Question: Jesus became man after he emtied himself and took the form (in the flesh). But before that, doesn't verse 6 show the pre-existense of Jesus, I mean, He was in the form of God and did not consider it roberry to be equal with God.
Answer: No. The emptying out of Jesus refers to His humanity. As a man, He emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant. We do believe that Jesus pre-existed His conception and birth, but we do not believe He pre-existed as God the Son or as the second person in the Godhead or as a secondary divine being. We believe He existed as the Supreme God, Creator of heaven and earth.
