Not according to Scripture. You have failed to address how in Philippians 2:5 Paul was telling the church of Philippi to have the same mind as Jesus and then, when Paul explained the mind of Jesus, he didn't mention anything about Jesus previously existing as God. What Paul was describing must be something obtaining for the church of Philippi to have in their mind.
Did you even read the text?
Philippians 2:5–6 (NASB 2020) — 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6
who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
This has got to be the boldest form of bald denial I have ever seen
The version you provided doesn't make any sense either. God doesn't need to consider equality with himself because He is already God. However, Jesus did not consider equality with God according to Scripture. So your version also contains a contradiction.
There goes your confusion again. The person of the son is not the person of the Father
And it not my version but all versions
John 14
28You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
Work out the contradictions in your belief system and come back to that point when you have a workaround.
There you go diverting
The issue is Christs pre-existance
Why are you avoiding the point?
You have a major problem which you have previously failed to address
Philippians 2:4–7 (KJV 1900) — 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
before he took upon himself the form of a man he existed in the form of God
addition before becoming flesh
He was with God and created all things
John 1:1–3 (KJV 1900) — 1 IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
And he had glory with god before the world began
John 17:5 (KJV 1900) — 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Try as you may, it is not possible to remove his pre-existance from the words of scripture
Next, John 1:1-3, in verse 2 ends with God. Verse 3 refers to the previously mentioned God. That would not be Jesus who created.
In the context of John 17:5, Jesus isn't God. John 17:3 says the Father is the only true God.
Any other misunderstandings?
Again you deny scripture
John 1:1–3 (NASB 2020) — 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.
The word is he who was in the beginning he who was with God
The pronoun he refers to the Word who became flesh who is identified as Jesus Christ
still more scripture you must deny
Colossians 1:13–16 (KJV 1900) — 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
and even more
Ephesians 3:9 (KJV 1900) — 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ:
all you have offered is a denial of scripture and avoidance of the point
