I followed a few threads on the Trinity, abd the divinity of God, and even if it is highly packed with data and opinions, I still learned a lot from the participants.
However, there is one argument, if I may call it as such, that did not surface in all these posts, and this is the words Jesus used when He answered the High priest:
Mark 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Mark 14:61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
Mark 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Now, there are many instances where Jesus said these words and where people referred to Jesus calling Himself "I AM"
Now for an interesting fact.
The Jews never spoke Greek, even Josephus (37 to 100Ad) said that he could not find any jew that could help him to translate his book from Aramaic to Greek except for three men. He also continioued to say, the Jew and their leaders would say that it is better to eat swine, than to learn Greek.
Therefore, one must look at the Aramaic of Jesus's words because this was the language He spoke, and it would certainly tell us what He intended to mean in saying: "I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
So lets see:
The English translates I AM from the Greek ---Ego Emi.
The Aramaic is "Ena na"
Ena na is the word used for the English literal translation to ---"The Living God"!
The Pesheta and Diadache is the oldest dated new Testament, and is quoted by ancient Christian Church Fathers, as old as from the 1st century.
This all makes perfect sense taken into consideration that it is highly likely that the Greek was translated from the Aramaic, and the oldest Greek Manuscripts dates anything from 65AD to 120Ad (up to 900AD)
Therefore, when the High Priest asked Jesus: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Jesus answered: "I am the Living God: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
Now it makes perfect sense that the High priest followed up with!!!
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
Mark 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Jesus was crucified because He claimed to be God!
Trinity!
