A Parting Thought

I was on the forum for a few hours this morning reading threads and replying to some, and I glanced down at a stack of newspapers I have stored in this room. The uppermost page had a photo of a girl holding up a sign. This sign said:

JE SUIS
CHARLIE

So you understand how old this particular paper was. 🙂 While I was looking at it, a thought entered my head. Looking at the first line, I saw:

JE SUIS

Now I know this means "I AM" in French. Now, let's take out the letter "I", and crunch it up to get rid of the spaces:

JESUS

I find it amazing that the French words for "I AM" can be minimally manipulated to result in the name of JESUS. So I was struck by the idea that the name of JESUS (or GOD) could also be rendered "I AM", just like in the Book of Exodus.

Is this coincidence?? (I have maintained for some time now that there are no real "coincidences", that things happen for a reason, even though that reason may not be immediately apparent.) What say you?

To some who are dyslexic God might appear dog, does this have meaning?
I think not.

Will give it some thought as i walk the dog.

In the meantime though, recycle already.

It has meaning if they see a sign in a park that says, "Clean up after your dog", and thus devote their entire lives to caring for victims of natural disasters. 😵

We've finally unraveled a mystery. Jesus' real last name was Charlie.

"A parting thought"

Are you off again?

That is essentially a claim that nothing random ever happens. If random things can happen then either real coincidences are very common or God is being very careful to stop them from happening.
I just looked at my clock and it said 3:00 exactly? I would have said 'coincidence' but you say not. If the meaning is not apparent, will it become apparent at some point in the future, or is the reason possibly something we will never know? If it had said 3:04 (like my computer clock did when I looked at it) then what difference would it have made? Did God adjust my clock to make it say 3:00, or did he manipulate me into looking at it at just that time, or did he manipulate you into posting what you posted knowing that it would make me look at my clock?

"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.'" (Exodus 3:14) / "Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am.” (John 8:58)

Note: The declaratory sentence "I AM." emphatically states without a beginning in eternity past or an ending which defies human logic because we lack any meaningful or useful frame of reference. Nice change of pace for this online spirituality forum. Thanks,

I am wondering whether or not you are aware that the JE SUIS CHARLIE phrase is in response to a terrorist act carried out in the name of 'I AM'?

I'd be interested in the word for "Jesus" and/or "Jesus Christ" in other languages with which you're fluent. Thanks,

Same explanation applies to languages other than "European"?
