How many times is the word I AM used in the Bible?

Answer 1

ANSWERER (A)

I don't think that means much, The Bible is a lot more sacred the merely how many times words are mentioned in the bible. Maybe you should try reading the bible instead of counting how many times words are mentioned in the bible.

ANSWERER (B)

Contrary to the above, dismissive, answer the words I AM are immensely important. I AM is the name God gave to himself - 'I am who am' - this given to Moses at the 'burning bush'. The name, in Hebrew, is translated Ya Weh, which, in modern English is translated as 'Jehovah'. However, the name Jehovah is never used in the Bible (unless you are a member of the sect known as ''Jehovah's Witnesses"). Instead, the Jews believed God's name so sacred they refused to print it, using the word Adonai instead ('The Lord'). In modern Bibles when the 'Lord' refers to the name of God it is written in capitals. Therefore, in any Bible, the word 'Lord' - meaning Ya Weh, meaning 'I Am' is written many hundreds of times.

On one occasion in the New Testament Jesus called himself'I am' - much to the shock of the Jewish authorities, just one occasion out of many where Jesus claimed to be God.
