It is an axiom which implies there is no explanation/discussion required and is self-evident.

By God calling himself I AM it indicates he is current, here and now (not just in the past or future).

It also is short and to the point and unlike a typical name will not change in its meaning.

Why was the Cleansing of the Temple so important?

A:The Cleansing of the Temple was important in the synoptic gospels because in these gospels it was the trigger for the arrest of Jesus. The author of John's Gospel chose to make the resurrection of Lazarus the trigger for the arrest of Jesus and so moved the Cleansing of the Temple to the very beginning of the mission of Jesus, as a relatively unimportant episode.


Which is the first gospel of the New Testament?

This question has two answers. The gospels are traditionally placed in the order: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, so the first is Matthew. However, there is very strong evidence that Mark was the first gospel to be written, and that Matthew and Luke used Mark as their primary sources, so Mark was the first gospel written.


How many gospel authors are there in the Bible?

There are four gospels in the Bible, each written by a different author, so there are four gospel writers. All the gospels were written anonymously and only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. There is no good reason to believe that these were the actual authors of the gospels, so we do not know the names of the four gospel writers. John's Gospel might have been written by more than one evangelist.

How many times is the word Gospel in the book of Romans?

In the original writings, NONE. Gospel is an Old English word meaning 'good spell' with the word spell from the old Anglo-Saxon word for 'tidings.' Hence the often used phrase 'the Good News' describing the New Testament. The word most often translated as 'Gospel' is the word 'evangel' which has the same meaning of good news or good tidings in English. The Gospel then is God's announcement of His Good News to all of mankind concerning His coming Kingdom that we may become members in. So then, the Bible contains the 'Gospel' of God but not all of the Bible is gospel.


Johns 16 letters in the bible?

Well, all of the four versions of the Gospel are important to Roman Catholics, but I would say that it is important because it really bridges the Old Testament to the New Testament.


Is Johns book a Gospel?

The first four Books in the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are Gospels and each tell the story of Jesus' ministry on earth in four slightly different slants, which is understandable as they were written by four different men, but all were lead by the Holy Spirit so that we get a more complete story of Jesus. John did write I, II, and III John and the Book of Revelation, but these four books are not the "gospel", only the first four books in the N.T. are the Gospel accounts.
