To anyone who is fluent in Greek or in Greek grammar, can you take a look at this and tell me what you think, whether you have rebuttals or anything of the sort please? I was in a debate with a Muslim, and when I brought up the I AM statement said by Jesus

To anyone who is fluent in Greek or in Greek grammar, can you take a look at this and tell me what you think, whether you have rebuttals or anything of the sort please? I was in a debate with a Muslim, and when I brought up the I AM statement said by Jesus, he sent me this link. I am not fluent in Greek, so I do not know if what this link says is true or not. I'm gonna have to bother you guys on this one.

If he's going to say that the texts of Holy Scripture can't be trusted to be genuine who cares about his exegesis. The only reason Scriptural exegesis matters is because the entirety of Holy Scripture is divinely inspired. When the entire body of Scripture is studied Jesus is necessarily someone that Islam cannot accept, but to be pragmatic they argue from the text when they can and argue about the validity of the text when they cannot. From a brief look at what he's saying on his site it looks like he has pretty standard Muslim misunderstandings or twisting of what we believe about the Godhead, relation of the divine persons, and the nature of the incarnation

well first of all that isn't modern greek, it's καθαρεύουσα. it uses the polytonic system and many dead verb formations. I do not know what the "I am" argument is, the link doesn't explain it very well, but essentially Jesus is saying he existed before Abraham did.
