I've noticed that several of these John 8:58 missives attempt to involve
"the Witnesses."
For the record, "the Witnesses" did not invent the PPA (or similar names)
category, nor are Jason BeDuhn, Kenneth L. McKay, or similar advocates of the
PPA (or similar names) members of "the Witnesses."
I, for one, would appreciate discussion of this matter, if there is really
anything new to add, on the pure basis of the Biblical Greek text, without
attempts to cast aspersions on the beliefs of "the Witnesses."

The Witnesses may attempt to argue, using the footnote to John 8:58 in the
Kingdom Interlinear Translation (or Appendix 6F in the NWT with References)
that because "before Abraham was" is an aorist infinitive clause (meaning
that
the "before" implies an indefinite action, i.e., does not specify that
Christ
has always existed), ego eimi should be translated "I have
been.".................
