[QUOTE="harsimiritkaur, post: 20926, member: 1661"] Let's walk the talk and talk the walk. At least I do that, as Devanesanative commented. But when he said "at least" that means that there is too much room for improvement in me. This is true of all of us. But what did he mean by "at least"? Am I that far off, or do I have to become a Hindu to be up to Devanesative's expectations? What do I have to do get better than, "at least"? Perhaps you did not mean it the way I am interpreting your words. If that's the cases, then just disregard my "at least" comment and keep the discussions flowing. My dear Jass, Singh, Before Abraham was "I am" does not mean, "I am God." How can Jesus body exist before Abraham. You see all of us are a product of the infinite universe. "A new heavens and a new earth are in agreement with Guru Granth Sahib, "Gatant rav sasiyar nekyetr gaganang (Shlok Seheskriti M5 ang 1354). I am refers to the entire existence of existence, not as we undesrstand it. Everything continually recycles according to God's hukam. To merely claim Exodux Chapter 3 to Jesus' self referal of "I am" is poor scholarly judgement. And this type of mentality is stupid fundamentalism. Jesus prayed, "Our Father", if he claimed to be God himself, why didn't he said, "Oh me."? The lamb slain before the foundation of the earth, the blood shed planned just for Jesus.
