But if you prefer, perhaps go to the last section, and put side your thoughts if possible and mine and tell me what you see, in other words, try a see it with an unbias view.
You're so farking funny!
Or as Rev 3:14 puts it, Jesus is - the beginning of the creation of God.
Considering the context of the passages, if he pre-existed, would he not already hold this literal preeminence?
You're not going to like this and your impulsive compulsive disorder will be itching to get the better of your reasoning that you think you can invalidate trinity reasoning and it will go in one ear and out the other.
Showing it's a totally futile exercise.

Theouof God. N-GMS The first title given to Jesus in this verse is "the Amen." The term "Amen" is an ancient Hebrew word that means "so be it" or "truly." In the context of this verse, it is used to emphasize the faithfulness and reliability of Jesus. He is the One who always fulfills his promises and whose word is trustworthy and true. As the "Amen," Jesus is the embodiment of truth and the guarantor of all that is certain and reliable. This title underscores the unchanging and unwavering nature of Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
The next title given to Jesus is "the faithful and true witness." This emphasizes his role as the reliable and trustworthy revealer of God's truth. Jesus proclaimed the message of the Gospel with unerring accuracy, and his life and teachings bear witness to the character and will of God. In a world filled with falsehood and deception, Jesus stands as the ultimate standard of truth, and his witness is beyond reproach. This title highlights his unwavering integrity and his commitment to speaking the truth, even when it is unpopular or inconvenient.
The final title given to Jesus in this verse is "the beginning of the creation of God." This phrase has been the subject of much theological debate, as it has implications for understanding the nature of Jesus' relationship to God the Father and his role in the creation of the world. Some understand this title to mean that Jesus was the first being created by God, while others interpret it to mean that he is the originator or ruler over all creation. Regardless of the specific interpretation, this title emphasizes the preeminence and sovereignty of Jesus Christ over the created order. He is the source of all life and the sustainer of the universe, and he holds ultimate authority over all things.
