Bible Question:
John8:21-30 Having trouble with John8:24 "If you do not believe that I am" how does this relate to the Old Testament. The revelation of the Lord God to man? Also in John8:57-58You are not yet fifty old adn you have seen Abraham (58)Most assuredly I Say to you before Abraham was I.I believe Jesus was born beore Abraham. |
Bible Answer: Jesus was NOT BORN before Abraham, He has existed from eternity! The statement Jesus made when He said He was the great I AM (John 8:24,28,58), means He is the eternal, self existent One, He has no beginning, He has forever existed as God from eternity past and will exist as God forever and ever! I have always thought that the “he” the translators added to John 8:24,28 should not be there and takes a little bit of the “teeth” out of what Jesus was really declaring to the Pharisees. They knew exactly what He was saying, as they wanted to stone Him to death for it! Jesus declaration that He was the great I AM was the same thing Moses heard from God at the burning bush (Exo 3:14). Some believe, as I, that Moses encounter with God at the burning bush was a OT visit from Jesus; God with us and in the flesh (John 1:18). “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1) retxar |
