Actually, that would be the temptation.

Very tenable, very plausible, very scriptural. See, specifically, posts #1-#6 in the following thread: True Trinity.

It would not preclude that Jesus knows him if he did (Matthew 7:21-23).

Jesus is the atomic glue that holds everything together...now that's power!

From my perspective Jesus is the Father (Isaiah 9:6); so yes He pre-existed.

Luke 1:15 is speaking of John the Baptist.

Unity at the expense of the truth is an undesirable. Unity in the truth is commanded by holy scripture (1 Corinthians 1:10, Philippians 1:27, Philippians 2:1-2). There will be two prevailing religions in the last days (if the church isn't raptured pre-trib): 1) A unified Christianity; and...
