well let's check the record. John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad." John 8:57 "
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" John 8:58 "Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am."
was JESUS before Abraham? yes, ..... (smile)......
John 10:29 "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." John 10:30 "
I and my Father are one." John 10:31 "Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him." John 10:32 "Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?" John 10:33 "
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
so did the Lord Jeus LIE? no because the Jews knew exactly what "
ONE" meant..... (smile) it's the Greek word,
G1520 εἷς heis (heis') n.
ἕν hen (hen') [including the neuter (etc.)]
one.
[
a primary numeral]
KJV: a(-n, -ny, certain), + abundantly, man,
one (another), only, other, some
See also: G1527, G3367, G3391, G3762
do you understand what a primary numeral means here when the Lord Jesus said, "I and the Father are, are, are, ONE? Answer, the SAME person, or as the definition can be translated as "ANOTHER", or as the Greek say, G243 Allos.... Oh this is too easy.
and there are many other places just like this in the bible spoken by the Lord Jesus. .... (smile)...
YIKES!
