What's the context here? Jesus is clearly making a statement that he is THE I AM. If you don't believe THE I AM is God then tell try telling this guy who liked your post.
"The I am" is improper english

I am me, you are you.

No... the Incarnation. You understand the difference, I hope.
Yes I know the difference, that was a typo.

However all you Christians don't know what reincarnation is. When pressed to describe it, you describe Transmigration (which was actually an early Christian doctrine), but you definitely do not describe reincarnation which is a different concept.

It stands rather ridiculous if one wants to criticize the concept of reincarnation (while describing Transmigration, not reincarnation), yet finding the idea of a sole individual incarnation of God to be an incontestable fact. Begs the question.

I recommend you study the interlinear.

He is not descended from Adam--
The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.​

I wonder if its even possible to believe/convict that Jesus is God without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?

Well I'd question you how Jesus can be God if there isn't reincarnation. Think over this point.

Also, I'd question your reading skills if you haven't noticed the various references in the New Testament to Jesus and John the Baptist being 'returns' of previous prophets (such as Elijah). It begs the question, at the least.

Fortunately virtual stones don’t hurt as much!
Reminds me of a part of the Great Gatsby.

Turning me around by one arm he moved a broad flat hand along the front vista, including in its sweep a sunken Italian garden, a half acre of deep pungent roses and a snubnosed motor boat that bumped the tide off shore. ‘It belonged to Demaine the oil man.’ He turned me around again, politely and abruptly. ‘We’ll go inside.’ We walked through a high hallway into a bright rosycolored space, fragilely bound into the house by French windows at either end. The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding cake of the ceiling—and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.

I wasn't actually responding to you. It's something you will not understand without the Holy Spirit.

You don't have the Holy Spirit. Try me?

How can God incarnate and how can God only incarnate once? explain that to me with "the holy spirit"?

Agreed. Christ is the Firstborn Son of the Almighty God. And Christ will live forever, just as all of His Brethren will.

Romans 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among MANY brethren.

When Christians make such disregarding statements as "you're not born again so you won't understand" or "you don't have the holy spirit so you won't understand" it is a claim to secret occult knowledge that they think only they posses. It however in all actuality is a discounting of the opportunity to show that you understand what you believe. To everyone else, all they see is someone that doesn't know themselves.
Every Christian claims to be "born again" and "have the holy spirit" but few are actually certain or in understanding about the nature of what they believe and very few know how to explain what they believe. Very few can justify the basis of what they believe in any way other than begging us to accept cowardliness as noble.

Christianity isn't that hard to understand, in fact it is also the most familiar religion to any westerner. It remains that Christianity is rather difficult to explain and make sense, while not sounding like someone smoking crack, or the alternative of going overboard with empty sobby emotional rhetoric.

If I were to remind you of “Meditation in an Toolshed”, there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.

A documented, unexpected healing that only made sense from the inside... Real, physical, not just emotional....

Apply that argument to any other religion.

Hinduism is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.
Buddhism is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.
Judaism is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.
Islam is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.
Zoroastrianism is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.
Shinto is true but you just can't understand it because there are some things you can see by examining the light from the side, and some you can only see when you are within that light. There is nothing arrogant in that, it’s just how it is.


However you are not fair game, you do not allow your stingy elitism to count in the arguments of other's religions, so it certainly will never work if you try to claim it for yourself.

Where does the Bible contradict itself @SquaredCircle? Examples?

What most people believe to be contradictions are either their own misunderstandings or misinterpretations. @phipps was actually arguing against his own misunderstanding of Hebrews 9:27 because the Bible does NOT contradict itself IF it's properly understood.
The two oldest bibles on earth contain no resurrection as well as over 60 thousand omitted words , added words , corrections etc...

These examples are from the KJV ! I know your going to say that dates, times , names dont matter in a INFALLIBLE book like the bible , because god directed its creation ! Lol lol lol lol ...... Do you believe yourself ? That is probably a better place for you to start than with trying to believe in a book written by in most cases unknown authors !

Do you think the gospels were written by the Apostles themselves?

True, the manuscript traditions (which obviously only date back as early as the third century, minus some single verse fragments) are utterly SHOCKING to learn about.
The deeper you get which that, the more shocking it gets.
Yet Christians take much later recensions and revisions (around the 8th century) as their authoritative sources for translation, etc.

The first incarnation is physically, the second is spiritually. You gotta cross over first before you can see the light. Either you believe this now or later, when it's too late, that the mystery of God is no more. :)
