John 8:58
before Abraham was, I AM
Revelation 1:17
I AM the First and the Last
He was always Deity and Soul in union.
Before Abraham His soul was with God.
The Incarnation only gave his eternal soul a body!
Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me. Hebrews 10:5
Whom ever "me" was?
That body was prepared for him.
The Soul of Jesus in union with Deity was mentioned in the OT.
The combination of Soul and Deity? = the Lord God of Israel.
"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” - John 4:24.
Read that, please? God is not soul. ... Jesus said that
God is spirit.
Now, for the Soul of God...
'You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new.
Moreover, I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you.'
I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people." Lev 26:10-12
And they began to remove the foreign gods from their midst and to serve Jehovah,
so that his soul became impatient because of the trouble of Israel. Jdges 10:16
Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, and anyone
loving violence his soul certainly hates." Ps 11:5
God is not soul. God is spirit. The OT union of soul and Deity was the state of being for the pre-incarnate Lord.
For the human body for the Lord God of Israel's soul came later.
