His allusion to eternal existence may be in reference to his message, not his being. You have the next 100 years to look for it. Ready? Go!

I provided an answer to Mr. Albini's challenge. I will provide others as well since there are many in the Gospel though John 10:30 is the most unequivocal declaration of divinity.
I think Albini's waffling on his wager here. If he does not agree to pay me 100 dollars in cash (which I will give away to a very good cause...just wait and see) then I say he's nothing but a weasel.

10Matthew,
Steve gave a perfectly good rebuff of this quote. "I and the father are one" is an allusion to the unity of all with all. If you choose to bypass this and read it as "I am God and no-one else", that's your interpretation.
