You are obviously quoting from a Bible that was translated by Trinitarians. The reality is that that's not what Jesus said at John 8:58.
I AM

I disagree. GOD told this to Moses in response to the question Who shall I say sent me. It would make no sense for Moses to go to the Israelites and tell them that I Am sent him with explaining who I am was. In addition, and most importantly, in Genesis chapter 2, we are introduced to another actor YHWH, acting upon the creation in conjunction with Elohim from chapter 1, but since we know that only God can create, Elohim and YHWH must be the same personality. Now in the context of the chapter does repeating "I Am" over and over make any sense if God is simply stressing his existence. No. YHWH is the covenant name for Elohim.
I have news for you. Both Modalism and Unitarianism are blasphemous heresies. Now that we have unmasked you, you will not find a receptive audience for your heretical ideas.
We have a some kind of non-triniarian cultist on board who denies that YHWH is God's name and claims that Jesus never used I am to identify himself as God.
God, Yahweh> stated to Moses that it was His "real" name though
Yes, Unitarianism, Oneness, Modalism Arianism are all damnable heresies
That would make his Jesus not the One of the bible
It doesn't matter when God told Moses he is I AM. That doesn't change the fact the term "I am" is simply an affirmation of one's existence. God said "I am who I am" at Exodus 3:13, and by verse 15 of the same chapter 3, he elaborated by immediately giving Moses his personal name. That personal name is written in Hebrew with the four capital letters YHWH known as the tetragrammaton and it appears some 7,000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures aka Old Testament.
YHWH, sometimes pronounced Yahweh is a far cry from I AM.
"{13} Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?” {14} God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” {15} God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations." (Exodus 3:13-15 -- World English Bible)
And? What's that got to do with the fact that Christendom's Trinity isn't supported by scripture? Do tell.
Stop being dramatic. You can only unmask someone trying to hide. And obviously, I made no attempt at hiding the fact that I don't agree with teachings not supported by scripture.
