The scripture is right. It is your understanding and explanation of scripture which produces a deity which Jesus didn’t, doesn’t, and never will call his God and our God.
Where was Christ before He became something He was not before?
Who is the rock in the OT?
My understanding is not beclouded-since you are in agreement with the Orthodox Eliyahu.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
Php 2:6
Who, though existing in the demut of the mode of being of Elohim [His etzem or essential nature, Yn 1:1-2; 17:5], nevertheless Moshiach did not regard being equal with G-d as a thing to be seized [BERESHIS 3:5],
Php 2:7
But poured out and emptied himself [2C 8:9], taking the demut of the mode of being of an eved [YESHAYAH 52:13- 53:12 [T.N. see the AVDI TZADDIK TZEMACH DOVID MOSHIACH YIRMEYAH 23:5; ZECHARIAH 3:8],
and was born in the likeness of Bnei Adam [Yn 1:14; Ro 8:3; MJ 2:14-17], and having been found in appearance as an Adam,
Php 2:8 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach humbled himself and took the path of shiflut (lowliness), unto mishma'at (obedience 2:12) [cf. BERESHIS 3:17] even unto death [Yn 10:17; MJ 5:8; 12:2], and that, a death on HaEtz [the Tree, DEVARIM 21:23; 27:26; Ga 3:13; Pp 3:18].
Php 2:9 Therefore, also Hashem exalted [YESHAYAH 52:13; 53:12; DANIEL 9:26; 7:14; Ac 2:33; MJ 1:3] Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and gave to him haShem [Ep 1:21; MJ 1:4] above every name,
Php 2:10 That at haShem of Yehoshua, KOL BERECH (every knee YESHAYAH 45:23) will bow, of beings b'Shomayim and ba'Aretz and mitachat laAretz (in the world below),
Php 2:11 And KOL LASHON (every tongue YESHAYAH 45:23) shall make hoda'ah (confession) with an Ani Ma'amin that is an open and public admission that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) is Adoneinu, to the kavod of Elohim Avinu.
Rom_9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
1Co_10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1Pe_2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
And the rock was Christ (hē petra de ēn ho Christos). He definitely states here in symbolic form the preexistence of Christ. But surely “we must not disgrace Paul by making him say that the pre-incarnate Christ followed the march of Israel in the shape of a lump of rock” (Hofmann).
did: Exo_17:6; Num_20:11; Psa_78:15, Psa_78:20, Psa_105:41; Isa_43:20, Isa_48:21; Joh_4:10, Joh_4:14, Joh_7:37; Rev_22:17
followed them: or, went with them, Deu_9:21
that Rock: 1Co_11:24-25; Gen_40:12, Gen_41:26; Eze_5:4-5; Dan_2:38, Dan_7:17; Mat_13:38-39; Mat_26:26-28; Gal_4:25; Col_2:17; Heb_10:1
Who was/is the pre-incarnate Christ-BEFORE He became in the demut of man?
