CHRIST JESUS
If you do claim to be a CHRISTIAN
and affirm to be a true disciple of CHRIST.
The dictionary meaning of the word 'Christ'
reads:
"the anointed king or Messiah
of Jewish prophecy"

The Gospel according to John
Chapter 4
Note: Jesus came to a city of Samaria,
called Sychar. He was wearied from his journey and was sitting by a well.
His disciples had gone into the city to buy food. A Samaritan Woman comes
to draw water from that well. Jesus asked the woman to give him some water
to drink. When Jesus informed the woman she was a widow and had five husbands,
the surprised woman said to Jesus:
"Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."
The story now continues in the scanned page below.
Read the response by Jesus to this Samaritan Woman.
(The hand written noted on the sides are for my personal references).
Please read the hi-lighted text carefully
and notice the word "he" is in the
italics.
Jesus clearly acknowledged and
declared to the woman
~He was the Messiah - the Christ~
who was to come as per the Jewish
beliefs.
Those who claim otherwise are indeed telling us to understand
that Jesus did speak a LIE before the Samaritan Woman.

The Gospel according to John
Chapter 8
Note: In the Verse 24 below, Jesus is repeating the
phrase that he had spoken earlier before the Samaritan Woman in John 4:
25-26 that we just examined.
The editors of the Bible have stated within the marginal notes;
"Most auth. (authorities on the Bible) connect
this (the text of Verse 24) to
Ex. 3:14 I AM THAT I AM." The
Hebrew text of Exodus 3: 14 confirms that the phrase spoken by the God
of Moses was "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh" meaning; "I
AM THAT I AM". IF, Jesus indeed wanted to
convey to his disciples that he was the same
"God of Moses" he would have repeated that
entire phrase.
This kind of conjecture, deduction or connection
is negated, four verses later in Verse 28. Please
see the text below. John 8: 28 reads:
"and, I do nothing on My
own initiative,
but I speak these things as
the Father taught me."
Jesus spoke the truth and acknowledged
that
God was his Teacher and he was
God's Disciple (student).

The Gospel according to
John Chapter 8
Note: Please note in Verse 58 below, Jesus is
simply repeating the phrase that he had spoken in the earlier verses. He
was a MESSIAH -- CHRIST.
IF Jesus was "GOD" the Almighty,
and had so declared before the Jews:
Why would GOD the Almighty,
hide Himself from
the mortal men and get
out from the Temple of God?
Finally, can an Explicit "Quotation" by Jesus
be superseded by an implied "Deduction"?
Please read John 17: 3 and 4
above
There is "ONLY ONE TRUE GOD"
(whom Jesus had glorified over and over again
until he had the last breath)
all the others are CONJURED gods.
May that TRUE GOD Open Your Hearts
to accept the EXPLICIT TRUTH taught by Jesus...
(The Truth that is not based upon the conjectures).
