John 8:58 King James Version (KJV)
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
What would you expect the immortal spirit-Being Christ, Who is going to live forever--just as all of the sons of God will--to say? That before Abraham, He "was"?
In your twisted mind was Paul likewise claiming to be God when he made a similar statement?
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God
I am what I am: and His grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Compare both of these, which were originally in Greek and have absolutely nothing to do with Theos or Kyrios, which were the Greek designations for God, with this verse, which was originally in Hebrew:-
Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
"I AM" hath sent me unto you.
Christ's statement in John 8:58 KJV above is merely His Confirmation of His
PREVIOUS INCARNATION in the body of Melchizedek.
Genesis 14:18-20
14:18 And
Melchizedek king of Salem (Peace) brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the Most High God.
14:19 And he blessed him, and said,
Blessed [be] Abram by the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20 And blessed be
the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
King of kings' Bible - John 8:47-49 (KJV John 8:56-58)
8:47
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
8:48 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet FIFTY years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
8:49 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am (
ch. 17:5).
John 17:3-5
17:3
And THIS is Life Eternal, that they might KNOW Thee the ONLY True God, AND Christ the Saviour, whom Thou hast sent.
17:4 I have glorified Thee on the Earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.
17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Thou me with Thine Own self with the glory which I had with Thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.
Hebrews 6:20, 7:1-3
6:20 Where the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made The High Priest for ever
AFTER the order of Melchizedek.
7:1 For this Melchizedek, King of Salem (Peace), priest of The Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all;
first being by interpretation King of Righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
7:3
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;
BUT MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD; ABIDETH A PRIEST CONTINUALLY.
The Son of God is also THE I AM, thus He is God. Can you make the connection yet? The Father AND The Son is THE I AM.
Do you understand what a Father is? A Father is the
HEAD of the family.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and
the head of Christ [is] God.
Do you understand what a Son is? A son is the
OFFSPRING/CREATION of His Father.
Colossians 1:12-15
1:12
Giving thanks unto the Father, Which hath made us meet to be sharers of the inheritance of the holy people in Light:
1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into The Kingdom of
His dear Son:
1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:
1:15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Do you know what any of these terms mean? An image is a
LIKENESS (
NOT the original). Invisible means something that cannot be seen. Firstborn means the first to be born into a family, i.e. brought into existence. And a creature is a
CREATION. That's why Christ made it crystal clear that Father is HIS God, i.e. His Father is
GREATER than He (Christ) is.
John 14:28
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.
Do you understand what
THE MOST HIGH means? It means there are
NONE higher. That's why Christ let everyone know that Father is His God too.
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to]
MY God, and your God.
Are you starting to see how ridiculous, illogical and
UNSCRIPTURAL your satanic argument really is?
We can concluded the Holy Ghost is also THE I AM = Father, Son, Holy Ghost
From a verse that has been OBVIOUSLY tampered with, to include a section that wasn't
added to it until the 15th century? You must be joking!

1 John 5:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And the original passage in full and in context,
before the Roman Catholic priests added to it:
1 John 5:6-8
5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by
water and
blood. And it is
the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is Truth.
5:7 For there are three that bear record,
5:8
The Spirit, and the
water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one.
There was no mention in the original passage of Father, The Word and the Holy Ghost, so no, your non-sequitur logical fallacy is baseless.
Numbers 23:19 God [is] not a man, that He should lie.
This totally flew over your head. It's saying God does not lie, only men lies. Jesus DID NOT lie that mean HE IS GOD with an incarnation body of a man. Don't let his physical man body fool you to believe he is not God.
Of course men (humans) lie, just as you are doing right now by omitting the part of the verse that proves your ridiculous attempt to butcher it doesn't hold up under the slightest bit of scrutiny.
Numbers 23:19
GOD [IS] NOT A MAN, that He should lie;
NEITHER THE SON OF MAN, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do [it]? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
The reason that God can make good on whatever He says is because He is
ALL-POWERFUL ALL OF THE TIME (i.e. Omnipotent). That means that there is
NO time that He isn't all-powerful, just as there is no time when He is not
OMNIPRESENT, i.e. present
EVERYWHERE at the same time. You can't be inside of a human body
AND be everywhere else at the same time.
Father (God) is also
OMNISCIENT, i.e.
ALL-KNOWING at all times, which automatically precludes Jesus from being God, as, by His own admission, Jesus was
NOT omnisicent. Only Father -- Who
IS God -- is Omniscient.
Matthew 24:36
But of That Day and Hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father ONLY.
Please take the time to read and
THINK about the
TRUTH that's been just been shared above, that our heavenly Father
IS God. And thank Father for sending us His Son,
MANY TIMES, to show us
The Way home.
