Bible Note: Greetings Rextar, I know what Jesus said. I am fully away of the Scriptures, but I don't think that you understand what He is saying or else you would not have used this Scripture. The first rule in interpreting any Scripture is that you cannot take one Scripture and make a doctrine out of it. Secondly, no Scripture contradicts itself. The author of this book, St. John(John the Beloved), stated previously that God's plan(Word[logos]) was with Him during Creation and then later it was made into flesh which took on the name of Jesus. This was God's initial plan since Creation. Therefore, the plan for God manifesting Himself in the flesh to die for the sins of the world came before God had a plan for Abraham. Abraham was a vital part of the initial plan but did not come util the initial plan was at play. Hence, Jesus said before Abraham was I am! |
