The cited article is closed for comments. One commenter said: "Christ never once refers to himself as the son of God." Christ did better than that. He referred to Himself as God. In John 8:58 He said: "before Abraham came to be, I AM" (ego eimi; as also in verses 24 and 28). In John 10:33 He said: "I and the Father are one." In John 18:5-8 He repeatedly refers to Himself as "I AM," the same words as used in Exodus 3:14 found in the LXX, Tanakh (Ehyeh), and Strong's Hebrew dictionary n. 1961.
