AMEN, brother!! We finally agree!!
Now if I could get you to agree with this:
the "person of Jesus Christ" is the eternal God of the OT.

God has chosen to permanently manifest Himself in the body of the man Jesus Christ. It's not the FLESH we consider God; it's the MAN we consider God. Big difference, but one you won't appreciate, so I expect objection.
