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

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.

We know that. Would you be more impressed if God had said, "I am Fred"?
