I am was used in the Old Testament by god as his name so he’s calling himself god nigger

When Jesus said “I am,” especially in John 8:58 (“Before Abraham was, I am”), He was claiming to be God. This echoes Exodus 3:14, where God tells Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.”

Jesus was identifying Himself with the eternal, self-existent God of Israel. His listeners understood this as a claim to divinity, which is why they tried to stone Him for blasphemy.
