@EdJ Hi Ed,
Why do you doubt that God was with Jesus even before He was living in him?
Why do you doubt that God nurtured the son conceived of His Spirit?

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.ps 145.18
Thus says the Lord of hosts
‘In those days 10 men from the nations of every language will grasp the garment of a Jew saying
‘Let us go with you for we have heard that God is with you’ Zech 8.23
Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence…
Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written,
the days that were appointed for me, whenas yet there was not one of them Ps 139.7-16

He knew His Father and God was WITH HIM even before his anointing
