Co-Equal
Philippians 2:6 "Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped."
"This illustrates the equality of the Son with God."

Hmm, is someone suggesting the Son is a Liar - John 14:28 - You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

Form of God, lets US see how the Bible shows us, exactly How this come to be, without the creations of the traditions of men, like the CC's.

First, some TRUTHS - John 1:1'c And God (Father) was/is The Word.
Deu 18:18 - I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.
Luke 2:40,52 - And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

Hmm, I wonder where and why this created pre-existing one lost favor with God, hmm.
Now we won't go ADDING nonsense and lies like, this is only speaking of the fleshly Son, will we.

Matt 28:18 - And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
John 3:35 - The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.
Acts 2:22 - Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—
John 14:10 - Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
John 4:24 Spirit the God is = (The One Holy Spirit) = The Baptism with the Spirit descending, resulting in John 3:34 - For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, because God does not give the Spirit/word by measure. (John 6:63,68.
John 5:26 - For as the Father has life (words - John 1:4) in Himself, so has He given to the Son (words) to have life in Himself.
John 17:8 - For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

So that's a snippet of the clear Bible truth, as to how the MAN became to be in the form of God = Simples.
So rather than big noting Himself of all the Father bestowed upon Him, He emptied all those notions and became like one of the least and washed others feet and said I have set you an example to follow.
And sure enough, Paul picks up on the like of this with = "Let this mind be in you which was in Jesus".
And the fairies come along and try and make a pre-existing emptying out of simple truths = nothing but weakness and pure desperation, to try and expand support for the Impossible porky pies.
