You obviously never have either..
John 1:1-18
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me, is preferred before me: because he was before me.
16 And of his fulness we all have received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
The concept of the pre-existence of Christ is a central tenet of the doctrine of the
Trinity. Trinitarian
Christology explores the nature of Christ's pre-existence as the Divine
hypostasis called the
Logos or Word, described in the passage
John 1:1–18, which begins:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
— John 1:1–3,
New International Version
This "Word" is also called
God the Son or the Second Person of the Trinity. Theologian
Bernard Ramm noted that "It has been standard teaching in historic Christology that the Logos, the Son, existed before the
incarnation. That the Son so existed before the incarnation has been called the pre-existence of Christ."
