1 | John8:24 and John8:57-58 | Ex 3:14 | DBR | 127143 | ||
Here is what the Septugint says at Ex 3:14, that is said to be from where Jesus quoted from: English translation of the LXX And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you. Notice the emphisis is on "The Being" not "I am" or God called himself "THE BEING." Thank you for your interest and all who have helped me with my questions. DBR |

Greetings DBR! There are a couple of problems with the view that you are advocating. First of all, there is no indication that Jesus is quoting anything in John 8:58, let alone the LXX. Secondly, the LXX is not inspired. It is simply a translation. While it's readings may be helpful in some studies of Hebrew and how it various words were understood at the time of its translation, it is not authoritative in any sense. Finally, the LXX itself does use the phrase 'eyw eimi' prior to 'ho wn'. The translation would be: "I am He who is", not 'I am the being'. But, regardless, the LXX does nothing to the clear meaning of John 8:58. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I agree but then the same can be said about all Bible translations today as they all are copies of copies etc. of the original inspired text that was first penned but no longer exists now. | ||||||
