Pre-existence of Christ
The pre-existence of Christ asserts the existence of Christ prior to his incarnation as Jesus. One of the relevant Bible passages is John 1 (John 1:1–18) where, in the Trinitarian interpretation, Christ is identified with a pre-existent divine hypostasis (substantive reality) called the Logos (Koine Greek for "word" or "reason"). There are nontrinitarian views that question the aspect of personal pre-existence, the aspect of divinity, or both.
More particularly, John 1:15, 18 says:
John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”...No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
This doctrine is supported in John 17:5 when Jesus refers to the glory that he had with the Father "before the world existed" during the Farewell Discourse. John 17:24 also refers to the Father loving Jesus "before the foundation of the world". Passages in Revelation 21,6 in which Jesus refers to himself as the Alpha and Omega has been thought to refer to the pre-existence of Jesus. In the Pauline soteriology, 1 Corinthians 10,4;9Philippians 2:6–11, 2 Corinthians 8:9, Galatians 4:4 and 1 Corinthians 8:6 are passages that are seen as evidence that Paul believed in the pre-existence of Christ. However, the interpretation that these passages refer to the pre-existence of Christ has been disputed by a minority of scholars such as James Dunn
The pre-existence of Christ is affirmed at the beginning of the Nicene Creed.
The pre-existence of Christ is a central tenet of mainstream Christianity. Most mainstream churches that accept the Nicene Creed consider the nature of Christ's pre-existence as the divine hypostasis called the Logos or Word, described in John 1:1–18, which begins:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.
