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. | ||||||
