JGnat MYConclusion is based on the search spanning my lifetime.
I AM is not the proper English translation of what God spoke to Moses in EX3:14(Eyeh asher Eyeh) as transliterated by Doctoc Cohen in Soncino Chumash eited by Slotki. Rashi translates Ex3:14 as "I will be with you" "THE I AM" is not a proper ttile denoting the creator. Calling YHWH "the I AM" is an error.
it is erroneous to refer to YHWH as THE I am, or evrn I AM. Ive seached all that i the past as far as concrete answer? I donr t know conclusively what things in the Bible mean..

Conclusion? Already? In one lifetime? Too early! Lots of search-time left!
When I was a teenager, a friend and I prayed earnestly to God to tell us who He was. There was a great wind and two words. I AM. That is what HE told me, before I ever cracked open a bible. Besides, I think it fits. The all-knowing, all-existing just IS, and doesn't need to explain himself fully.

So from the extreme that beliefs are dictated to believe what you like? Any definitions any laws any knowledge?

The WBTS really messed with our heads (and lives) yet, I don't think we should 'write-off' everything they taught concerning the bible. I work hard to distinguish and separate God's views from mans. Then live by God's. - "Make sure of all things..."
