You're a breath of fresh air then. Most others have me burning in hell already. :-)
I believe that it is necessary to bring together a number of OT & NT scriptures to synthesize this particular understanding ... a luxury that the early Christians didn't have.
I believe that you stated that you accept the teaching/writings of Paul.
If so, then what of Philippians 2 ...Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
