see God' problem or limitation) has its solution in Jesus Christ, God Incarnate. We get to physically see God and live, (i.e. not die) by proxy, Jesus Christ (i.e. .... Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father John 14:9b)

The implication of the descriptor, I AM, I AM, which in Hebrew is yhwh and when verbalised is pronounced as Yahweh, is that God will become whatever is necessary for God to carry out and achieve His plan(s), even if that includes, God becoming a human being, a man

You mixing everything up into a chaotic jumble

What Exodus 6:3 was explaining to Moses, is that the experience of God, that the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, had of Him was about Him being Influential and Powerful, but that Reputation wise speaking, the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, never had that opportunity of experiencing what His fame, greatness and pre eminence is

If tbh, when it comes to the crunch, what it would come down to, what would really matter, will be Romans 10:9. There is no two ways about this redeeming grace of God, my brother. Jesus Christ, is the watertight sudden intervention of God's saving grace.

Trust me, YHWH is Jesus Christ and vice versa. What you think Jesus is called Emmanuel for?. Or what does Emmanuel imply, huh?

Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.
John 1:1
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ),
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God Himself.


John 18:6
When Jesus said, “I am He,”
they drew back and fell to the ground.


Exodus 3:14
God replied to Moses, “ I Am Who I Am.
Say this to the people of Israel:
I Am has sent me to you.”


AbuTwins, in an inexhaustible way or manner tell, who you are, essentially fill your boots, tell as much as possible who you are (e.g. sex, status, what your stature is et cetera)
I'll set you off with this about you:
1. I am AbuTwins
2. I am one of two children born at the same birth (i.e. other half of a twin)
3. I am a respectable poster on NL

Now AbuTwins beloved, after reading Exodus 3:14 & John 1:1 in addition to participating in the above loosening up exercise, did it open anything up at all for you?

Well, you might have noticed that, you are, who you had above said, you are. (i.e. you are who, the 'I am' says/said you are)

Yes, two of the most powerful words in the world for both God and gods (i.e. you, I everyone) are 'I AM' and/or 'I am'. This for the simple fact that evidently whatever you put behind those two words (i.e. 'I AM' and/or 'I am') is your reality (i.e. something about you that has an existence and/or substance)

Do not underestimate or underrate the power of 'I AM' and/or 'I am', as John 18:6 above demonstrated how powerful the force in those two words is

Also 'I AM ...' and/or 'I am ...' is one of the most powerful statements one can ever make, simply because what follows 'I am' can make or break, can change the course of your life for good or bad, for the better or worse, for the best or worst, hence the reason why one needs to watch how they two words are used

Essentially God in Exodus 3:14 above is the same person (i.e. God) in both John 1:1 and John 18:6.

God didnt answer Moses' question about what God's personal is, but rather God's response was, tell the Isrealites that 'I AM I AM' sent you to them.
'I AM, I AM' carries a connotation of 'I AM ....' fill in the blanks as much as you are able to and/or capable of.

Imo state alone is the 2nd largest economy after Lagos state

Imo state now has the largest Natural Gas reserves in West Africa

All the South East states are among the states with the Highest HDI aside Ebonyi state

Oyo state doesn't not even come close to Imo state when it comes to education..

You guys should rest
Oyo state is just big (Landmass) for nothing

Aside Lagos
Enugu state has better urban road network than any other south west state

What is killing Nigeria is the needless tribal supremacy
Thats why you guys voted 2 dullards into power...

MEEVEET:
This are all private driven project

When SEREDEC was just drawing the Igbo gas master plan where was tinubu?

Now he wants to claim a project designed by others?

The first phase is to produce enough gas that would give south East 5000mw plus gas piped for industrial use to

1) Aba industrial city
2) IMO Industrial cluster
3) nnewi and Onitsha
4 emene industrial cluster to 9th mile industrial cluster

This was phase one

So why is Tinubu APC acting like this is a new project?

See what I was saying, @OP! Even this one is here is telling you that you should be grateful to have a cheating husband who cares nothing for you because your friends equally have the same. grin

Calvary247 I still stand by what I said earlier, most of your friends are also in the same boat.

So long as there is no domestic violence involved just ignore advise from Kobojunkie and her fellow feminists. grin

If you leave your husband because of this just know that your pússy will become free-for-all except if you have plenty of money to attract a lazy gold digger who will agree to marry you. grin

They are not going anywhere. New Caledonia is not even a country. It’s an overseas territory that is administered by France. It’s basically their possessions

A matter of time. Whether its an overseas territory or a colony, france will have to renegotiate terms eventually. Who'd have thought france would be kicked out in its former west african colonies.

Honestly this Nigerian mentality, as you said is sickening to me...
Don't waste your time, they are not civilised and they are proud of not being civilised. You can't bring them up to your level, they can only drag you down.
This is why most successful nigerians I know in europe avoid other nigerians. Let us face it, nobody (of worth) wants to converse with someone who has the habbits of an animal. The weird thing is that many nigerians just can't see this, they are proud of acting like savages. Just imagine.
Don't fall into their traps, don't go into their unending arguments, just learn to ignore them when they act like savages. If you rumble with a pig, you ultimately become as dirty as the pig.
