The Pre-Existence Of The Son
 
I have another thread out there right now where I do have some thoughts I have been considering and I am enjoying the information that many are sharing giving me more to think about in my search for what thus sayeth the word of God.

But this subject... I'm just completely at a loss.


I can percieve that Jesus was born a little over 2000 years ago. In my mind the son has no existence prior to the conception the day God overshadowed Mary other than in the plan of God.

I have heard some put the throught forward that the son had pre-existence before the incarnation. I just cannot wrap my mind around that at all. There are things that I don't believe but I can see where they get the concept from. On this one... I cannot even understand where they can get the concept from although there are some head scratcher verses out there such as...

"The glory I had with thee before the world began" (Or something similar) etc.


So... what is everyones concept of the son prior to the incarnation?

I think I have, basically, put my thoughts out there but ask any questions you have about what I might think on the subject.

I think the Son pre-existed being human as God Himself

This is how I see it too. This option isn't listed.

So basically, Father and Son are synonyms for one "person"?

i think the son preexisted as the word who was a manifestation of god. i think that explains how he came down from heaven and had glory with the father.
