I would ask which time?
John 6:41; Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."
John 6:48; "I am the bread of life.
John 6:51; "I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."
There are more, but I assume you are talking about these.
John 8:58; Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."
Exod 3:14; God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
I am.
I exist, and everything that exists, exists because of Me. I existed before all things, after all things, through all things, in all things.
I created everything, I know everything... I am.
John 14:6; Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Heb 11:6; And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
John 6:41; Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."

How about...He said "I AM THAT I AM" As in Do you need salvation That's the I AM that I AM, Do you need healing, That's the I AM that I AM, Do you need deliverance from demons? That's the I AM that I AM, Maybe you need financial help? That's the I AM that I AM, Whatever you need, He is our provider, Whatever you need, and plenty of wants too...That's the I AM that He are.

It litereally means He who IS in the ancient Hebrew...meaning one who has no beginning or end. The term Yah'hoveh also literally means Yah who IS (we translate Yah as "The LORD" but it does not mean that, it is His name....

I AM is eternally constant. No matter who, where, what, when, I AM. Always and forever existing.

You're right of course, but I believe there is much more to it than that.

Brother...Look at it this way...we read "I am that I am" and it means nothing...Why? No expression in the words. No punctuation, no emphasis.... So, put the emphasis on the word "That" He says "I am THAT I am" Now you say "What I am" He answers " Do you need to be delivered from slavery to the Egyptians? That's the I am that I am; Do you need salvation That's the I AM that I AM, Do you need healing, That's the I AM that I AM, Do you need deliverance from demons? That's the I AM that I AM, Maybe you need financial help? That's the I AM that I AM, Whatever you need, He is our provider, Whatever you need, and plenty of wants too...That's the I AM that He are. By being THAT I am, God gives every single, every imaginable reason to come to Him. I am THAT I am is the entire gospel in a nutshell.

I believe that the words "I Am" are two of the most powerful words a believer can say because they will lock them in with the Father. God is therefore I am. Claiming these promises these words of the bible will have the effect of clarifying (perfecting) our awareness of our identity with Divinity which conceives and controls all the details of our lives by faith.

Quit trying to figure Him out and it definitely has nothing to do with us.......
He is just who He is..Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient .."The Great I Am!...God gets all the credit and we get none!

What?! He's our Father...It has everything to do with us! You sound just so religious...Don't you know Him, even a little bit? Perhaps you're not listening? Matthew 11:27

Dear Brothers, @Admon Mikha'el & @Born Again 2004
If not Brothers in Christ, then at least Members of common standing here at Talk Jesus.
How is it possible that two grown men have little difficulty communicating in a way that has more in common with how the World comports themselves, then Children of the Most High.
Is this the example we are to set for those who don't know the Lord as their Savior? What would draw them to want to know Him, if discussions such as the one that has transpired
between you two are an example of the Spiritual change that one has to look forward to having with those who profess to serve the same God.
Is it so difficult that one steps away, and in this case the visitor to the thread, should in good conscious be the one to do so, and not the originator. Thought he also bares responsibility for
the exchange that happened here as well. For as the saying goes, it takes two to Tango!
I'll keep the thread closed for awhile, and if I might suggest that you two spend some time in prayer, and maybe contemplating the Love Chapter found in 1 Corinthians 13. For you both have
been given a great gift, and it would be my desire that you both would remember the great sacrifice given that allows us to break bread, and the time to share his Wonderous Word with like minded
who love Him, as I'm sure you both do. If anything, at least remember that one day we'll be at the same banquet table, with our Lord, and it sure would do us good to leave these tendencies that
we have shown here behind us, before we attend such an awesome feast! Remember that it would not surprise me if He has you both sitting next to each other!
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
