Philippians 2:6 Commentary.
Isaiah 40:25
“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Isaiah 46:5
“With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?
Philippians 2:5-7
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Yahshua: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
That word "equal" could be translated in other words, such as, "equated," or "counted," or "equality." If Yahshua states that "The Father is greater than I" and refers to his Father in prayer as "You, the only true God." It's kind of obvious that he's not equal to the one who sent him. "God exalted him," he did not exalt himself.
Here is an alternate reading of Philippians 2:6. Who being in the form of God did not think equality with God as obtainable.
The alternate translation must be correct, because thinking of yourself as equal to God is not humble. Besides that, it would be a contradiction to other scriptures.
