Of course it's easy to say this sort of thing, not so easy to demonstrate it. In what way are the passages I've offered showing that 'ehyeh can and does have present meaning "ultimately, theological"? Anyone can say there's no grammatical or linguistic justification for something; I can say the same thing about reading BH with MH tensings. But such statements contribute nothing to the discussion.
