“By nearly all accounts, at the end of the first century C.E., strict monotheism had long been one of the pillars of Judaism.” (James D.G. Dunn, The Partings of the Ways Between Christianity and Judaism and Their Significance for the Character of Christianity) Strict monotheism is Jewish...

“Jesus was a first-century Jewish monotheist.” (N.T. Wright, Jesus and the Victory of God)

I’m a Jewish monotheist.

I commented on this in another thread. Barclay and Gilbert give us insight on the incident.

Believing that, I believe him.

So who were these Jews Jesus was speaking with? They were ex-disciples. Former followers who had turned against him. This wasn’t a friendly meeting gone bad. This was a contentious meeting from the start. I spoke briefly about what Jesus said to them. I’ll speak briefly now about what they said...

Neither ignored nor disregarded by me.

I hope members of this site are intelligent enough to know that just because a person agrees with someone about one thing doesn’t mean that a person agrees with another person about everything. I quote Roman Catholics, and agree with Roman Catholics on some things. I’m not a Roman Catholic. I...

Jesus is elohim/theos, fred. See my posts. I use the same scripture you do. The man Jesus Christ. That’s right.

”Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross You bring love to those who hate You bring love to those who hate”

No. And we see from Jesus’ statements that he doesn’t say “I am that I am”. In verse 24 the context is “I am the Son of Man.“ The entire conversation (John 8:31-59) must be considered. It was heated. He told them Abraham was not their father, God is not their Father, and their father is the...

Why do you think some translators chose to capitalize the phrase (“ego eimi”) in English and some translators chose not to capitalize the phrase?

You capitalized the phrase. Strong’s, which you provided, didn’t. “I am [he]“ is correct.

Scripture cannot be broken. Christ is “God” (Heb. elohim; Gk. theos); the Father and the Son are one.

I say Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

”All“ does not include God. Scripture testifies that God is above Christ. Who is God then? Yahweh. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

”He” is provided by the translators. Christ doesn’t refer to himself with the Ineffable name. You’ve been influenced by the bias of the translators who capitalize the phrase; ego eimi = “I am,“ not “I AM”. See the difference? Look at all of the “I am” statements made by Jesus in John.

There is no God besides the God of Jesus, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

“I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.” (NRSV) ”That’s why I told you that you will die here as a result of your sins. Unless you believe I am who I have said I am, your sins will lead to your death.” (VOICE) “That is why I...

Jesus is who he says he is. I believe what he says. He shares his glory.
