I Am The Living God
#2
Hi,

With all respect for his work, on whom I did base my current translation of the NT,
I find the support for this assertion is not very persuasive.

He says: "97%?"

What would be the 3%? I bet that the former blind men, would qualify for the 'non-divine' meaning?
John 9:9 literally uses the same phrase. The 'blind' man said: "Ena na!" (It's me!)

If this, for 97% would have a devine sound for aramaic listeners, the blind man would have risked stoning to death for sounding like: "I AM the living God."

But he was not accused of having said: "I AM" but accused for announcing that Jesus was the Messiah.

In fact, there is just one sentence, used by Paul that really refers to Exodus 3:14

Hebrews 1:12 (Murdock)
and like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.
