Learn what εγω ειμι means... "For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve," (Acts 27:23) εγω ειμι Acts 27:23 Interlinear: for there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom I serve --
You continue to deflect.

Yes, I know 'ego eimi'.

What you are deflecting from is this, so I'll repost it:


Your answer there is in Philippians 2, I'm sure you know about it. Jesus "took on the form of a servant", being found in fashion as a man. This is one of those places where understanding Who Jesus actually is will allow you to just read the verse "as is".

He "took on the form of a servant". Someone Who already has existance can "take on a form". In that this "taking on a form" is accomplished by "being found in fashion as a man", this Someone Who already exists does so prior to being found in fashion as a man. And that this One takes on the form of a servant, His form was not of a servant. Angels, for instance, are servants, ministering spirits to those inheriting salvation.

That He took on the form of a servant is why He is handing the keys to His Father.

Much love!

~ simply stated, the verse shows that Jesus existed before His incarnation, and was not a servant-angel, one of the created ministering spirits, who minister to those inheriting salvation.

But I completely understand why you would want to try to indirectly wriggle away from this.

Much love!
