The Jews of John 8 could not hear Jesus because they were not of God. Prayerfully consider what Jesus said in the John 8 dialogue and observe how Trinitarian academics are not hearing Jesus and disregarding him for the sake of their interpretation of verse 58. Their interpretation of John 8:58 directly contradicts the things Jesus had just said. Why don't the teachers of Trinity world hear Jesus?

Trinitarian academics say that, concerning who he is, Jesus glorified himself in the highest way possible at John 8:58 and it means everything. But Jesus had just said that if he glorified himself concerning who he is, his glory means nothing. Jn 8:53-54

Trinitarian academics say Jesus testified about himself at John 8:58. Jesus said if he testified about himself his testimony is not true. Jn 8:16; see Jn 5:31

Trinitarians academics claim the Jews clearly understood what Jesus was saying at John 8:58. But Jesus had just said the Jews did not understand what he was saying. 8:43-47.

Why don't Trinitarian interpreters hear Jesus when he says these things?

Jesus had just explained why he could say what he did at 8:58 if you only listen to him.

"I am he who testifies about myself, and THE FATHER who sent me testifies about me.” 8:18.

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58

"the things which I heard from Him, THESE I SPEAK to the world." - 8:26.

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58

"I do nothing from myself, but I SPEAK THESE THINGS as the Father taught me" - 8:28.

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58

" He who is of God hears THE WORDS OF GOD" - 8:47.

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58

"Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of TWO men is true. I am He who testifies about Myself, and THE FATHER who sent me testifies about me."

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58

If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true. 32 There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony HE GIVES about Me is true. 5:31.

"Before Abraham was I am." - 8:58.

TWO witnesses are required or Jesus; testimony is not true (5:31). The Father is one witness and Jesus is the other because Jesus speaks the Father's words not his own (14:24). In this way, this flesh named Jesus is the Father's Word to the world, the Light of the Father. So when you read John 8:58, what would you expect the Father to say?
