Jesus didn't claim to be YHWH/G-d there. We all existed before we were born, even Jesus. G-d knew us all before we were born.
Looks more like a shabby translation. Probably should have been 'was' instead of am.

I would say that God knows we are going to be born because he's outside of time. But within time we don't exist before we are born. Adam didn't exist before God formed him. We don't exist until we are formed by God in the womb.

Whatever. You still haven't shown a verse where Jesus flat out says he IS G-D. You also haven't shown any verse from Acts where it was necessary for anyone to profess that Jesus wsas G-d to be saved.

And if Jesus was G-d then why the battle of wills in the garden of Gethsemane? Is G-d always indecisive?
