quote:
speaking god's name aloud, unless for teaching purposes his blasphemy. writting god's name, unless for teaching purposes, or in copying the torah, is blasphemy. do you think christ did either of these things?
if he actually said "i am" which is doubtful at best, he said it in aramaic. god's "name" is hebrew for "that which exists," which often gets told as "i am." hebrew and aramaic are different languages. "i am" is used a number of times in the christian bible. how many imply god's name?
jesus was answering a question. he said, at the very most, that he was the son of god.
Jesus used the "I AM" statements quite often in John, and that was why the Jews wanted to stone him for Blasphemy. YHWH actually means 'The one who is'. Jesus was very intentional when he linked himself to Yahweh. Is that why you choose to disregard John because it does not suit your viewpoint?
Also your point about Adam and others being 'sons of god'. In one context you are right, but who will be at the right hand of the Mighty one?
Also in Isiah, just who was Isiah refering to then in in chapter 53?
Psalm 110,Matthew 22: 43-46 the bible is blatantly clear:
41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42"What do you think about the Christ[4] ? Whose son is he?"
"The son of David," they replied.
43He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says,
44" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet." '[5] 45If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" 46No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
You do seem to have a lot of knowledge about the bible, why the scepticism over it?
