Question - since you say you are a Shi'ite Muslim, how many imams are there in your religion or sect?Yes we do. And in fact, Yahya (John was about flower of "life") in Arabic means "who gives life".

Well, each person has to come to their own understanding, their own limits.Yes we do. And in fact, Yahya (John was about flower of "life") in Arabic means "who gives life".

For me, stating "I am the gate" "I give eternal life" "I and The Father are one" is crossing a line.
But if Samuel said "I give eternal life" that would be blasphemy.Even though in reality, Samuel's (I know some say it means God hears, but I believe it means God's Name for many reasons I've explained before)name, is an expression of that as well.

Sure, command over life and death is God's domain/dominion.Can you explain why?

Genesis 9:5 And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:
Here's a better translation:That has nothing to do with Isa (a) words. Please, try again. You may have a point, but I don't see it.
Here's a better translation:
But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of every beast; of humankind, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of everyone for each other!
The point is, God is in command of life and death. "...for your own life-blood I require a reckoning ..." Saying "I give eternal life" is claiming to be God.
I can't see what you are saying has anything to do with that.
I am, that's why I brought other verses from chapter 10 to make my case. In context it sounds like Jesus is possessed or is claiming to be a god.Try to contextualize Jesus (a) words and what he means.
Here's what Jesus said, "My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of My Father’s hand. " John 10. I believe Jesus as written in the holy scriptures. I wonder if all the imams agree within Islam about the various ideas and folds, otherwise why would there be Shiite and other groups within the religion called Islam? Just wondering...Mohammad (s) has Twelve to succeed his position and Fatima (a) shares his spiritual station. However, while all of them are seen together in one mission, it's the current Imam (leader) who is the light of God and the door of God. You have to recognize the current leader and he is the door of God but of course, the Mahdi is connected with Fatima and his Twelve Captains (starting with Mohammad (s) the Nabi, and ending with Hassan Al-Askari). They are with him.
Same way, we see in Gospels, Moses (a) is with him, Elijah (a) is with him. Moses (a) obviously the founder is to show, people claiming connection to Moses (a) are in fact disconnected while disciples would see him with Jesus (a). Elijah (a) specifically was because his life was preserved and since Jesus (a) was heading to heaven, Elijah (a) came from heaven to earth, to hold position of light and holy spirit, till Mohammad (s). And Mohammad (s) as the Prophet who John was not, nor was John the Messiah nor Elijah, per his own words, to me is obvious. Comforter or praised/thanked one however you want to translate, Mohammad (s) is clearly in the Gospels to me.
It's part of all this word games from Trinity to other things, that people can't see the Gospels for what it is.
He was telling the truth. And when he mentioned gods from psalm 82, how do you feel about that? By the way, not all wanted to kill him. In the meantime, though, religions stay as they are, believing this or that, and it is God will make the decision as to what's true and what's not. Psalm 82 sums it up."God is for us a God of deliverance;
GOD the Lord provides an escape from death."
Psalms 68:21

I feel OK about it. Jesus in John wasn't a liar. His miracles require strict adherence to truthful words. God doesn't tolerate false words. Proverbs 12:22.He was telling the truth. And when he mentioned gods from psalm 82, how do you feel about that?
It's interesting because of what Moses wrote in the Law. In that if the Israelites obeyed the Law, they would be a kingdom of priests. Exodus 19 says: "Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations--for the whole earth is Mine. 6And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.” 7So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.…"Sure, command over life and death is God's domain/dominion.
Genesis 9:5 "But for your own life-blood I will require a reckoning: I will require it of every beast; of humankind, too, will I require a reckoning for human life, of everyone for each other!"
It's tied up with the Law and adherence to it.I feel OK about it. Jesus in John wasn't a liar. His miracles require strict adherence to truthful words. God doesn't tolerate false words. Proverbs 12:22.
