..."Without the flesh, there is no Jesus. He was never “something else” before he was Jesus."...

Wrong!

Jesus is God. God is Spirit. Ergo Jesus is Spirit. You were spirit. God knew you before the foundation of the world.( you were spirit before birth) God put you in your mothers womb. You became flesh when you were conceived.

Jesus was "put" in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit to receive His fleshly body. Our bodies are described as "tent's, tabernacles, houses, temple's, vessels, ect. It is a place for our Spirit to be housed. There are many sightings of Jesus before Jesus. Melchizedek being one. He has no beginning and no end, he was the High Priest of God, before there were priests. He was the King of peace( Salem and other descriptors.) The Angel of the Lord ( capital "A") came to Gideon and Abraham. When you have an Angel say take off your shoes, you are on holy ground, that is Jesus. Angels that aren't Jesus even tell men NOT to bow to them. Angels that are seen by men have bodies, but I hesitate to call a glorified body "flesh". Flesh dies. Flesh is for Earth Dwellers. Jesus was flesh for 33 years and received a new glorified body. It was the same body seen on Mt of Transfiguration. I believe the Transfigured body is the Body he has in Heaven since the beginning. It does things flesh can't do,....like change into light.

My position has to do with how I see time outside of the creation in which we live. I like to put it this way: Time is a current in an ocean called eternity.

Jesus said that before the world was created, “I am.”

I’m not sure we disagree. I think we are just trying to come up with different ways of describing something neither of us has the capacity to understand. We are like two blind men trying to describe red.
