Before Abraham was, I am. (Jn 8:54-55)

If Jesus is a prophet then he has a right to pass on the words of God.
What if that is what he was doing the whole time? If so, the words
about Abraham make sense, because it is God speaking.

But what about the "I am". I think that this indicates that Jesus was also
I special character in history. A manifestation of God. He is more than a
prophet.

Muhammad is allowed to be the mouthpiece of God by the Muslims,
but the Christians get confused when Jesus speaks as God. He is a
special soul that has witnessed history and influenced earlier prophets.

The Bab, 1844-1850, said that he spoke to Moses through the burning
bush. It is the job of messengers to pass on messages. Why should we
be so threatened? Is it because God is asking us to do acts that we are
too lazy to do? Is the message too much for us to take?
