How do you square that verse with this one? Phil 2:6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped...

Excellent question! Read the next 2 verses. Besides, I'm not sure your quoting the scripture correctly.

Phil 2:6 Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God. (King James)

This is God humbling himself, lowering himself to the status of man so he could do what was required to save us. The love God has shown us knows no bounds and is extremely beyond reproach.

God is Jesus.
