I always took God's answer to the question of "who do I tell them you are" to mean God is existence. I am.“Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”Jesus answered, “…Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”Right. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, it was first formulated as early Christians attempted to understand the relationship between Jesus and God in their scriptural documents and prior traditions.[8]
Trinity - Wikipedia
God gave all the key for free--He said--This is my son the beloved in whom I am well pleased-LISTEN TO HIM.--He teaches-John 20:17, Rev 3:12
Can you read English? No where in either of the 2 scriptures I shared does it say Jesus or the HS is God-- It is 100% clear--Jesus has a God, his Father. The FIRSTBORN( created) of all creation. Collosians 1:15.
So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him…(John 8:53-59)
Yes Jesus answered correctly, he lived before Abraham. In the Hebrew language of the OT, there is no I am that I am. I will be what I will be is correct. I am that I am, only found in trinity translations. = Error to mislead.
God created existence. Existence proceeded from Existence.
But nonetheless, Jesus was telling them he was God. That's why they picked up stones to throw at him. They understood that he was claiming to be God. In their eyes he blasphemed. Just ask any Jew here who is supremely offended by the existence of Christianity and specifically Christ. They are constantly throwing stones at Jesus.
