I am not sure if I understand you quite yet, Kristen. Do you mean that the Word of God before the creation of the world was designated to become the Christ (this I can agree with) or that the Word, who is pure Spirit, already was the Christ, the kinsman Redeemer, merely by the giving of a title, rather than the actual taking on of the kinsman Redeemer’s flesh? If this is what you believe, do you have a verse that says the title was given before creation to God? Or is this just something you believe in yourself without any clear verse stating as such? If it is the latter and you don’t have a verse that says God the Word took on a title of the Seed before creation and before incarnation, then I guess we will just have to agree to disagree and put this one to rest.
