"Again, your model has many flaws and puts the Bible at odds with itself. “I am” is not secret code for “I am God”. Even “I am that I am” is a poor translation of the Hebrew which is better translated ‘I will become what I will become’ or I will be what I need to be. This is evident with the redemptive names of God and I’m sure that if you’re not familiar you can google the term."

Rubbish.

Exodus 3:13-15( from the Hebrew Bible), And Moses said unto God: 'Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them: The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? what shall I say unto them?' And God said unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; and He said: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.' And God said moreover unto Moses: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.

The Jews are experts regarding their language. This passage clearly has God announcing His name as "I Am".

"Jesus was talking to the pharisees or saducees (don’t recall at the moment) and was reiterating that Abraham *was* the way of righteousness...and that if they were really living up to their claim of being of Abraham they would be happy to see Jesus. Abraham *was* the way or righteousness. Jesus became the way of righteousness. Previously Abraham was. Currently I am."

More rubbish. John 8:58, "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

"Wouldn’t that be silly to say that the only way to God was through God if Jesus is God?"

No. God's judgement is based on how one values the things of the Holy Spirit- the things He values. God has no need for, nor can anyone else be an intermediary. It is written, that they will all be taught by God, not that they would be taught by an intermediary.
