Subject: I am Who I am in New Testament |
Bible Note: Hey EdB, That's why I said the MEANING to the Tetragrammaton! The MEANING to the Tetragrammaton is said to be "I am who I am" which I think is a poor translation. I have had a problem with people calling God "I AM" as well. Look at my other posts for an explanation. You're right, the Tetragrammaton isn't found until verse 15 and 16 translated LORD (all caps) in our Bibles. I would have to respectfully disagree with you that God's name is 'The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob' as I believe this to be a Title. I think the Tetragrammaton (YHWH - Yahweh) translated LORD in our Old Testaments over 6,000 times is actually the name of God. Isaiah 42:8 makes this pretty clear. I hope this helps! God Bless, Andy |
