Faithful Jews viewed Paul's salvation theory as blatant blasphemy because his theological teachings explicitly ridiculed all previous revelations from God, including the sacred Torah, while teaching a doctrine that went against the absolute oneness of God.
The platform asserts that Jesus did not claim divinity in this instance, and that his mention of Psalm 82:6 in John 10:34 was a defense noting that human judges are called 'gods' in scripture, thus challenging the accusation of blasphemy.
In Trinitarian Christian theology, yes. In John 8:58, Jesus uses 'Ego Eimi' in a timeless present tense contrasted with Abraham's beginning in time ('was born'). By claiming eternal pre-existence, He deliberately invoked the character of the divine name, which is why the Jewish religious leaders immediately picked up stones to execute Him for blasphemy.
