I don’t know.
I think it leads us to where we need to look to the word. The INSPIRED word of God. The only thing that can be trusted.

There are many man made churches out there. Even in my view in some prominent denominations churches. As well as many man made smaller churches and cults. I think eternity is too long to place our eternity in the hands of men,, we need to place it in the hands of God and his word. For which we personally will be held accountable by God himself.

Most Christian’s I speak to believe they were created in the image of God woven of Him in their mommy’s womb. Fearfully and wonderfully made.
If they are not born again, and adopted into the family Of God. Spiritually Baptized into him, it does not matter what they think, they are still dead.. the outside may look good. But inside they are dead. And they will be lost forever.

I have 55 years of heavy indoctrination stuck in my head.

Has any Christian ever recited this Psalm to you in reference to themselves?

Fearfully and wonderfully made.

I fully believe in the preexisting Chris, in the mind of an all sovereign God, the entire Old Testament declares him.
Not what the Torah is saying--but you have made your point-Yeshua/Jesus is a "created being" excising only in the mind of YHVH.

So don't be harsh when I use secondary sources and resources-whether I name the author or no.
The selective few I use is readily available online-and do a basic study on Hebrew and Koine Greek--it might be helpful to know that Jesus was in intimate fellowship WITH pros the Father-the word "was" in John 1:1 means the same as the Hebrew word-haya-
Verb
Tense: Imperfect--now you need yo know what an Imperfect is-or means in this portion of Scripture

Voice: Active
Mood: Indicative
Person: third [he/she/it]
Number: Singular

--hence Messiah was not "in the mind" of His Father, but WITH the Father-starting from Genesis 1:1-not a "concept" in the nous of YHVH.

Shalom
J.
