At the root of Judeo/Christian belief is knowing Who God Is

There is no such thing as the Judeao-Christian belief. That's like saying Christan-Mormon belief. Christianity and Judaism are mutually exlcusive. Ask any observant Jew.

Christians have borrowed, altered and reinterpreted many Jewish beliefs and scriptures, that much is obvious. That's about as far as it goes.

He certainly cannot discern Who God IS from text on papyrus. To him, “I am” is just “I am” – dead letters.

There is no standalone "I am" as a divine title in scripture, except in doctrinally tainted translations.

To the natural man, the Scriptures are just like any other ancient manuscript and are subject to his anthrocentric scrutiny. But to us, they contain the words of God - they are alive. They are spirit and life.

And your proof of such proposition is that some choose to believe it? So, if someone chooses to believe in pink unicorns on Jupiter does that mean they are real? Obviously some people think they are.

The words of men are neither spirit nor life. They are dead letters

That is about as convincing as saying all believers are hallucinating maniacs.

Moreover, man is not the measure of God.

What is God, Alamo-Girl? What one chooses to believe? Your God and Jewish God are mutually exclusive, incompatible. Your God and Allah are mutulaly exclusive and incompatioble. Everyonehas a "true" God thye claim.

And my testimony is this: That God is not a hypothesis. He lives. His Name is I AM. And I've known Him for a half century and counting.

And my "testimony" is that he is. He "lives" in people's minds. His name is whatever men have decided to call him, but neither Hebrew nor Greek scriptures call him "I AM". And personal, anecdotal "evidence" is no proof. And repeating your self over and over will not make it a proof.

Christianity and Judaism are mutually exlcusive. Ask any observant Jew.

Ask God.

They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. – Deuteronomy 32:21

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. – Romans 11:11

God's Name is also Jealous.

For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God: - Exodus 34:14

And He keeps His promises. Every. Single. One.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. - Revelation 1:7

And again,

But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. - Jer 31:33-37

And again,

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes. – Romans 11:25-28

And again,

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. – Rev 15:2-4

As for the rest of your post, Q.E.D. for my post 524.

God's Name is I AM.
