Please read John 8:23-24, and check the Greek (which I put in parentheses)
But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am (ego eimi: I am I am) [the one I claim to be] you will indeed die in your sins."
Jesus used the I AM of God several times in identifying Himself. This infuriated the Jews, who tried to stone him. In John 10:31-33 we read the following:
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
They understood Jesus' claim. And, if Jesus were not God, it was indeed blasphemy.
In Revelation 13:8 we read that Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This is simply a man?
In Colossians 1:15 + He is identified as the Creator. The Creator is identifed as God and God alone in Isaiah.
In Philippians 2:6, Paul states clearly that Jesus was/is in 'very nature' God.
In order, in other words, to deny the deity of Christ, you also have to deny the truth of the Bible.
