The only person to mention spiritual discernment was Paul, in 1 Corinthians 2:14. Yet Paul did not believe Jesus was God, as is evident from his writings, e.g.:
1 Corinthians 8:6 (WEB):
yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
Romans 15:6 (WEB):
that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1 (WEB):
(1) Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
(3) concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
(4) who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
(5) through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;
(6) among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
(7) to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3 (WEB):
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
Colossians 1:3 (ESV):
We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,
Hebrews chapter 1. Colossians chapter 1.
That's hardly an explanation of the simple words "I am" being used in straightforward sentences that don't need explanation of those words! You have been confused by your dependence on "confused language" into thinking that Jesus using the words "I am" was him declaring himself to be God - it clearly was not! The Hebrew word translated as "I am" in Exodus 3:14 means "to exist"; the two Greek words in the New Testament mean "I am", or "I have existed". God's name YHVH has been translated as "the existing One" (Online Bible Hebrew Lexicon). You're the one relying on translations into different "confused languages" to try and make a meaning that is not there!
Put it in context. The previous verse says, "It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid". So Jesus is simply saying that the Father (God) was one witness and that Jesus himself is another witness, therefore there are two witnesses so Jesus' testimony is valid. It's absurd to think that Jesus was trying to declare that he was God by what he was saying.
There is no indication in Jesus' words that he was delclaring himself to be God. What words would you expect him to use to state that he was from above and not of this world?
A better translation would be "I have existed from before Abraham was born", or as the The Living Bible (see below) translates it, "The absolute truth is that I was in existence before Abraham was ever born!".
The Living Bible is a paraphrase ("thought for thought" translation as opposed to a "word for word" translation) of the Old and New Testaments. Its purpose is to say as exactly as possible what the writers of the Scriptures meant, and to say it simply, expanding where necessary for a clear understanding by the modern reader.
