Christians believe that Jesus is God because he claimed to exist before Abraham, but doesn't this also apply to Solomon and Jeremiah, who existed before their births?

In John 8:58, Jesus asserts, 'before Abraham came into being, I AM,' which indicates his eternal existence and divine nature. This claim is supported by the context in which Jesus speaks of being 'from above' and having come down from heaven, establishing a clear distinction between his nature and that of human figures like Solomon and Jeremiah. Furthermore, Jesus' assertion that Abraham saw him reinforces the idea that he transcends time and human understanding. The Gospel of John further clarifies this by stating that Jesus had glory with the Father 'before the world existed' (John 17:5), emphasizing his pre-existence and divine status as the Word who was with God and was God (John 1:1). Thus, the claim of pre-existence is not merely about existing before a certain figure but about the unique divine identity of Jesus as the Son of God.
