One, evidently a Unitarian who does not believe in the prehuman existence of Jesus , has presented the idea that the Greek phrase in John 8:58, often transliterated as “prin Abraam genesthai ego eimi”,  should be rendered as “before Abraham was God”. This is based on the assumption that “ego eimi” is being used in John 8:58 as the name often transliterated as EHJEH (from the Masoretic text) in Exodus 3:14.  We have no scriptural reason to think that when Jesus spoke the words often transliterated as EGO EIMI in John 8:58, that he was using the Holy Name EHJEH of Exodus 3:14.

We also know that the judges of Israel are evidently called “ha Elohim” as a body in Exodus 21:6; 22:8,9,28 [See Acts 23:5]. However, the judges of Israel—as a group—were never called “sons of God” nor “sons of the Most High." The thought of many Bible ...
