I agree.
Translators seem to agree it is a title since they all capitalize it, but I guess it doesn’t matter much to me. What I find interesting is my original point. Translators capitalize Ex 3:14 but many do not capitalize John 8:58 even though they are likely trinitarians. In doing this they show the 2 verses are not linked. That is truthful. I respect that. Yet most trinitarians ignore this fact even when confronted with it. Typical of them.
The real significance of Jesus' statement is that He declared He presently exists before Abraham did exist, a statement which can only be made by an eternal being.

Much love!

That is a statement made by someone older than Abraham.

My translations capitalize the common expression in both places, forcing an artificial connection.

‘I am’ is not what God said even though most trinitarian translators go with that. Something is lost from the original Hebrew. It means Eternal.

God first expressed his unique nature to Moses, which differentiated him from other gods/idols in the region. Then, he told Moses his personal name in Ex 3:15.

I find trinitarians ignoring v15 to be a Case Study in Willful Ignorance.
Agreed.

If you want to see how many trinitarian translators don’t capitalize John 8:58 check this link.

Not just older. Eternal, meaning, living unbounded by our time continuum.

Before Abraham did exist (in the past), I do exist (in the present). Before Abraham was, I am.

Much love!

Who was, has been, born in the days of Isaiah, 700 years before Christ.

Yes, the article explains many trinitarian translations say God but others say hero.

Another point of deception in Christiandom is the denial of many REAL lowercase gods. Our lord relied on Ps 82:6 to defend his claim of being the son of god. Check it out.
You clearly evaded again. Our Bibles say you are WRONG!

I know you so desperately want to equate being a lord with being the all-powerful Creator of all. They are just not equal at all.

There are 2 lords of the Sith. Doesn't make them God.

Jesus and every other lord who was created was given authority by God. Doesn't make them God.
I believe the question that you evaded is, "How many "Lords of Heaven" are you visualizing?" Do you need to consult Kingdom Hall?

Jesus the one who was by Gods side during creation= Gods master worker. He speaks at Proverbs 8 and tells all he was created. You have been told twisted untruths of what things mean--Only begotten son = created direct-first and last. Coll 1:15-Jesus is the firstborn of all creation-Fact-all creation occurred at the beginning. Firstborn= created direct-first and last.

Gen 1 "God said let US make man in OUR image according to OUR likeness"
Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Jesus is indeed God the Creator.
Col 1 By Him all things were created!

Let us( YHWH(Jehovah) and his master worker( Jesus) is the us. Our likeness= the ability to love and reason.
You missed the facts of true God worship history by listening to blind guides.
Undeniable facts= From Moses on up until this very day, the Israelite religion, teach, serve and worship the Abrahamic God= a single being God=YHWH(Jehovah)--taught to Jesus when he attended those places of worship and to every bible writer. 100% undeniable facts.
Only the trinity religions teach God is 3 in one. They have become a house divided they will not stand in their confusion.

Kingdom Hall doctrine is not "undeniable facts". No Scripture? No surprise.

There are people who will choose to believe lies, that's their choice. Those that say human beings have living souls instead of teaching human beings are living souls are choosing to believe a lie.
No Scripture? Of course not. Even the NWT says you're wrong!

Quote the Scripture for all to see. It's not that difficult.
You mean after all the complaints about the NWT translation, you don't have a preferred translation? How sad for you.
