Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God...
John 13:3
I don't see a reasonable way to interpret the Gospel of John to say that #yeshua is not God and didn't exist before his conception in Mary. Yeshua existed before Creation, created everything, is God, was God, came from God, and returned to God.
I get that this is difficult to understand, but insisting that there is no way to reconcile these apparent discrepancies shows an inability (at best) or unwillingness (at worst) to think outside one's own box.
Also notice that this thought is echoed by Paul in Ephesians 4:8-10. I think that's deliberate, and it dramatically contradicts how many people interpret Paul's words.

WORD FOR TODAY ” would you follow this crazy idea?”: Exo 32:1 When the people saw that Moshe was taking a long time to come down from the mountain, they gathered around Aharon and said to him, "Get busy; and make us gods to go ahead of us; because this Moshe, the man that brought us up from the land of Egypt—we don't know what has become of him."
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 19:8 To acquire good sense is to love oneself; to treasure discernment is to prosper.
POSITIVE WORD FOR TODAY: Isa 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Thought for Today: Monday March 10
Never be discourage by the difficulty of keeping your focus on YHVH Elohiym. He knows that your heart’s desire is to be aware of His Presence continually. This is a lofty goal; you aim toward it but never fully achieve it in this life. Do not let feelings of failure weigh you down. Instead, try to see yourself as YHVH sees you. I believe that He is delighted by every believer’s desire to walk closely with Him. And I believe that He is pleased each time every believer initiate communication with Him. I believe that YHVH notice the progress every believer has made since they decided to live in His Presence.
The temple tax being collected in Matthew 17:24-27 was not part of God's Law, although it was loosely based on the census of Exodus 30:11-16. It was a man-made tradition instituted for the financial support of the Temple. There's nothing wrong it so long as nobody claimed it was a requirement of Torah, but Yeshua used the tax to illustrate a couple of truths about our relationship to him, to the Father, and to the world.
As children of the King of Kings, we are not under the authority of any Law, yet out of love for him and his kingdom, we willingly keep his commandments and even man-made laws and traditions that aren't sinful.

It may be different, but it looks like the flesh that He became (john 1:14) only got formed in mary's womb. and looking at it like that, Him IN the flesh, ie His flesh, had not existed before.
i say it like this because we talk of things of God from our limited (biological) understanding.
this does not in any way contradict the description john gives of His begotten Being.
we, on the other hand, get created into being along with our flesh.
it's the trap of thinking you are (a part of) your flesh, iso realising your (by itself dead) flesh is but a part of you.
