Logos Bible search for (<Lemma = lbs/el/ἐγώ> ANDEQUALS <LogosMorphGr ~ R??NS??>) BEFORE 1 WORD <Lemma = lbs/el/εἰμί> includes in Jesus ? "Not God" ? Savior ? Comment by Bill_Coley July 2019
From my perspective...
Keep your perspectives coming, both of you! (and anyone else) I'm serious about my desire to build your suggested texts and interpretations into our group's discussions. Of course, I can't possib…

AND YET ANOTHER TEXT FROM MY DAILY BIBLE READING:

Curious about Lord meaning ? "from God" ? (To me, from contemporary Jewish prayers and synagogue usage, Lord means יהוה God)
In my view, the applicable texts are clear that he who is "from" God (Jesus) is not himself G…

My earlier answer still applies. Rereading John 9 shows the man born blind answered belief question from Jesus with belief in Jesus. Humanly not know when the man born blind choose to believe in Jesus; my guess is after some Pharisees c…
Yes for John 9.11 plus agree with man born blind about having no sin testimony against Jesus. Do you agree the man born blind spoke Lord
My daily Bible reading regularly leads me to texts that support my view of the relationship between Jesus and God. I've made many mentions and written extensive analyses of Peter's Acts 2 sermon. Today the NT portion of my daily reading took me t…

Text indication for deity worship is the man born blind saying to Jesus, "Lord, I believe" (remembering contemporary synagogue meaning for Lord => יהוה ). Rephrasing an unanswered question: With Jesus knowing to wors…
If Jesus is not God, what is the purpose of Jesus asking the man born blind to believe in Jesus ? (instead of asking: "Do you believe in God?") After the man born blind believed in Jesus and worshipped Jesus, what motivated Jesus to acc…
