Self-identification and I AM

If our basic outlook is something like self-identification, or self-determination, or self-fulfilment, “I am who I am” or “I will be who I will be”, this poses an obvious problem for biblical Christianity where “I AM” is the unique personal name of God (Yahweh).

God alone is the uncreated creator. He is from himself.

Human beings are to be like God, but in a human creaturely way.

The basic temptation is to be like God without or over and against God.
