I have read the text. And you continue to say that I'm not reading it correctly unless I read it with my Catholic trinity glasses on. We have been over this more than 10 times. The mind of Christ Jesus is the mind of the spirit that Paul is telling the Christian to walk in. There's nothing else there.
nice try since the discussion is on the deity of Christ. One doesn't have to be a trinitarian or a Catholic to believe in Christ Deity.
You say Righteous. I write about Righteous and it's in my book in chapter 4. Enjoy...

Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:
It's awesome to realize we are God’s glorious inheritance in the family of God, and we have an inheritance that will allow us to be seated in the heavenlies in God’s household. We are heirs and joint heirs with Jesus Christ, who has made it available for us to be righteous, receive redemption, sanctification, and wisdom. We are reconciled and made members in the one body of Christ, making possible God’s plan for bridging the gap between the carnal and spirit world because of the work of His dear Son Jesus Christ. Righteousness is our God given ability to stand before God with Christ, who has given us the high and holy privilege of standing with him, without any sin, condemnation, frustration, or fear.
God is almighty, all powerful, and all loving over all that is in heaven and on the earth, and this is why He is righteous in judgment over good and evil, beyond time, space, and change. It's totally impossible for people to immortalize themselves and attain the righteousness of God by participating in sacraments such as to pray, praise, and give thanks. It's not the hymns, chorales, chants, or the instrumental music. It's not the buildings for worship, the art, the architecture, the kneeling, dipping, dunking, chanting, counting, lighting, confessing our sins or moral and political behavior.
Many Christians try to earn God’s righteousness by being a good person, a good member of their church, a good father or mother, or a good child. Some try by being a good worker, a good student, a wonderful husband or wife, and a good neighbor. Some try by singing more hymns, by running to the altar, by confessing their sins, and by being a law-abiding citizen. Others try by water baptism, the Old Testament Law, the rosary, fasting, giving to their church, and giving to the poor. These are all nice and wonderful dynamic moral commitments that, at best, are only the commandments of people.
Jesus once told the religious leaders of his time they were teaching for the truth of God’s Word, “the commandments of men.” It appears we continue to do the same in our day and time. People can never win the right to stand before God’s righteousness through their own traditions and ordinances, which at best, are only the consequences of the commandments of people. The only begotten Son, who is in the Father’s love, comfort, and rest, has declared and unfolded the concealed things of God once and for all. The world so desperately needs the light of the gospel of Christ, who has shown us the Father’s heart, so we who hunger and thirst after righteousness can be filled.
It's not my book. Not my writings you say. Well, then I need to talk to the Attorney who charged me for the @copyrights in 1997.
The book is mine. I understand that it bothers you. But it's still mine. Jesus Christ is still not God.
No that is not what I am saying at all

There's nothing to deal with concerning Jesus before he became a man because Jesus was not here before he became a man.
You are ignoring the text
But Stephen did not call out to Jehovah. He called out to the resurrected Christ.
As one would call out to Jehovah, the one to whom the Spirit returns according to scripture
In the Old Testament humans called out to God. In the New Testament humans call out to God and many times to Jesus Christ.
He clearly said on manly occasions He was I heaven and came into this world from heaven.
We believe he existed as the plan before he was born. John was probably the plan for his ministry before he was born. This is God creating His plans.
Jesus doesn't say He existed as a "plan" before He became man. He says numerous times He was in heaven and came from heaven to this earth. He says He was together with the Other before the world came into existence.
When he said I was before Abraham he was saying this thing is all about me long before Abraham was around. He was not saying he was physically here.
