Shlama Ahka,


Did not our Lord say "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." , and not "I am a way, a truth and a life?
It is the former, as the following words He spoke make plain. "No one comes to The Father but by Me."

Let us apply a bit of logic to that statement. If He is The Life, what other life is there ? If He is "The Life", that is absolute; there is no other Life to speak about. John 1:4 says :[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0$nynbd 0rhwn Nwhyty0 0yxw 0wh 0yx hb[/font] In him was lives; and the lives was the light of men. -My translation.
[font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0yx[/font] in the NT is a plural word, as shown by the sayeme marks above it. The OT Peshitta has it in accordance with the Hebrew text of Gen 2:7, to indicate the Divine Life (Lives) Elohim breathed into Adam ("breath of Lives")Hebrew-myyx tmSn.It is a word signifying the infinite Life of God . I call it a pregnant plural.

If Meshikha is "The Life" , then He is The Life of God as well as the Life of all living creatures. He never qualified Himself as the life of all living creatures, merely, but as "The Life", meaning, no other life exists which He is not.

Hence, when Alaha sent His Son, He was sending Himself, or shall we say, He went with His Son, as Yeshua said, "I am not alone, because the Father is with me." John 16:32


Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
The Life sacrificed for the sins of mankind was the life of God- all the Life of the fulness of Deity, which all resided in the Person of Maryah Meshikha Yeshua.
The companion verse to John 3:16 is 1 John 3:16:16 By this we know his love towards us, because he gave up his life for us: and we also ought to give up our lives for our brethren.

God is the implied Person or Being spoken of as giving His Life, since no other is mentioned in the context, other than God in verse 10.
This is why Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 5:14 that "If The One died for all, then everyone died with Him"
Everyone would include everyone ! All in Heaven and earth.

Hence, the cry of The Christ is the cry of Heaven and earth,
of every soul of every living being, whether man, beast or angel; nay the very cry of Jehovah Himself to His Father and of The Father to His Son, for the LIFE of all was dying;
THE LIGHT of Heaven and earth was going out.

Am I wrong ? Is The Life not THE LIFE ?

Was not God in Christ on the cross, reconciling the world to His majesty ? 2 Cor. 5:19.


Did not God give Himself when He gave His Son ? John 3:16;1 John 3:16
Is there a greater love than God's love ? There is if God's love was giving up the life of another. "Joh 15:13 There is no greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
No, my brothers, God's love was the greatest love possible.
He laid down His Divine Life for us when Jesus died.
Hear the words of Ruth's love to Naomi:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

Could The God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ love His Son any less than this woman Ruth loved her Mother-in Law ?

Consider what I have written, prayerfully. I believe Heaven will answer the heart that seeks and hears the voice of The Truth.
