You might believe in that, Jermyn. But God doesn't. (Be careful that your Trinitarian C.O.G.I.C. pals dont start to corrupt your godhead theology.)
Jesus' pre-existence was as the Word, before he was made flesh.
However, the Word was not
eternally preexistent within God.
You have NO bible for that whatsoever, sir. It's just not there.
The Word was brought into being at a particular point in time, which is why the bible repeatedly refers to the
begotten Son, not an
eternally preexistent Son.
Hence, the Word was not
eternally preexistent with God. If you have scripture to demonstrate otherwise, feel free to share it with us.
Trinitarians fail to grasp the distinction between an eternally preexistent Son (a
man-made concept) vs. a begotten Son (a reality repeatedly spelled out in Scripture)
