I AM the Bread of Life
I AM the Light of the World
I AM the Gate
I AM the Good Shepherd
I AM the Resurrection and the Life
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life
I AM the Vine
Those seven are often grouped together. Then there is also another usage in John
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” - John 8:58
OK, got it. Just more woo statements with no explanation (or possible explanation) more than "just believe". Or does the "most assuredly" make all the difference?
This is one of the main reasons why I got the hell out.
Not exactly. There's more to it. I guess I was just giving you the short version since I didn't want you to feel like I was trying to punish you with it or whatever you suggested before.
