Discuss Psalms 1 Page 3

1st Timothy Ch 3 V 16 and plenty of others indicate that God manifested Himself in Christ , this to me is not talking about Jesus physical form but God's Holy Spirit in Christ . If u have seen me u have seen the Father , the Jews didn't recognise that God was in Christ , if they couldn't recognise that God was in Christ then they weren't going to show Jesus in his body of flesh any kindness . They were to busy criticizing the human in front of them to recognise the Spirit in him . They couldn't c the Truth , they were walking by sight not in faith , looking at the physical and completely ignoring the Spirit of Truth . God was manifesting Himself in Christ physical body but the Jews couldn't c beyond the physical body of Christ . This ties in with what that elderly brother told me about the meaning of I Am . He had a good knowledge of Hebrew , and of the Truth . May he rest in peace .

Thank you Gigi, it makes perfect sense.

But I like Grae's interpetation a lot, as well, " I will manifest myself in whom I will manifest myself or , I will b who I will b or , I will reveal myself in whom I will reveal myself "

Dear Adam I searched that in the Septuagint Text (not the Masoretic), where instead of YAHWEH (I AM WHO I AM) the ancient translators translated this name from Hebrew to Greek as "THE EXISTING" [God]. (So GiGi is right in her post)

The Septuagint Text was a translation of the OT done during the 3rd centuary BC for the Jews that inhabited the Greek influenced world at that time, and spoke the Greek language not Hebrew. This translation was done during a time that Jews still knew exactly what YAHWEH meant.

So when Jesus said to Jews "before Abraham I am", He most possibly meant "before Abraham I exist". Not existed but exist, before-now-and for ever.

Hello Francesco,

I will speak to your first question of what does I AM THAT I AM mean?

I have read that this name means "The eternal self-existing one" which means that God is the source of His own existence and His existence is eternal, without beginning nor ending.

I believe it means : I will manifest myself in whom I will manifest myself or , I will b who I will b or , I will reveal myself in whom I will reveal myself . An elderly brother taught me that many years ago . It of course points forward in time to Jesus who is Emanuel which means God with us . God is a spirit but Jesus says if u have seen me u have seen my Father , I don't believe that Jesus is referring to his physical body but is referring to God's Spirit which Jesus received without measure and which without , he would not have been able to do the works that he did or say the things that he did with such authority and power . God's power in him .

Hi Francesco,

You asked some interesting questions and made some interesting suppositions.

I haven't researched this thoroughly but my current understanding of God saying "I AM" is a proclamation of who He is, including His greatness, glory, power, divinity. The English language is probably insufficient to properly convey just how awesome He is. Jesus also said "I am" in the New Testament, and people ironically accused Him of blasphemy.

I'm not quite following your next statements about you thinking you're a god? Do you believe this is related to the "I am" statements? Do you believe 1 Corinthians 8:6 where it says there is only one God and Lord? If there's only one, then I would think that would automatically invalidate anyone claiming there are more gods and make that an untrue statement, would it not?

Do you consider yourself a follower of Christ? There's a great link on becoming a Christian at the bottom of the page with many helpful verses.

Nothing in the Bible contradicts itself. People find "apparent" inconsistencies and are often quick to make these claims, but when someone actually researches deeper one usually realizes the truth and that it's all consistent. If you have a specific example of how you drew your conclusion that could help with a dialog.

Sadly, some who post here occasionally have unpure motives when posting sometimes and may only be trolling or have other objectives, but I trust that you are genuinely asking with an open mind, so this is my genuine response in attempt to help you. God bless.

Hello,

What's the real meaning when GOD said to Moses I Am That I Am, And I am have sent to you?

Does this mean that trough the I Am we are all Gods and creators, or that GOD is a being and so HE/SHE impregnate everything and so everything is HIM/HER?

Are we so co creator of the universe? Do Christians really need the Old Testament, even though in many parts it contradicts the words O Jesus Christ?

Thank you.

Francesco Rossi

GOD's laws given to Moses start in Exodus 20, continue through Exodus 23, also Deuteronomy 6, Deuteronomy 12, through 29,

Notice the curse if they didn't obey.

Semom on sins

Hello Shadrach. We can't send links via this Comment room, but I could suggest you go into Biblehub dot com & you will find a large number of Bible versions given. If you click on AMP, you will find it. Also, you might know that the Amplified Version can be useful for easier reading, but it remains as a translation based on a person's understanding of the Bible and not always faithful to the original texts. So please take care when reading from it.

Please would you mind helping me to get a link for amplified bible. Thank you and may God bless you.

I really love my own version of this Bible.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11, thru chapter 15

The gifts are given as the Holy Spirit wills it. But we are told elsewhere to desire the best gifts.

Read in the NT Bible, about the gifts.

Word search in this website search box: discern

I noticed that on YouTube Charles Stanley has sermons of

Spiritual Discernment

Walking in the Holy Spirit

(I highly recommend his teachings)

That was the first gift the Holy Spirit gave me.

He teaches you to discern if you are dealing with a human, evil spirit, or the Holy Spirit or angels

If we submit ourselves, the Holy Spirit will guide you in all things as you fill yourself up on Bible scriptures. Many times it is through scripture when He chooses to speak to your born again spirit. We view things through a glass darkly. 1 Corinthians 13:12

With the Holy Spirits gifts, we can "see the mirror" better.

He's our Teacher, Helper, Comforter and much more. It is our hunger and thirst for the truths in Gods Word that causes the gifts to operate. In my experience, He very much enjoys praise and worship of Jesus. Sometimes I sit in my "closet" under the clothes_just listening intently, or I sing. I was singing I WALK THE LINE by Johnny Cash and the Holy Spirit sang too! I never knew it was a spiritual song. He said, you walk the line, because you're Mine. I walk the line every day now. I know why Jesus is protective of the Holy Spirit__as in Don't grieve, quench or blaspheme Holy Spirit.

Our relationship with the Holy Spirit should be sweeter and tighter as time goes by. He will give you the gifts as you educate yourself on what each one is, and what they are for. One: some gifts operate for other people, Through you. It requires obedience and availability.

If you hear a voice that disturbs you, makes you fear; that was the devil. Send him into outer darkness in Jesus Name.

Keep coming back here. You'll love the ease of the Search Engine to look up things.

Relax. Sit quietly and just open your heart to Jesus. He already knows everything about you. Just talk to your Heavenly Father in honesty and sincerity

Jesus is the sourse of our being. jesus will direct, lead us into all truth. psalms is a very encouraging chapter. when we give our lives to jesus there is no better life to live than to be save. jesus changes everything. we now have a knowning purpose in god.

If I remain focused on the laws of God and leave His will and judgment up to Him, I will learn who is righteous by observing the failures of the wicked. My reward is my being surrounded by Gods chosen and obtaining wisdom and knowledge.

Hello Diana, Welcome!

It sounds to me that you are a new Christian. Is that right? If you want to grow closer to Jesus, I suggest that you begin reading the gospels books in the New Testament-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books tell us about the life and words of Jesus when He lived on earth. He is our Savior and our God. We get to know Him in the writings of the Bible.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have. We here try to help those who have questions. This is a good place to get answers.

I thank you for letting me comment on the bible. Many thanks to you. Amen!
