   Actually, the Bible called him "The Word" (John 1:1)   
      
   > John also called him God.   
      
   > Some call him the I am, [I am what!] who knows. Read Genesis 3:14 to find   
   out. Yahweh means "I am the one who is" I AM is a derivitave of this phrase

   Look at the context. In Hebrew culture, the unblemished lamb was a   
   sacrifice pleasing to God. Jesus was the sacrifice for our sins   
      
   > Jesus also called himself a door. Please tell me where you read this.   
      
   > Some refer to him as a savoir. He is the savior. He died for our sins so   
   that we would have eternal life. (John 3:16)
