You, Fig, asked a question which I will rephrase:
Is it true that God our Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and/or the Holy Spirit had no personal experience or knowledge of what it is like to be mortal, or to be tempted, or to discern between good and evil, or what it feels like to commit sin, and die, etc, before the person we now know as Jesus Christ was born as a mortal on this planet we call Earth ?
Or, as another rephrase of that question:
Is the true that the only way God our Father in heaven knows what it is like to be mortal, or to be tempted, or to discern between good and evil, or what it feels like to sin, and die, etc, is by God our Father somehow gaining that knowledge through Jesus Christ rather than through his own personal (aka subjective) experiences ?
I believe Tim would answer that question with a Yes, Fig.
... if Tim ever felt inclined to answer that question, personally.
