The problem with that is that The Son was The Son before he was Jesus. He was not always from before time of the flesh, but rather became incarnate from His previous state.
Frank Sheed had a rather good explanation of the Trinity in his book Theology and Sanity. Roughly, that the Son is the Father’s knowing of Himself and the Spirit is the Love between. It’s dense, but well worth a read.

What does that statement mean Eepsy?
What do you mean by previous state?
I’m pretty much self-taught, and yes, I will stumble along the way, but I’m having trouble interpreting that statement above, because Christ Jesus was before time of anything. He is the Word according to the Gospel of John 1, and all things were made by Him and there was nothing made without Him.
I also understand that Christ Jesus has appeared in and out of our physical realm before. He was even Melchizedek in Genesis. Christ Jesus speaks of Abraham seeing Him and was glad according to Gospel of John 8:46, and Hebrews 7:1 speaks of Him having no beginning of days or end of life.
I guess the names, places, and times can change here and there, but His face remains the same ... smiles ... I just love the LORD so much, and want to share His love with others, but I’m not too sure if I’m being misunderstood sometimes. Please help me to understand what you meant, and I’ll check back after lunchtime ... smiles again.
