no problem. the term "BEING" is present tense, correct. at the time of his earthly flesh he is "Spirit", ... (IN THE ECHAD OF HIS OWN SELF IN FLESH). which is the EQUAL SHARE of himself in Spirit. which is bared out in the Last half of the scripture, "thought it not robbery to be equal with God" EQUAL .... "WITH", not equal "to". for if he was EQUAL TO, that would indicate a separate person, which why "Form" is G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') and IDENTIFIES that "EQUAL WITH NATURE. which is a "EQUALLY SHARED NATURE". let's see it. Follow 101G.Can you define "Being the form of God" a little more. "morphe of form" (as you've presented" is a rather broad reference.
G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') 1. form. 2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
[perhaps from the base of G3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts)]
KJV: form
Root(s): G3313
the base of 3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') IDENTIFIES this EQUAL NATURE. let's see it.
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
THERE IS OUR ANSWER, "a portion" and another word for, and is synonyms with portion is "SHARE" which can be found here at, https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/portion.html#C0-1 under the first heading, "A part of a whole". and this PART OF THE WHOLE is the EQUAL "SHARE" of this whole, meaning the same one.
so, the Lord Jesus Nature is the EQUAL SHARE of the WHOLE, not an EQUAL SHARE ..... "FROM" .... the Whole, but the EQUAL SHARE ..... "OF" .... the WHOLE, meaning the same WHOLE.... EQUALLY.
it do, as to his "PERSON", and not his NATURE, but his PERSON, in Reference to his, character, or characteristics, this is why he is called "Son". for the term Son is not biological in reference to the Lord Jesus. the TERM "Son" in feference to his "PERSON", Hebrew 1:3 is Rendered "Son". using the Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words the term "Son" is [ 1,,G5207, huios ] primarily signifies the relation of offspring to parent (See John 9:18-John 9:20; Gal 4:30. It is often used metaphorically of prominent moral characteristics. Which are those who act in a certain way, whether evil, Matt 23:31, or good, Gal 3:7; (g) those who manifest a certain character, whether evil, Acts 13:10; Eph 2:2, or good, Luke 6:35; Acts 4:36; Rom 8:14; (h) the destiny that corresponds with the character, whether evil, Matt 23:15; John 17:12; 2Thess 2:3, or good, Luke 20:36; (i) the dignity of the relationship with God.I believe Hebrews 1:3 fits right here....
see this is why the Lord God Jesus is called the Holy Spirit. For Holy is his (character/Title Son), and Spirit is his (Nature/Title Father). hence the term ...... "Holy Spirit".
101G must disagree there, for intrinsic means belonging naturally; essential, for INNATE is inborn; natural. see God is not NATURAL. the Nature he took on is. but not his intrinsic nature. remember the Lord Jesus the Christ is the "ARM" of, of, of, God. scripture, Isaiah 63:5 "And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me."Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Notice the "innate" qualities of Incarnation within Jesus Christ. (Innate is a better choice of words because it is more relative to "Person" than intrinsic. When you appeal to "intrinsic", you're referencing Christ more so as an "object". Not a distinct "person
question time, who is God's OWN arm...... (which is a gimmie), but for educational purposes. let do it by the scriptures, Isaiah 53:1 "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?" (God is about to reveal his, his, his, Own, own, own, ARM)....... BELIEVE. Isaiah 53:2 "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him." (STOP, God's OWN ARM is a he, a him ..... Hello, ONE NEED TO READ THAT AGAIN). Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not." Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
one can finish reading the chapter. but we can clearly see that God's own...... own ....... own ARM is him shared equally in flesh. as 101G been saying, on earth he calls his OWN Spirit... "Father", not in a biological sense, but in a Spiritual sense of "SOURCE". ......... (smile). hence his speech, "My Father". hence intrinsic "belonging naturally; essential" Oh this is too easy not to understand.
so, as the EQUAL SHARE, he is essentially designed or portrait as the KINSMAN REDEEMER, the SAVIOUR of the World. for he is EQUAL "WITH", again indicating the same one person. this is just too easy.
