Php 2:5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
Php 2:6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
Php 2:8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Php 2:9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
Per the scripture, He existed in the form of God, was equal to God (which isn't to be grasped), and was made in the likeness of men. For this reason, God highly exalted Him and gave Him a name. Someone exalted someone else. Someone game someone else a name. Per scripture, God exalted Jesus, God gave Jesus a name. This wasn't God interacting with Himself, exalting Himself and giving Himself a name above every name. God is God, Jesus is Jesus who isn't God.
No, the go-to scripture simply does not agree with the theory that Jesus is both God and man. Nothing in the passage suggests such a theory.
