Obviously you don't remember what you say even when shown it. You said there is no "was" in the statement and I showed you there is and asked you what you thought about the last word that is also translated as was, WHICH is what you tried to assert. It's clear who is LYING but not surprising as you and your ilk are OF the father of lies.
Regardless, you are wrong in so many ways I don't have time to WASTE with you on this one small issue you want to obfuscate the truth with.

I know exactly what I stated:
There is no "was" in this statement:

The ONLY justification for the common English
interpretation of John 8:58 by the translator-INTERPRETORS is TRINITARIAN DOGMA. There is no "was" in the statement:
"Verily, verily I say unto you, I am before Abraham comes to pass", and the reason you cannot see or understand this is because you cannot see Abraham as representing the Covenant, (and Sarah is likened to Yerushalaim of above) even though Paul tells you in many places that this is true. Likewise you do not believe the statement where Yeshua quotes Exodus 23:20a verbatim and emphatically states that Yochanan is the Malak-Angel of Exodus 23:20 while stating that all the Prophets and the Torah
PROPHESIED until Yochanan. What you have abolished in your mind, (Torah) was not even fully implemented until Golgotha when Messiah Yeshua
CONFIRMED the Covenants(s). You are so blinded by your dogma that the TRUTH sounds wildly strange and foreign to your plugged up ears. :crackup:
