You were not there. People don't say such things in isolation. There were a lifetime of words and events that preceded that statement. People who experienced all that, immediately KNEW what he meant.

Nope. Lord Jesus was there at the beginning of infinity, before there was time. He is, and has always been, part of God, NOT created.
You were apparently not there too.
But use common sense na.
How could Jesus jumped from explaining his existence to claiming that he is the "I am"?

He was created cos God Himself said Jesus is His only begotten son.
He has the likeness and in the image of the Father, it shows that the Father existed first before him (Jehovah GOD has no beginning though).
Jesus had a beginning.

The Bible itself teaches monolatrism;
We acknowledge the existence of many gods but Jehovah the one true God is Whom we worship.

Nope. See below

He didn't use the grammatically correct I WAS for a reason, and everybody there understood that. I wasn't there so I have to rely on what they and theologians down the centuries have known he meant.

He was begotten, NOT created. Meaning He was always part of God. "A part of God sent to earth" if you will

The message Jesus was conveying was that he has already been existing before their patriarch Abraham.
Compare "before Abraham was born I was ( existing)" and "before Abraham was born I am (existing)".

Biased people like Trinitarians that are looking for verses to support their uninspired doctrine could make it seem as if Jesus was claiming to be the Almighty GOD Jehovah.

He was begotten, NOT created. Meaning He was always part of God. "A part of God sent to earth" if you will

At least we both agree that he's not from eternity to eternity like his Father.
How is he part of God, like God can't function alone without Jesus attached to Him?
Like when Jesus was on earth, GOD wasn't complete as God huh?

No, he was existing no matter how far back you go. He was existing before there was time. That's what begining of eternity means.

Everybody around understood perfectly well that's exactly what He was saying: the great I AM. Which they regarded so sacred they didn't even pronounce it. But not only did He pronounce it, He pronounced it in reference to Himself: "Bfore Abraham was born, Yaweh"

No, you don't use God's name that they considered too sacred to say. You say: :"Before Abraham I WAS" and NOT "Before Abraham, Yaweh"!

No he is part of God sent to Earrth. If Mohammed were part of God - it'd mean he had the fullness of God and had always been with God and would go back to God after his mission

Stop comparing Jesus with Mohammed. Mohammed was like any other human being.
Jesus had a preexistence before coming to the world. He's not part of God and he will always be distinct from Yahweh.

No where in the Bible says Jesus is part of God.
God is a whole being that can function in His own.

We don't believe in Jesus as part of God or as God himself before we get saved.
He's the Messiah sent by GOD.

When he was in hell for three days, God was still God.

At the end Jesus will be subjected to God the Father.

What does fullness of God mean?

Lol see confused and a-dont-want-to-learn fellow.

In the New testament written in Greek, "God" (capitalized) and "god" have different word abi?

Ògbéni we are all not gods o. No de hype yourself.

So you don't know it was people like me and that you brought capitalization into the Bible?

World English Bible
Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Jehovah is the one true god
Did not adding capitalization to God change the meaning of the word GOD?

Okay what's the difference between god, God and GOD?

"Bfore Abraham was born, Yaweh"

Can you explain what this your incomplete sentence means?

No, he was existing no matter how far back you go. He was existing before there was time. That's what begining of eternity means.

So your now the great scientists that found time abi.

In God's eyes 1000 years is like 1 day to Him.
God has been from eternity to eternity. Our limited brain can't even grasp that. If God didn't create human beings then no humans will be here today.
It's a great privilege that we were created with lots of privileges.

Time started with God, it can't even be measured.
Don't come here and tell me stories.

Jesus was created in god's exact image and characteristics.
There was a time Jesus was not and god made him to be. He had a beginning!

Also Khadija, Muhammed's first wife, was never a Christian. See below

So Muhammad and his wife though may not be Catholics butthey knew Catholicism before his so called revelation.
Simple as ABC, he learned forceful convertion of adherents from Catholics.
Therefore don't say he started it because it's established by the Roman Catholics and he copied forceful convertion from them! smiley

Ok, let's settle this ONCE AND FOR ALL.
If after this you still pretend not to see, then this conversation is a waste of time. I will number them, but take everything together:

1) Matthew 1:23 :
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”
(which means “God with us”)

2) John 10:33-34
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
(This is a claim you say he never made. You know better than people who were there!)

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law
"I have said you are “gods”’
(So you see, I'm not hyping myself. It's in both new and old testaments)

3) "I AM", the way Christ said it, translates Yaweh, regarded so sacred that Jews didn't utter it. See below

4) You asked that I explain the incomplete statement. The statement is not incomplete. Yaweh means I AM. so sacred Jews didn't utter it

5) Fullness of God: example: a piece of bread has fullness of bread

Now stop making baseless arguments and find something to do with your life

My brother you strike me as someone who doesn't read much and who doesn't consider things in depth.
You accept whatever you are taught without questioning.
You were told Khadija was Catholic. You were told Muhammed learnt conversion from Catholics and that he never had any revelation. Why not go and READ how these things transpired so you’ll realise how misguided you are!

It's not about been told but thorough meditation on what we read because it might be true or false.
The people you are quoting weren't there so they can't truly know what happened back then. We all know that Muhammad referred to all the prophets and characters in the Bible which indicates that he already knew about the stories in the Bible, if not from the Catholics then through whom?
Catholicism existed before Muhammad started his religion and according to the Bible book of Revelation God is no longer revealing anything to anyone again. NO ADDITION NO SUBTRACTION! Revelations 22:18-19

So even though we're not there when all these things happened we can get some facts from the events that follows.
Muhammad established another religion, claimed that an angel (Gabriel) revealed it to him, organized people to believe in one God, told his followers so many things related to what's written in the Bible but emphasized on the point that Jesus is just one of the prophets and that his own revelation (Qur'an) is the greatest and final message to mankind.
My friend, even a fool can sense that this Arab man fabricated all these things after learning from somewhere: CATHOLICS! wink

See what I said about not reading much and not considering things in depth. Someone put Catholics in your head and the thought that Muhammad never had any revelation, and you just keep on repeating it.
It is a matter of HISTORICAL RECORD, not as in the case of Lord Jesus where some ignorant people keep saying he has no historical existence.
I'll conclude with you same way I concluded with my other friend: ONCE AND FOR ALL:

1) Arabs and Jews have the same ancestor: Ibrahim

2) Mecca is not far from Israel. Both are in the Middle East

3) Muhammad could nether read nor write, which was why he could only recite the Koran.

4) An illiterate person like Muhammad couldn't have independently come up with the language and practices in the Koran.

5) Muhammad was wealthy with a comfortable life. He had no reason to found a religion

6) His wife Khadija narrated his terrified state after the revelation, and how he couldn't talk about it to outsiders for 3 years.

7) Muhammad was offered rulership of Mecca if he would abandon the religion. He was doing it neither for money nor power

cool Because of the religion, he went from being comfortable to being an uncomfortable refugee.
Why would he give up everything for fake Islam he made up?

9) Hitory is replete with people forced to worship. You were given two biblical examples, yet u keep repeating it started with "CATHOLICS"!

10) Some of the physical practices if Islam are actually scientifically beneficial to a human being who practices them. How would illiterate Muhammad know this?

11) God told Musa (Moses) to remove his shoes because he was in a holy place. I wonder why Christians and Jews don't remove their shoes when they go into a place of prayer.

Conclusion: Muhammad did receive a revelation. We are not sure exactly from whom.

As I told my other friend, now stop making baseless arguments and find something to do with your life!

1) Matthew 1:23 :
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”
(which means “God with us”)
How does this prove that God is more than one person?

2) John 10:33-34
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
(This is a claim you say he never made. You know better than people who were there!)

Jesus made the claim that Jehovah is his direct Father. He never claimed to be the God of the Jews, Yahweh.
The Jews didn't understand that Jesus had a preexistence and he's divine and thought that he was mere man like them.
So Jesus claiming to be son of GOD (not God the Father Himself) is something they couldn't take in. They reason that if he's God's son, definitely he is a God himself.


John 10:34-36
[34]Jesus replied, “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’

[35]And you know that the Scriptures cannot be altered. So if those people who received God’s message were called ‘gods,’
[36]why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God’? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world.

(So you see, I'm not hyping myself. It's in both new and old testaments)
I the KJV Bible English is twisting your big head with small brain pls change to other version with simpler English.

So if those people who received God’s message were called ‘gods,’
God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’
Your not a God, stop deceiving yourself.
I have all these figured out a couple years ago.

Your still baby in god's word, you'll still learn.


3) "I AM", the way Christ said it, translates Yaweh, regarded so sacred that Jews didn't utter it. See below
Yeah that's right.
The godly "I AM" would not doubt have the same Hebrew word with general "I am" (I'm) used in any Hebrew sentence.
Just like your proved yesterday. When Jesus said "I am the light of the world", Yahweh featured again. But a sane and smart person will know that Jesus was not claiming the god's name "I AM" in the above sentence but rather telling his listener that he's the light of the word.

Also Jesus couldn't be explaining something about his existence to his listeners and just jumped to say Yahweh. It doesn't make any sense it's incoherent.
I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I AM (Yahweh)

If he was claiming God's name he would just say "I am the I AM".
Use your head this thing no hard na.

4) You asked that I explain the incomplete statement. The statement is not incomplete. Yaweh means I AM. so sacred Jews didn't utter it
Pls learn from the above

5) Fullness of God: example: a piece of bread has fullness of bread

Which verses in the Bible says Jesus had the fullness of GOD?

Now stop making baseless arguments and find something to do with your life

Sorry I can feel your frustration. I have been backing my point with scriptures unlike that depends on people's opinions on Google.
Thanks for the advice though

I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I AM (Yahweh)

If he was claiming God's name he would just say "I am the I AM".
Use your head this thing no hard na.


Pls learn from the above



Which verses in the Bible says Jesus had the fullness of GOD?



Sorry I can feel your frustration. I have been backing my point with scriptures unlike that depends on people's opinions on Google.
Thanks for the advice though

So all the scriptural quotations I gave u are not scriptures. See another one below. The Bible does say I am god!
Stop talking like you know more than people who were there. You are only reading the few WORDS that made it into the Bible. You don't know the body language and nuances. You don't know any of the countless other words that never made it into the Bible. They do! They were there!

My Brother you can't have it both ways. There are only
3 choices. PICK ONE:
A) Christ was NOT God
B) Christ is God but a separate God - you have more than one God, contrary to biblical command
C) Christ is part of that one God

Nobody forced you in here to start arguing Sir!


Muhammad was a SERVANT (ERRAND BOY) of Kadyjat, he was 25 when Kadyjat (40) chose to make him her man.
I know you don't believe the Bible from the beginning since you said God's word contradicts itself. After the Bible book of Revelation God never revealed anything to any human again so muhammad fabricated all what is called Qu'ran.

Next time you want to argue don't do so blindly because you've failed woefully once you don't believe in God's word! smiley

See what I said about not considering things in depth?
WHY would God musle Himself? Where in Revelation does it say there'd never be any more revelations??

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!
Time to bear a thorough witness! smiley

Right from the beginning mankind has always spend fortune on weapons and maintenance of the army only to intimidate and dominate one another! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

But the true God promised us that during the last days He will send His Holy Spirit and many people will come from all the nations of the earth, they will use God's word to settle all their disparities, they will agree to divert all their resources into production of food and information materials, they will stop building destructive weapons and vow never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Well the one and only true religion on this planet is achieving this today and millions from all over the earth have become peace loving worshipers globally vowing never to kill again but to preach and teach about PEACE!

Below is one of my brothers who formerly should be a killer somewhere thinking of how to destroy lives but today he is one of us, we are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley
