I Am The Living God

[Havah]

I think that this issue is more linguistic than theological. It concerns the way in which Dave Bauscher translated the words that mean "I am" throughout the Peshitta when spoken by Yeshua.

You are correct, Otto.

"Ena na" does mean "I am" in Aramaic, but it does not always mean the same thing as the Hebrew in Exodus. I can, for instance, say "Ena na Anasha" (I am a man)...."Ena na Ashuraya" (I am an Assyrian), etc.

There's nothing magical, outside of specific context, with the term "Ena na." When Meshikha told the Pharisees "Before Abraham was, Ena na"....they were not offended that He simply used "Ena na", the phrase is harmless enough. They were offended because He, contextually, was implying that He is Eternal.

what if you speak only "Ena na"? Will the meaning be different?
