N S B Notes: I AM The Son of God
JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY, “I AM GOD.”
JESUS SAID, “I AM THE SON OF GOD.”
(John 10:36) (Matthew 27:43)
There is no place in the Holy Scriptures where it specifically says “I AM” is God’s name. You can search for hours on end and never find it.
True believers know that “I AM” is not God’s name. However, Trinitarian translators call attention to verses, words and phrases that have been translated using words that highlight the possibility of a three-in-one God. Read on and you will see how they have propagated this deception.
Most statements in the Bible specify that God is one single spirit-being who demands exclusive devotion and does not share his glory with anyone. (Deuteronomy 4:24) It is plainly stated that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, not God.
The churches of Christendom have created a communication travesty. Concerning their understanding of the true nature of God they are in a state of complete confusion. Understanding the true meaning of words and conveying that information to others requires communication. This communication failure the churches are experiencing is caused by man and it is influenced by Satan the Devil. It comes as no supprise that this should happen for Satan is the God of this world. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Is it any wonder that even the Roman Catholic Church, the founder of the Trinitarian Doctrine at the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. admits in its Catholic Encylopedia that the Trinity is a mystery and it cannot be understood.
Bible translators have been deliberately selecting words that convey the idea that a three-in-one Trinity could possibly exist. They are cleaver. Oh yes, they are very cleaver! They carefully select words that offer a reasonably accurate conveyance of the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek words. And when they are done with their deception they point an accusatory finger at Non-Trinitarians and claim that they are the ones who have manipulated the truth.
“I AM”…THE ULTIMATE DECEPTION: Take a closer look at John 8:58. Most Bible translations use the deliberate Trinitarian phrase, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” This is Jesus Christ the Son of God speaking. They want you to think that the phrase “I AM” means he is God. But does it? Or does it simply mean “I exist” or “I existed.” The context of John 8:58 shows that Christ is talking about his pre-existence. Remember that the Jews said, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" He is expressing how long he has existed rather than who he is.
The word they translated “am” is from the Greek “eimi.” It has several meanings including: am, exist, and was. So there you have it, “I am” could be considered accurate but does it prove that Jesus is God and part of a Trinity? No! The context requires that the translator emphasize how long Jesus existed.
“I AM”…A CONSPIRACY IN THE MAKING: Exodus 3:14: This is where the devious conspiracy begins! The Trinitarian translators mislead the unsuspecting Bible student at the very begininng of the the Holy Scriptures. The Hebrew word that they translate “I AM WHO I AM” is “hayah.” It can be translated “am”, “have been”, “will become”, “exist”, remain”, “will be”. A far more proper translation of this word is “I WAS and I AM, and I WILL BE.” It is proof that God has an eternal existence and is responsible for all that was and is and will become. Do you see the devious conspiracy? The Trinitarian is partly right. His translation is a half-truth and therefore it could be considered by most Bible authorities as accurate.
DID JESUS CHRIST SAY HE WAS THE “I AM”? The following is a list of some of the verses where Jesus identifies himself by using the phrase “I am.” There are 124 verses in the four Gospels where the term “I am” is used. Many of these are statements by Jesus Christ. Pay attention to the fact that there is no occasion where Jesus Christ uses the phrase “I am” as His personal (proper) name. The following is a sample of these verses:
Matthew 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me. I am meek (mild) and humble in heart. You will have a restful life.
Matthew 16:15 “Who do you say that I am?”
Matthew 18:20 “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
Matthew 20:22 Jesus told her: “You have no idea what you are requesting. Are you able to take of the cup I am about to take? “
Matthew 24:5 “Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Matthew 27:43 He trusts in God. Let him save him now if he wants him. After all he said: “I am the Son of God.”
John 6:35 Jesus replied: “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me shall not hunger. He who puts active faith in me shall never thirst.
John 6:51 “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven.
John 9:5 “When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 10:7 Jesus explained: “I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me.
Joh 10:36 “do you say to the one whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, you blaspheme? And this because I said, I am the Son of God? (John 1:34; 5:18; Lu 1:35)
John 11:25 Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who puts active faith in me will live, even if he dies.
John 14:6 Jesus proclaimed: “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through me.
JESUS CHRIST DID NOT SAY, “I AM GOD.”
JESUS SAID, “I AM THE SON OF GOD.”
(John 10:36) (Matthew 27:43)
There is no place in the Holy Scriptures where it specifically says “I AM” is God’s name. You can search for hours on end and never find it.
