  1. Please give me even one Scripture where God is called the Christ before the incarnation.

In the interests of not writing a tome pointing to the various texts I shall give a single simple answer:
Psalm 2: “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed…” (Annointed =”Messiah” in Hebrew = “Christ” in Greek)

Which indisputably refers to God the Son as the “Messiah” in the OT (unless one wanted to suggest that this verse isn’t actually about Jesus who proclaimed Himself to be the prophesied Christ… Heb 1:13)

(Of course Dan 9:25 also immediately comes to mind… but I promised not to write a tome…)

Post Scriptum: don’t worry no plans or time to actually jump back into any extended discussion – just thought I would deliver a quick answer
