God calls Himself the "I AM". Yahweh. Jesus called Himself the "I AM" many times in the Book of John.

"I AM" implies inhabiting eternity. Outside of time.

For the Bible to describe God as inhabiting eternity prior to modern science's discovery that time is a physical property, lends much credence to those goat herders bead on the truth.

The prophetic record of the Bible convinces many, including Newton, that the God of the Holy Bible's ability to know the future clenches His ability to say that there is no other God besides Him.

Isa 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,...

1Cr 8:4 ...and that [there is] none other God but one.

Since the thread has degenerated into a religion thread, I have a question: Why is God ungrammatical? "I am the great I Am". OK...

"I AM" implies inhabiting eternity. Outside of time.

I Am Jenny. I yam wat I yam. No way does that imply anything about eternity. It simply says that I exist. And "I am Jenny" says it in a grammaticaly correct way.

Why does that "I Am who Am" line evoke such reverent awe with so many people? I just don't get it.
